Paperclip

What Paperclip is

Paperclip is an open source AI agent management and automation platform. It lets you organise and govern agent teams, setting goals, budgets, organisational structure and business tasks, and it is designed to be self-hosted.

What you can do with it

• Define agent roles and structure
• Set goals and spending limits
• Assign business automation tasks
• Run the stack on your own infrastructure

Who it is for

• Developers and automation engineers
• Startup teams
• People studying agent governance

What to watch out for

• Agents can perform real operations, so permissions, budgets, auditing and manual approval matter
• The project is free, but running models, databases and infrastructure costs money
• Experimental governance models should not touch production systems without guardrails
• Confirm current maturity and support
