AI Orchestration

Paperclip for Mac Mini

Use Paperclip for Mac Mini with Roundfleet Cloud

Paperclip is open-source orchestration for zero-human companies. Hire AI employees, set goals, automate jobs — and your business runs itself. Combined with OpenClaw agents running on dedicated Roundfleet Mac Minis, you can build fully autonomous AI companies.

Why Paperclip + Roundfleet?

Running AI agents 24/7 requires dedicated, always-on infrastructure. Each OpenClaw agent needs its own Mac to operate autonomously. With Roundfleet's Mac Mini cloud, you can:

• Deploy agent fleets: Spin up 10, 50, or 100+ Mac Minis, each running an OpenClaw agent
• Scale your AI company: Add new "employees" by provisioning new machines in minutes
• Control costs: Set budgets per agent, per machine, with predictable monthly pricing
• Full isolation: Each agent runs on dedicated hardware with complete data separation

How It Works

# Install Paperclip
npx paperclipai onboard --yes

1. Define the goal: "Build the #1 AI note-taking app to $1M MRR"
2. Hire the team: CEO, CTO, engineers, designers, marketers — any bot, any provider
3. Approve and run: Review strategy, set budgets, hit go, monitor from dashboard

Key Features

• Bring Your Own Agent: OpenClaw, Claude, Codex, Cursor — if it can receive a heartbeat, it's hired
• Goal Alignment: Every task traces back to company mission. Agents know what to do and why
• Heartbeats: Agents wake on schedule, check work, act. Delegation flows up and down the org chart
• Cost Control: Monthly budgets per agent. When they hit the limit, they stop. No runaway costs
• Multi-Company: One deployment, many companies. Complete data isolation
• Governance: You're the board. Approve hires, override strategy, pause or terminate any agent
