Description
Most AI agent content is hype. This isn’t.I’m Mike, host of Lone Wolf Unleashed. This week I walk you through how I implemented my first AI agent team using Paperclip — an open-source multi-agent platform — and more importantly, the methodical approach that made the result controllable rather than chaotic.The short version: I started with a target operating model in Obsidian, not with the tool. People, process, technology, on a page. I handed the architecture to Claude, spun up a “CEO agent” in Paperclip, and let it form a team — CTO, business analyst, content writer, marketing manager, clips publisher — that now runs my content pipeline from Asana through Descript, SharePoint and into Metricool.Architecture before automation. Human-in-the-loop, non-negotiable. You’re still the master of your business.Listen to hear me walk you through it.Chapters00:00 First AI agent team, implemented00:30 Why Paperclip (and going from local to cloud)01:18 Starting with a target operating model in Obsidian02:03 Handing the architecture to Claude02:22 The CEO agent spawns the team03:40 The content workflow: Asana → Descript → SharePoint → Paperclip → Metricool05:04 Matching agents to models: Opus, Sonnet, Haiku05:56 Routines instead of manual triggers06:40 What took the time (spoiler: it wasn’t the agents)07:34 Human-in-the-loop and run history09:10 You are the master of your business10:54 The 80/20 rule for phase-one buildsResources: lonewolfunleashed.com/resourcesMentioned in this episode:You might also like...Check out the "Websites Made Simple" podcast with Holly Christie at https://websitesmadesimple.co.uk/This podcast is part of the Podknows Podcasting ICN Network
