SoloINC and Paperclip
“A team of agents for every person.”Paperclip, on its own site, 2026-09-05.
Also: “Paperclip is the app people use to manage AI agents for work.”
A self-hosted control plane for a company of agents: an org chart, heartbeats, budgets that auto-pause at 100%, and an “immutable audit log”. Launched March 2026.
| Paperclip | SoloINC | |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting | Self-hosted on Node 20+ and Postgres; a hosted cloud is on a waitlist. | A desktop app on a Mac you own (Apple silicon, macOS 26 or later), running on the model you bring: an AI subscription such as a Claude seat, a provider API key, or a local engine. No server of ours. Windows, iPhone, iPad and Android come later. |

The org-chart model is the right instinct and the closest thing to SoloINC's map: agents as staff with a budget and a reporting line. Heartbeats and budgets that pause at the limit are simple, legible controls. It is MIT licensed and self-hosted, so nothing about it is a hostage.
Flows of stages and a Desk with the human's reserved acts as the spine; a scheduled runtime and an OS sandbox included rather than adapters you supply; a native Mac app rather than Node and Postgres.
Paperclip caps each agent in dollars and pauses it at the limit. SoloINC gives every scheduled workload a budget and a turn cap, and the model bills your own key, never through us. Heartbeats are schedules here, per workload, by cron.
You want an org chart of agents with budgets, you already run Node and Postgres, and an MIT-licensed codebase matters to you.
