AI handles the paperwork. You handle the humans.
A management system for your AI agent. Lives in a folder on your machine. Every note, profile, and memo in plain markdown you own. A 15-minute conversation tunes it to how you actually lead.
Two minutes of what it actually does. Video coming soon.
What it actually is.
Not another SaaS. Not a hosted dashboard. A folder on your computer plus commands your AI agent runs against it. Every note, profile, and memo lives in plain markdown. Nothing leaves your machine unless you tell it to.
Connect it to the tools you already use, like Slack, Linear, your calendar, and email, and it pulls insights into structured files in the right place.
Free. You own all the data. A foundation to build on.
What it changes about your workday.
Kick off with /sod (Start of Day) and the agent surfaces what matters and what's still open.
Then go about your day. /sync pulls inputs into the right folders as you go.
Close with /eod (End of Day). Every open thread gets tagged, so a "yes I'll do that on Monday" doesn't fall on the floor by Tuesday.
Your agent does the paperwork. You connect with the people.
Then make it your own.
Small on purpose so the customization surface is huge.
Need a system health view? Tell your agent to wire the integrations and build a dashboard.
Want a research agent that drops what it finds into your library? Tell your agent.
Track app metrics in Hex? Connect it through MCP and get a fresh dashboard on whatever cadence makes sense.
Whatever you juggle as a leader, the combo of Paperwork and your agent can build the surface for it.
Questions.
Is Paperwork free?
Yes. Free and open source under the MIT license. No accounts, no subscriptions, no upsell.
Does my data leave my computer?
No. Every note, profile, and memo lives in plain markdown in a folder you own. Nothing syncs to a server. The only data that leaves is what your AI agent sends to its own provider when you run a command.
Which AI agents does Paperwork work with?
Any agent that can read and write files in a local directory and run commands against them. That includes Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and similar tools. If your agent can edit a folder, it can run Paperwork.
How is Paperwork different from Notion, Reflect, or Mem?
Those are hosted apps with their own UI and database. Paperwork is the opposite: a folder of markdown files on your machine, driven entirely by your AI agent. No dashboard to log into, no vendor to trust with your notes, no lock-in.
What does the 15-minute setup actually do?
Your agent asks how you run your team. Cadences, rituals, what you track about your people, what falls through the cracks. It writes that into the system so the daily commands (/sod, /sync, /eod) reflect your style instead of a generic template.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. If you can install an AI agent like Claude Code or Cursor and run a setup command, you can run Paperwork. Customization beyond the defaults is just describing what you want to your agent.
What integrations does it support?
Anything your AI agent can reach: Slack, Linear, your calendar, email, Hex, GitHub, and any tool with an MCP server. Paperwork doesn't ship integrations; your agent brings them.
