Create Your First Company
A Company in Paperclip is the container for everything: your goal, your team of agents, all the tasks they work through, and the budget that keeps spending under control. Before any agents can do anything, they need a company to work inside.
Think of it like setting up a new startup. You open a workspace, write down what you're trying to build, decide how much runway you're working with, and then you can start hiring. Creating a company in Paperclip is that first step.
This guide walks you through creating a company from scratch. The whole process takes about three minutes.

Click "New Company"
When you first open Paperclip, you'll be taken into onboarding or see a start screen with a New Company button. Click that to begin.
