Setting Up Your First AI Agent Agency with Paperclip

First Instruction for the CEO

Initial Steps to Set Up an AI Company

1. Open the Paperclip app (the locally installed version is recommended).
2. Enter your company or app name in the 'What do we want to name our app?' field.
3. Provide a detailed description of the company's goals in the 'What is this company trying to achieve?' text box.
4. Select an AI model for your CEO agent (First Agent). Choose a 'Frontier Model' (such as Claude) for the CEO to ensure the highest quality results.
5. If you want to use a different model, select 'Open Code' to access the list of models from Open Router.
6. Click the 'Next' button to proceed to the planning phase.

Appointing the First Agent and Giving Instructions

1. Give initial instructions to the CEO in the task field (e.g., 'Hire your first engineer and create a hiring plan').
2. Click the 'Next' button to launch the company dashboard.
3. Check the sidebar on the left to see your active companies; select the newly created company project (e.g., 'Moola').
4. Monitor the 'Dashboard' to view the project status and the 'Monthly Spend' budget usage for AI tokens.
5. Open the 'Inbox' when a request notification appears from the CEO.
6. Click on the CEO's request (e.g., 'Hire Agent') to review the task list planned by the CEO for the new agent.
7. Confirm the agent's appointment by approving the 'Request' so the worker agent (such as an Engineer) can begin their tasks.
