Paperclip: Hire AI Agents Like Employees (Live Demo)
Greg Isenberg talks with Dota, creator of Paperclip, an open-source AI agent orchestrator that gained 30,000 GitHub stars in three weeks, covering how to manage teams of AI agents autonomously.
The gist
-
Think like a board member setting high-level goals rather than micromanaging tasks, then let agents handle execution.
-
Paperclip gives you visibility into agent work, monthly token spend, and task progress across your whole AI team.
-
Agents have no memory between sessions, so heartbeat checklists help them remember their identity, goals, and context.
-
You need to feed agents your values through brand guides and feedback loops, since AI cannot infer your taste on its own.
