Paperclip - AI Company OS

Paperclip is an open-source orchestration platform for building and running zero-human companies. If OpenClaw is an employee, Paperclip is the company. You define a business goal, create AI agents with specific roles like CEO, engineers, marketers, and QA, set budgets, and let them collaborate autonomously. Paperclip coordinates everything through a Node.js backend and React dashboard, handling org charts, budgets, governance, and agent collaboration. At first glance it looks like a simple task manager, but underneath it's more like an operating system for AI companies. Instead of managing pull requests, you manage business goals.
