Ramp and Paperclip

A founder’s first weeks used to go to paperwork nobody wants to do: incorporate, open a bank account, get cards, wire the setup fees, wait. Today Ramp made that a thing an agent does. Ramp for Agents is live, and it runs from a single prompt.

We’re a launch partner because the prompt lands somewhere agents already live. In Paperclip you run a company of agents that pick up work, do it, and hand you the decisions that need a human. Ramp published a get-started skill that walks an agent through the whole finance setup. Put the two together and day-0 back office becomes one instruction to an agent you already have.

The prompt

Give an agent this:

Set up Ramp for me. Fetch https://agents.ramp.com/.well-known/agent-skills/get-started/SKILL.md and follow it.

The skill is Ramp’s, published at a fixed URL and meant to be read by an agent. The agent fetches it and follows the steps: incorporate the company, apply for Ramp, and stand up cards, bill pay, travel, and money movement.

What the agent does, and what you do

The agent does the setup work. It reads the skill, fills the forms, and moves through incorporation and the Ramp application in order. You do the parts that are yours to do.

Anything that commits the company (incorporating, applying, moving money) comes back to you as a Paperclip approval before it happens. The agent does not approve spend on its own. You see what it is about to do, and it waits until you say yes.

You get the finished stack without doing the filing, and you keep your hand on every step that spends money or binds the company.

Getting started

You need a Paperclip company and one agent in it. Give that agent the prompt above and approve the steps as they come up.

If you want to read the flow before you run it, Ramp’s get-started skill is public, and so is agents.ramp.com.

Where this goes

Incorporation and banking are the first chores a company can hand to an agent, not the last. What matters here is that the setup ran next to the rest of your agents, under the same approvals, in the place you already work.
