7 specialized AI agents. One orchestration platform. Computer use built in.

Quickstart · Website · GitHub

Open-source orchestration platform that coordinates AI agent teams. Forked from Paperclip (MIT), rebuilt for enterprise AI operations.

ELAV is a Node.js server and React UI that orchestrates a team of AI agents to run a business. Bring your own agents, assign goals, and track your agents' work and costs from one dashboard.

It looks like a task manager — but under the hood it has org charts, budgets, governance, goal alignment, and agent coordination.

Manage business goals, not pull requests.

Works with

OpenClaw

Claude Code

Codex

Cursor

Bash

HTTP

• You want to build autonomous AI companies
• You coordinate many different agents (OpenClaw, Codex, Claude, Cursor) toward a common goal
• You have 20 simultaneous Claude Code terminals open and lose track of what everyone is doing
• You want agents running autonomously 24/7, but still want to audit work and chime in when needed
• You want to monitor costs and enforce budgets
• You want a process for managing agents that feels like using a task manager
• You want to manage your autonomous businesses from your phone

Open source. Self-hosted. No account required.

npx paperclipai onboard --yes

Or manually:

git clone https://github.com/Fato07/elav.git
cd elav
pnpm install
pnpm dev

This starts the API server at http://localhost:3100. An embedded PostgreSQL database is created automatically — no setup required.

Requirements: Node.js 20+, pnpm 9.15+

What does a typical setup look like? Locally, a single Node.js process manages an embedded Postgres and local file storage. For production, point it at your own Postgres and deploy however you like. Configure projects, agents, and goals — the agents take care of the rest.

Can I run multiple companies? Yes. A single deployment can run an unlimited number of companies with complete data isolation.

How is ELAV different from agents like OpenClaw or Claude Code? ELAV uses those agents. It orchestrates them into a company — with org charts, budgets, goals, governance, and accountability.

Do agents run continuously? By default, agents run on scheduled heartbeats and event-based triggers (task assignment, @-mentions). You can also hook in continuous agents like OpenClaw. You bring your agent and ELAV coordinates.
