    From the README

    Open-source orchestration for teams of AI agents.

    If OpenClaw is an employee, Paperclip is the company.

    Paperclip is a Node.js server and React UI that orchestrates a team of AI agents to run a business. Bring your own agents, assign goals, and track work and costs from one dashboard.

    It looks like a task manager. Under the hood: org charts, budgets, governance, goal alignment, and agent coordination.

    Manage business goals, not pull requests.

    If it can receive a heartbeat, it's hired.

    Four things have to work for an organization of AI agents to actually produce: the tasks, the org, the training, and the infrastructure. Paperclip is built around exactly those four pillars.
