Paperclip just dropped a pretty big update, and it’s starting to feel much more than just a simple AI orchestration system.

🚀 Key Highlights

👥 Multi-user support

You can now invite multiple users to your instance — a big step toward team-based workflows.

⚙️ Smarter execution & recovery

Improved liveness + lifecycle handling means agents keep trying longer before escalating to you.

✅ Sub-issue checklists

Better ordering and structure → more viable for long-running, complex task planning.

🧵 Threaded UX upgrades

Agents can now:

- Ask questions

- Request approvals

- Suggest tasks

All directly inside task threads (you can approve/refine inline).

☁️ Sandbox Providers (Beta)

Cloud sandboxing API is now live — more providers coming soon.

🛣️ What’s Coming Next

Longer-range planning & execution (agents that actually finish things)

Secrets Service v2 (foundation for cloud)

Artifacts, memory & knowledge systems

“Conference Room” → CEO ↔ Agent interaction layer

🧠 Dev Notes / Focus Areas

Documentation still catching up (community helping here)

Paperclip Cloud → major unlock, but still open questions:

Where does work run?

Where do outputs live?

How are results surfaced?

Internal benchmarking (Paperclip Bench) to track real progress

Connections Store (GitHub, Slack, Docs, etc.) in progress

💭 TL;DR

Paperclip is positioning itself as an AI orchestrator for managing teams of agents, and this release pushes it closer to that vision.

Feels like we’re moving toward a world where everyone manages dozens (or hundreds) of agents — and tools like this become the control layer.
