## What it is
Paperclip is an open-source Node.js server and React UI for orchestrating teams of AI agents as a structured 'company', with org charts, goals, budgets, approvals, and cost tracking. It supports multiple agent runtimes (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, custom HTTP adapters) and can be run locally or self-hosted on a server.

## Use cases
- manage a team of AI agents from one dashboard
- orchestrate AI agents to run business tasks like dev, marketing, and QA
- set budgets and approval workflows for autonomous agents
- build an org chart of AI agents with delegation paths
- self-host an agent control plane with goals and cost tracking
- connect different agent runtimes like Claude Code and Codex to one workspace
- assign business goals to AI agents and monitor progress

## When to choose
- you want a polished, self-hosted dashboard to coordinate multiple AI agents with governance, budgets, and approvals
- you need vendor-neutral orchestration that works with many agent runtimes and providers
- you want to run agents as a structured workforce with org charts and goal alignment rather than ad-hoc chat sessions

## When to avoid
- you only need a single-agent chat assistant or simple prompt automation
- you want a fully managed SaaS with no self-hosting responsibility
- your workflow is pure CI/CD or cron-style job scheduling without AI agents
