Paperclip AI: The Local AI That Automates Everything (Installation + Complete Guide)?

Hello everyone. So in this video, we're going to talk about Paperclip, which is an open-source orchestration tool. Quite

simply, it allows me to create agents and simply delegate all the company's tasks to these agents. That's it. Now,

you might be wondering, why not just continue with OpenCloud? Well, quite

simply, OpenCloud, yes, it lets me create agents, but it's very heavy in terms of token consumption. And on top of that, if I have agents, I can't get a real overview of those agents. and even

creating agents is a bit difficult.

Today, PayPal Clip is getting a bit of the conversation on all social networks.

Today, it has 33,000 stars on GitHub.

It's impressive. Why? Because it was simply able to bring together all the other tools like OpenCloud Cloud. And

thanks to this system, I can manage all my agents inside it. I'll show you a quick preview.

This is my paperclipip interface. We're

going to install it together. I'll show

you how I managed to create these agents. And you'll see with a simple

agents. And you'll see with a simple action, I can get a direct overview of all the agents that are running and working for me. The SEO, that's me. So,

every time I launch the system, it will perform the tasks. And as you can see here, it actually doesn't consume any tokens. And that's what's really, really

tokens. And that's what's really, really powerful. Why? Because I simply connect

powerful. Why? Because I simply connect it with my cloud subscription. So, as a result, it has the power of cloud code.

It also actually uses what we call cloud co-work everything related to task creation and automation but here with a very advanced interface and of course it

allows you to manage these agents. It's

not like co-work which gets a bit complicated when you have a large number of agents but here actually you can manage them from a single interface and in a very very simple way. For example,

here every time it needs to recruit an agent, that's what we actually call recruiting. The agent will ask me, and

recruiting. The agent will ask me, and if I say, okay, I want you to recruit this agent. And as you can see, it just

this agent. And as you can see, it just created an agent, LinkedIn content creator. This one will actually create

creator. This one will actually create all my posts on LinkedIn. It's

specialized for that specific task. A

very simple example here, I created an agent and asked it to write for me, a workflow automation agent on N8N. And

this agent can automatically access my N8N and actually create those agents and connect them in an automated way without me having to intervene in the system at all. And that's really, really, really

all. And that's really, really, really powerful. So, I'm going to show you how

powerful. So, I'm going to show you how to install Paperclip in this video and especially how to connect it with cloud.

I'm going to give you the steps one by one and you'll see it's a a very very powerful interface. Each

time I can request a task, I just have to click here. I tell it, okay, you're going to do this task. I can assign it to a project and I just need to write a simple print here to tell it what I want

it to do and the system will create it for me automatically. It's a very simple, very powerful interface. Behind

it, there are agents. There's the cloud LLM technology, and it's a system I can control without it consuming tokens. So

it will only use my cloud subscription and that's what suits me best with paperclip.

So first of all of course I will need to install paperclipip. So installing

install paperclipip. So installing paperclip you know it's open source so I can simply install it on my machine. But

be careful paperclip inside actually there are agents. You should never install agents on your own machines.

Why? Because they could have access to your photos and videos. So, as a result, with the slightest external print injection, all your data, documents, and

passwords could simply be accessed. For

me, security always comes first. So, I

install Paperclip outside of my own machine. That means on a secure VPS, so

machine. That means on a secure VPS, so I use Hostinger for that. Quite simply,

here for just a few, I can have a server with the complete installation of Paperclip, including updates and security. I'll leave the link in the

security. I'll leave the link in the description for you. Here they actually offer you several types of servers. You

choose the one that interests you. So

this one, for example, has a single processor. I often use the KVM2 with two

processor. I often use the KVM2 with two processors and 2 GB of RAM. This one is very fast. It doesn't lag. So as soon as

very fast. It doesn't lag. So as soon as I actually launch the prompt, the execution is super super fast. I

recommend it for businesses and especially freelancers who want to test it out. So I just click on deploy.

it out. So I just click on deploy.

You'll see that it will automatically create a complete system for me with paperclipip installed. Now, here's a

paperclipip installed. Now, here's a little tip I'd like to share with you.

You can simply log out of your account if you already have an account with Single and then you can create another account. Why? Because here you can

account. Why? Because here you can actually use a new coupon. So, I'll give you the coupon. It's a coupon that was shared on the Hostinger blog. I'm taking

the coupon. I hope it's still valid.

It's a coupon that will give me a discount for everyone who is creating their first instance on Hostinger.

That's why I logged out earlier. So now

I click on apply and there you go. Now it's actually going to give me a discount. So quite

simply that's it. I don't touch anything. I'll simply have right here.

anything. I'll simply have right here.

So paper clips installed on my system. I

just click on continue. Next. So PayPal

which switches asks us a question. It

will actually ask us for an email address. It's very important to enter

address. It's very important to enter your email address so you can log in later. And here it's actually a password

later. And here it's actually a password that you can change. So these are two important pieces of information you need in order to complete the installation.

Now it's true that here if you look the system might ask you actually here about adding APIs like those from cloud openai Gemini. Well there's no need. It's

Gemini. Well there's no need. It's

possible to enter your key but it will use it up. You'll need to buy a lot of tokens to keep the system running. But

I'll show you at the end of the installation that we don't actually need our cloud API. I can add it later if I want, but it would be better or ideally to connect my cloud subscription

directly with Paperclip. That's what

we're going to try to see now. So, you

just needed to enter your email address and set a password, which you should save in a safe place. And there you go.

That's it. The installation will now start. It can take up to 10 minutes. You

start. It can take up to 10 minutes. You

just need to be a little patient and wait for the installation to finish.

So, now we've just installed Paperclip.

All you need to do is simply click here on open and enter your login password to get direct access to the paperclip interface.

There you go. So now we're going to enter the name of our company. So here

we can call it Dr. Firas agency and we can simply add a short description of our company. What is the main objective for me is creating workflows, automation and videos. I

click on next and you'll see that now it will prompt me to create the first agent. So here we see that the agent is

agent. So here we see that the agent is a CEO and by default of course it asks me which type of model I want to use. I can

tell it okay I want you to work on sonnet 4.6 and here you'll see that the system it can ask me if I actually want to test whether the cloud is connected or not

and that's completely normal. When I

click here it will give me a warning message saying it can't find the API which is perfectly normal. Watch when I click thank you. It won't find the API.

It tells me that the cloud API is not installed. And that's completely normal.

installed. And that's completely normal.

So for me here, we're just going to ignore this message and simply install cloud so that the system will detect it my subscription. And that's why we're

my subscription. And that's why we're going to go straight to the terminal to carry out the necessary commands for this installation.

So to do the installation, you obviously have this documentation which you will find in the description. So it's a documentation that shows all the steps of course to follow in order to install

the cloud with our paperclip. So first

what I recommend is to import it this documentation onto cloud or chatgpt whenever you want and then ask it to follow this documentation and guide you step by step. You'll see that it will go

very very quickly and it will save you from if you're not too comfortable with the technical side of following and copyping these instructions. Thank you.

It's the system that will give you the instructions. So, I'm coming back here

instructions. So, I'm coming back here to Hostinger where my VPS is. You'll see

that here the terminal will simply give me access to my server in SSH mode. That

means I can type in these codes here.

And within these codes, we're going to install and connect my cloud subscription with Paperclip. You'll see

that it's easy to do. First thing, it asks to check the node version. You'll

see that I don't have node installed.

That's completely normal when doing the initial installation. So every time I

initial installation. So every time I get a response from the commands, I'll copy it and paste it here and it will actually follow this documentation.

You'll see there you go to actually give me the node installation after installing cloud. So all these steps, it

installing cloud. So all these steps, it will repeat them here. That's very

interesting. Actually, this will help me go really really fast. So we're going to copy this and do exactly what it asks me to do. Every time I do an installation,

to do. Every time I do an installation, if it finishes correctly, I come back here and tell it there you go. We've

finished. Next step. Okay. So here I tell it it's good. I tell it next step.

If ever in fact this installation finishes here, well, it takes a little while because it's actually installing the system.

So as a result, we tell it next step.

So now it's going to go through this documentation and actually give me all the steps. So now it's on this campaign

the steps. So now it's on this campaign so that it can actually detect the installed version. So there you go.

installed version. So there you go.

Everything has been installed correctly.

Same thing. So I come back here and tell it next.

And there you go. So it's now carrying out the installations. And now it wants to check whether the installation was completed successfully or not. So we'll

do it like this. And there you go. So I

have the node that was installed. That's

it. Actually these are important packages in order to be able to there you go to do the other installations like actually installing the cloud. So

as a result I think it's going to use this command here to install cloud and there you go. So I copy this here. Same

thing. I come and paste it. So you have the option to either follow my documentation by copying the different lines or to go directly with this system to go faster. So as soon as I simply get

a response, I copy it and put it here.

It will then understand that we've completed this step. So it can move on to the next one. So now I think it's going to ask me to verify Claude. So

Claude has actually been installed on my VPS. There you go with version 2.1.84.

VPS. There you go with version 2.1.84.

That's very good. So now normally we're going to get the paperclipip docker because paperclip in fact when you see it on hostinger it's installed in what's called a docker container. Look here

when I actually go into my server I find docker it's installed and so is it. It

needs to detect this container in order to identify the exact container name because each installation has a different name.

So as a result here it's asking me to connect here I see that it's directly asking me to do the step step seven. Now I'm going to ask it

because I see that it skipped a step. Do

we go in first in the guide when you look here there's a step to enter the container.

So here basically I'm asking why it actually skipped that step.

So we're going to refer back to the documentation because it's very important to follow it. Yes, absolutely.

He told me he forgot it happened. So

it's not a problem. We're going to try to follow along actually. So the steps.

So here it's actually going to capture the name of the Docker we're using. So,

we're going to copy all of this here for it. And it's supposed to output the

it. And it's supposed to output the exact name. Normally, the name should

exact name. Normally, the name should appear here. So, I'm actually giving it

appear here. So, I'm actually giving it all the information.

And now, there you go. It actually gave me the answer. It detected the name, which is this one. That's good. So, now

here we're going to enter this container. Quite simply, we're going to

container. Quite simply, we're going to go inside. So, now we're inside. There

go inside. So, now we're inside. There

you go. And now we're going to tell it that we're inside. You just had to copy this.

And now we can move on to establishing the secure connection, the user authentication and login process, which will be handled specifically at this step.

Now we're going to connect. This is very important. Watch how we're going to do

important. Watch how we're going to do it. When we do this, they can't open the

it. When we do this, they can't open the browser, but it tells me. So it's actually going to give me steps to follow. So as a result, we're going to follow these

steps. one by one. So first step it

steps. one by one. So first step it tells me choose the display mode. I tell

it we'll stay on the mode so dark. So

quite simply here we press enter.

Then it says I actually want to use my cloud account. So these are the cloud

cloud account. So these are the cloud subscriptions. Look here I'm on cloud.

subscriptions. Look here I'm on cloud.

I'm on this subscription. So either

you're on max or you're on pro. So it

doesn't matter the type of subscription.

So here we're going to press enter because we're going to select actually these steps are in the documentation. So

VU can open the browser. It tells me to copy all of this and that I just needed to open it. In fact, here's the page that contains this login. So this whole

line is here. So this whole URL, let me show you. I just opened it here in a

show you. I just opened it here in a browser. And now it's simple. It asks

browser. And now it's simple. It asks

for my authorization. So it can actually connect to my cloud account in order to use the information, the codes, cloud codes, connections, uploads, all the

information. You just need to click on

information. You just need to click on authorize. And now I have a little code

authorize. And now I have a little code that I'm simply going to copy here. And

then we'll simply need to paste it here.

There you go. So now when I paste it, of course, I press enter.

And so now the connection has been successfully completed. I can press

successfully completed. I can press enter. There you go. So now I'm going to

enter. There you go. So now I'm going to of course accept the security conditions.

I'm also going to grant access to this folder. So now there you go. The

folder. So now there you go. The

connection the connection has just been established securely and I can simply use the cloud with my subscription directly on the pay projective system.

So now it's asking me to create this shortcut which is cloud. So just log in.

I'm going to copy this specific text right here and I proceed to simply type out cloud login in this field and hit the enter key on my keyboard. So now the system is automatically being

configured. I I can simply

configured. I I can simply you can simply navigate back to the installation in order to effectively continue utilizing the cloud services.

By the way here we're going to press control that's to exit. So now I've gone back on the container.

We'll type cloud login directly and there you go. So now I am simply well connected. So if I go back to my

well connected. So if I go back to my installation, we can continue the installation with paperclipip with cloud installed.

So here I come back, I simply click next and now it tells me for the creation of the first task we actually asked it to create what is called the core, the

heartbeat for the CEO. So it's actually a file that will be used. In fact, it's to check whether the co is executing the tasks we've asked of it. It's a

heartbeat which is a very important file. And here I'm going to click create

file. And here I'm going to click create and open. So now you'll see that the

and open. So now you'll see that the system detects my connection with the cloud. And now it actually launches the

cloud. And now it actually launches the first task. If I click here, you'll see

first task. If I click here, you'll see that it's in execution mode. So the

system is currently executing this task of creating the heartbeat, the heartbeat and the system. Now it's ready. It won't

actually consume any external tokens. It

will work exclusively with my cloud subscription. And so there you go.

subscription. And so there you go.

That's it.

As we can see here, it's running. It's

creating the files within the organization. So I only have the CIO.

organization. So I only have the CIO.

And here I have a VPS server that's actually ready to start to execute the tasks and all the missions. And the

workflow I'm going to ask it to do. If I

look here, the creation of the heartbeats has been completed. So the

status is finished. I can already scroll down a bit to see exactly what it did during the creation.

And you'll see that what interests me the most. In fact, if I look here, I see

the most. In fact, if I look here, I see that it also created another agent because it thought this agent was necessary because according to the description and the objective I gave it,

it understood a bit how the company is actually going to develop. So it

understood that I'm in the business of creating videos. So, it's as if here

creating videos. So, it's as if here it's actually making planning suggestions for this company. Now, if I click in the organization, there you go.

I'll find the second agent that has just been created. So, for me, I can add and

been created. So, for me, I can add and create new agents. So, if I go back to another company that I created, this is another company where I actually liked several people. You'll see that the

several people. You'll see that the option to add an agent is very simple. I

can either add one manually here. As you

can see when I click there I will simply give it other specific criteria related to the creation of the agent or I can simply ask the main agent who is the CEO to create it for me actually the

different descriptions of the agent I want to create. You'll see that it's very very easy to do here I can simply choose the LLM model I want to use for example here I'm going to tell it that

you're working on cloud set 4.6 Six. For

example, here will it add the thinking effort. That means the level of in-depth

effort. That means the level of in-depth research progression. I can set it to

research progression. I can set it to default or to high. If I set it to high, it will take much more time, but the result will be much higher quality. And

here I will enter the full description of the agent I want to create. And

that's what makes this system so powerful today. It creates the agent

powerful today. It creates the agent itself. And each agent can in turn

itself. And each agent can in turn create sub agents. And later on when I create a new task, the system can simply find the specific agent itself to

execute the task I want. Let's try

together to add a new agent.

We're going to give this agent a name.

What should we call it? Blog SEO writer.

It's an agent that will be specialized in creating blog articles.

And here I have a description where I give it some basic instructions. So here

I'm going to enter the basic instructions that it will simply execute. There you go. I'll actually put

execute. There you go. I'll actually put this kind of description. So, as soon as I actually start creating the agent, the system will immediately get to work to

create this agent. Of course, it's the SEO that will carry out this task and provide it to me. In fact, an agent ready to create articles for me. And

here we go. We're launching the new creation. So now the SEO actually right

creation. So now the SEO actually right here it's in the process of creating recruiting we call it that actually the new agent is the one handling the

creation. So if we look here he's doing

creation. So if we look here he's doing the creation. So I can already come here

the creation. So I can already come here and actually see his task and he'll tell me exactly how long it's going to take.

And here it's a task in to-do mode. So

it's currently being created. So here

it's giving a recap of all the code that's actually going to do it. So now

we just have to wait for it to finish creating and we'll see the agent appear here directly as well as in our organization. So the task has just been

organization. So the task has just been completed and there you go. I can see here in the log that it has just created this agent. Of course I can add more

this agent. Of course I can add more instructions here in the configuration for the agent so that it can perform the tasks exactly as I want. But everything

you're seeing here was set up with SEO in mind. So this agent here is ready to

in mind. So this agent here is ready to execute. So now the entire organization

execute. So now the entire organization looks like this.

Each of these agents has a specific task. You just need to send the command

task. You just need to send the command to the SEO here. When I come here, I can click here to give the command. And it's

the SEO that will execute the command by requesting it from the relevant agent.

And so, as a result, the system will respond to me. It's as if I simply sent the request to the SEO and it's the one that will find the right agent and get back to me the correct
