I hate to be that guy, but Paperclip (and a bunch of these “agent frameworks” where you orchestrate an autonomous swarm of 500 agents) mostly doesn’t do anything. It looks futuristic, it screenshots well, and it farms engagement on X/LinkedIn/YouTube—but in practice it’s setup porn. I walk through a few viral examples and my core question is always the same: what did you actually ship this week? What did you build that a customer can see, touch, and pay for? Most of what people brag about is just project management… for agents… that are doing project management… for other tools. Turning an SEO audit into “agent tasks” isn’t value. Researching “community platforms” isn’t value. Improving the dashboard for the tool you’re using to improve the dashboard is motion, not movement. Clients don’t care how you got it done—they care that it gets done. My bigger take: tools are tools. You use the tool; you don’t let the tool use you. If you want to make money with AI automation, the bottleneck is usually you—your judgment, your taste, your ability to execute—not your lack of a 12-layer agent org chart. Agent frameworks might get good eventually, but this current “AI company organized like a human company” hype cycle is fundamentally misaligned with how AI is actually strong (spiky, parallel, tightly-scoped) and how humans are strong (long-term reliability, feedback, zero-shot adaptation).
