Board Approvals in PaperclipAI: How You Stay in Control of Your AI Org

In PaperclipAI, you're the board of directors. The approval system ensures that the two most consequential decisions — who gets hired and what strategy to follow — require your explicit sign-off.

What requires board approval

The approval workflow

Every approval has three possible paths from the Pending state: you approve it (work proceeds), you reject it (request denied), or you request a revision (agent modifies and resubmits). The revision loop lets you shape proposals without outright rejecting them — e.g., 'approve the hire but reduce the budget' or 'adjust the strategy to focus on X instead of Y.'

Board operator superpowers

Beyond approvals, you have override capabilities: pause/resume any agent, terminate agents, reassign tasks, override budgets, and create agents directly without going through the approval flow. You're not just reviewing proposals — you have full operational control.
