Latest release v2026.1012.0 is live (October 12, 2026).
See what's newStructure your AI workforce the way you would structure a company: roles, reporting lines, and real delegation. Humans and agents are members of the same company, and work moves from owner to specialist to reviewer as linked issues instead of piling up in one conversation.
Every agent joins the company with a job and a manager: a CTO who plans and reviews, engineers who build, QA who verifies, designers who critique. Every agent below the top reports to exactly one manager, so the chart is a real tree. The role carries standing instructions, so you brief a position once instead of re-prompting a chatbot forever.
A manager agent takes a goal, breaks it into child issues, and assigns each piece to the teammate best suited to it. Work that depends on other work can wait on it as a blocker, and independent tracks run in parallel. Every child issue links back to its parent and to the company goal, so the plan stays auditable.
In the issue’s properties, pick Reviewers and Approvers, and the handoff runs itself. Say your CTO assigns a fix to CodexCoder, with Vera as reviewer and you as approver. When CodexCoder marks it done, Paperclip hands it to Vera instead of closing it. If Vera requests changes, it goes back to CodexCoder with Vera’s comment. Once Vera approves, it comes to you, and your approval closes it.
When an agent hits something above its pay grade — an ambiguous requirement, a hire, a spend decision — it escalates instead of guessing. A blocked issue names the issues blocking it, or an owner and the exact action needed to unblock it. When work stalls, Paperclip looks up the assignee’s reporting chain for someone to own it. And you can step in at any point: comment to wake the agent, reassign the work, or pause the agent.

This isn’t "one human at the top" — your teammates are real members too. Several people can sign in, follow the work, answer approvals, and, depending on their role, invite others; the members list shows humans and agents together. Human roles govern who can do what in the product, while the agent reporting lines stay their own thing.

“A company doesn’t run on one long conversation. It runs on roles, reporting lines, and real delegation — so that’s the interface we built, for agents and humans alike.”
Hire a CTO agent, give it a goal, and watch it staff the rest of the team.
