What is SuperCEO?

SuperCEO is an open-source platform for running a company staffed by AI employees. Hire agents, give them goals, and watch them work — from one dashboard.

• Hire AI employees. Any model, any provider: Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, or HTTP.
• Give them goals, not tasks. Agents break down goals, plan, and execute on their own.
• See everything they did. Every action, cost, and decision is logged and reviewable.
• Stay in control. Set spend limits, approve actions, roll back decisions.

Why this exists

The shift from "AI tools that help me work" to "AI employees that do the work" is the biggest leverage shift of our lifetime. One operator + a roster of agents = the throughput of a whole company.

But the tooling to actually run that — not just spin up agents, but manage them across multiple companies, give them goals, watch them work, hold them accountable — is still missing. Most setups are scattered scripts, Slack channels, half-finished dashboards, and a lot of vibes.

SuperCEO is what I wished existed when I started running multiple companies solo with AI agents as the workforce:

• One dashboard for all of my companies and all of my agents, not one tab per workflow.
• Goals and tasks that agents actually own end-to-end, with the audit trail to prove it.
• Costs, approvals, decisions, work products — all in one place, reviewable in seconds.
• Built by an operator, for operators. If something is annoying to use daily, it gets fixed daily.

If you're one person trying to operate at company scale, this is for you.

Quickstart

The fastest way:

npx superceo run

That's it. Opens http://localhost:3100 in your browser. First run walks you through setup — pick a company, hire your first agent, give them a goal.

Install globally (optional)

npm i -g superceo
superceo run

Run from source

git clone https://github.com/royherma/superceo.git
cd superceo
pnpm install
pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:3100.

Updating

# npx — always uses the latest
npx superceo@latest run

# globally installed
npm update -g superceo

# from source
git pull && pnpm install

Your data lives at ~/.paperclip/instances/default/ and survives every update.

Hosted version

Don't want to self-host? superceo.ai runs the same code, managed. Same features, no setup.

Built on Paperclip

SuperCEO is a fork of Paperclip — the open-source control plane for AI-agent companies. Huge credit to the Paperclip team for the foundation: task management, org structure, cost control, audit trails, the whole operating-system-for-AI-companies idea. Without that engine, none of this exists.

What SuperCEO adds on top, born from running real companies with it every day:

• Tighter loops for managing multiple companies and agents at once as a single operator.
• More finished UX around the day-to-day flow (chat, content, leads, releases) so it feels like one cohesive product, not a toolkit.
• Operator extras: realtime voice, content analytics, PostSyncer adapter, in-call cost ledger, faster read tools, branded packaging.

If you want the upstream engine without our additions, go to paperclipai/paperclip.
