paperclip: Open-source orchestration for teams of AI agents.
What problem it solves
Teams coordinating multiple AI agents need a shared place to assign goals, delegate work, manage recurring jobs, and understand what agents are doing. They also need governance, cost controls, persistent context, and auditable histories so autonomous work can be supervised without manually monitoring separate terminals and scripts.
Key features
Bring Your Own Agent — Coordinate agents from different providers and runtimes through one organization. Supported agents and external adapters can join the roster and receive work through heartbeats.
Source: README
Organize Goals and Work — Link projects and tasks to company goals while keeping conversations, plans, blockers, files, and run history attached to the work. Agents receive context about why their assigned work matters.
Source: README
Govern Agents and Access — Define roles, reporting lines, permissions, review stages, and connection policies for human and agent participants. Operators can approve hires, pause or reassign work, and enforce scoped access boundaries.
Source: README
Control Budgets and Costs — Set budgets at the company, agent, and project levels, then track reported spending and receive threshold alerts. Configured limits can pause ongoing work.
Source: README
Automate Recurring Work — Run recurring work on a schedule or trigger it through an API or webhook. Every routine execution receives an owner, a tracked task, and inspectable history.

npx paperclipai@latest onboard --yesWho it may suit
This may suit teams and developers who coordinate several AI agents toward shared business goals and need task tracking, delegation, governance, and cost controls.
Topics to discuss
Which agent runtimes and adapter boundaries should receive first-class support?
How should approval policies balance autonomous execution with human oversight?
Which governance and cost-control patterns work best for multi-agent organizations?
