Paperclip is an open-source framework for running autonomous multi-agent AI organizations. You define a company goal, a CEO agent is created that autonomously hires sub-agents (engineers, researchers, reviewers), and these agents coordinate via an issue-tracking interface to complete tasks. The tutorial covers deploying Paperclip on a VPS via Hostinger with one-click Docker setup, authenticating LLM providers (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini), configuring agent heartbeats, writing system prompts for each agent role, and managing tasks through a Kanban board. Key tips include writing proactive CEO prompts with structured workflows, creating feedback loops between agent sub-teams, and connecting external APIs like GitHub and ConvertKit to give agents real capabilities.
