What you get

Built in, not bolted on.

One control plane

Coordinate Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, Codex and Cursor agents, plus custom process or webhook adapters, from one Paperclip company.

Roles and goals

Set what the company is working toward, then give each agent a role and the tasks that go with it.

Budgets per agent

Assign operating budgets to agents and see where model spend goes as work moves along.

Heartbeats and history

Agents check in on a heartbeat, and every task keeps a history you can review and audit later.

Any model provider

Mix Claude, GPT-4, Gemini and local models across adapters without tying the company to one vendor.

Private by default

Agent outputs, adapter credentials and task history stay on your own server.

Questions

Paperclip AI Hosting, answered.

What is Paperclip AI?

An open-source orchestration layer for AI agents. It does not run agents itself; it coordinates them through adapters and gives you goals, roles, budgets and task tracking in one dashboard.

Can I use Claude Code and Hermes in the same company?

Yes. Assign one adapter to some roles and another to the rest. Paperclip handles task routing, budgets and heartbeats across all of them at once.

How much server do I need?

The control plane on its own needs little. The adapters do the heavy work, so size CPU and RAM by how many agents run at the same time and which tools they use.

Are model costs included?

No. You connect your own AI provider accounts and pay them for usage. The server price stays the same however many runs you trigger.

Can I deploy Paperclip my own way?

Yes. With root access you can clone the GitHub repository for full code access, or run it with Docker for simpler updates and service isolation.
