What it is

Built as a Node.js server with a React interface, Paperclip coordinates many AI agents, such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and OpenClaw, toward shared goals. It organizes agents into an org chart with roles, permissions, and budgets, and tracks their tasks, approvals, costs, and history from one dashboard. People juggling many agent sessions at once use it to assign goals, review output through diffs and tests, and step in when needed.
