The Dashboard

The Dashboard

The dashboard is your control centre. When your AI company is running, this is the page you'll return to most — it tells you, at a glance, whether everything is moving forward or whether something needs your attention.

Think of it like the cockpit instruments on a plane. You don't need to read every dial every second, but you do want a clear signal when something is off. The dashboard gives you that signal.

Agents Section

At the top of the dashboard, Paperclip shows your live agent activity and a set of overview cards. This is the quickest way to tell whether work is moving.

Here's what each state means:

| State | What it means | |-------|---------------| | Active | The agent is enabled and ready to work. Idle agents are counted here. | | Running | The agent is currently in the middle of a heartbeat — it's working right now. | | Error | The agent's last heartbeat failed. It is not working and hasn't stopped gracefully. | | Paused | The agent has been deliberately stopped — either by you, or automatically because it hit its budget limit. |
