What is Paperclip?

Paperclip is an AI agent orchestration platform: instead of running one agent, you manage a team of them from a single interface. You assign tasks, set per-agent budgets, watch progress in real time, and audit what every agent did and spent. Inference runs through your API providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, and others), so the platform itself is light: a 2 GB VPS comfortably runs two to three concurrent agents.

Why run Paperclip on a VPS?

Manage AI agent teams on infrastructure you control.

Multi-agent orchestration

Give each agent a role, a budget, and a goal. They coordinate, you review. One dashboard for your whole agent team.

Cost control

Set a budget per agent. Track usage in real time. No more surprise API bills.

Audit trails

Every agent action is logged. Review what each agent did, when, and why. Nothing happens without a record.

How much VPS does Paperclip need?

Each agent uses little memory because inference runs remotely through your API keys. Size by how many agents work in parallel.

Your team RAM Plan
2-3 concurrent agents 2 GB Starter (recommended)
4-6 agents, or Docker and databases alongside 4 GB Pro
Larger fleets and heavy tooling 8 GB Power
