Paperclip

Keeping a group of AI agents organized, on budget and accountable is the job Paperclip does. Paperclip is an open-source platform for managing teams of autonomous AI agents, and it focuses on the management layer rather than acting as a chatbot or a workflow builder.

You set up an org chart, give the company business goals, hire AI employees and assign them work.

Agents communicate through a ticket-based system, so you can trace who did what and hold each one to account.

Hard budget limits cap spending, which matters because autonomous agents can otherwise keep running up model costs.

Governance tools sit alongside that.

Paperclip does not lock you to one vendor.

You can bring any agent or LLM provider into the same structured environment and manage them side by side.

That works for developers and operators who already run several agents and want a clear hierarchy and spending caps instead of a pile of disconnected scripts.

Because the code is open, you can read how it works before you rely on it.
