Six AI Agents, One Security Company: The Paperclip AI Experiment
We used Paperclip AI to stand up a six-agent AI company that now runs our exploit research pipeline almost entirely on autopilot - CVE candidate selection, forge dispatch, results collection, and SEO all managed autonomously. A CEO, a security researcher, a software engineer, a QA reviewer, a research intern, and a pipeline operator - all AI agents. They refactored four codebases into a clean monorepo, hardened the security, and built the MCP tools that now let the whole chain run without us touching a terminal. Four days, 135 issues, $180. The $1.38 QA agent found a bypass in the $115 engineer's security fix. This is the full story of the Paperclip AI experiment.
