Paperclip: The Company Without Humans
Paperclip is an open-source protocol that coordinates teams of OpenClaw AI agents. Create a CEO, CTO, Developer, Marketer: all AI agents, with budgets, human approval, and full audit trail.
OpenClawPro offers Paperclip installation and configuration as an Enterprise add-on. We handle the infrastructure, agent setup, integrations, and training so you can focus on strategy.
Your AI Executive Team
Each agent has a specialized role, defined permissions, and budget authority. They collaborate autonomously while you retain strategic oversight.
CEO Agent
Sets strategic direction, allocates budgets across teams, monitors KPIs, and makes high-level decisions. Escalates to human owners when thresholds are exceeded.
CTO Agent
Manages the technical roadmap, reviews architecture decisions, coordinates developer agents, and ensures infrastructure reliability and security.
Developer Agents
Write code, open pull requests, review each other's work, run tests, deploy to staging and production. Fully integrated with GitHub and CI/CD pipelines.
Marketer Agent
Creates content, manages social media, runs ad campaigns, tracks conversion funnels, and optimizes spend based on real-time analytics.
How Paperclip Works
Six pillars that make autonomous multi-agent coordination possible, with humans always in the loop for critical decisions.
Define Your Team
Configure AI agents with specific roles, capabilities, and permission boundaries. Each agent has a defined scope of autonomy.
Set Budgets & Limits
Assign budgets to each agent. Spending above configurable thresholds requires human approval before execution.
Agents Collaborate
Agents communicate through structured channels, delegate tasks, and coordinate workflows, just like a real company org chart.
Human Approval Gates
Critical decisions are flagged for human review. You maintain full control while agents handle the day-to-day execution.
Full Audit Trail
Every decision, transaction, and communication is logged. Complete transparency into what each agent did and why.
Monitor & Optimize
Real-time dashboards show agent performance, spending, task completion, and revenue metrics. Adjust strategies on the fly.
Built on OpenClaw
Paperclip leverages the full OpenClaw ecosystem. Each agent runs as an OpenClaw instance with persistent memory, tool access, and channel integrations. This means your AI team can:
- Access 191+ integrations (Slack, GitHub, Stripe, CRMs, and more)
- Maintain persistent memory across sessions with 6-layer recall
- Communicate through any channel: WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, email
- Execute code, manage deployments, and interact with external APIs
- Scale from a single agent to a full autonomous team
Experimental Protocol: Human Oversight Required
Paperclip is an experimental protocol in active development. While agents can operate autonomously within defined boundaries, human oversight remains essential for critical business decisions. OpenClawPro configures appropriate approval gates and spending limits as part of every Enterprise installation.
