It is now possible to run a company with zero human employees using Paperclip and Claude. The setup replaces the entire workforce with AI agents that handle everything from customer support to product development.

Paperclip provides the orchestration layer that manages AI agents as autonomous workers, assigning tasks, monitoring outputs, and handling escalations. Claude acts as the core reasoning engine that powers the agents, giving them the ability to understand context, generate responses, and make decisions.

There are no salaries, no benefits, no office overhead. Just AI agents running as a fully autonomous operation. While still experimental, this model raises serious questions about the future of employment and the structure of small businesses.
