# Instructions for writing the README.md

The readme should be visually interesting, to the point, not too long.
Use the copy from the website in cases where we need some.

# What is it

Paperclip is a node server & UI that orchestrates a team of agents to run businesses.

Bring-your-own agents, assign goals, and track your agent's work and costs.

It looks like a task manager but has specialized skills and agent coordination

**It's high taste, and feels good to use**

# Paperclip is right for you if:

- You want to build autonomous companies
- You want to coordinate many different types agents (OpenClaw, Codex, Claude, Cursor, etc.) to collaborate towards a common goal
- You have 20 simultaneous Claude Code terminals open (and lose track of what everyone is working on)
- You want to let your agents run autonomously 24/7, but still audit their work and chime in when needed
- You want to monitor costs
- You want a process for managing your agents that feels like using a task manager
- You want to manage your autonomous businesses from your phone

# What is not

Paperclip is not:

- a code review tool
- opinionated about what agent you use

If you want to be maximally effective with agents, you need to
