CLEO is a multi-agent AI operating system that functions as your CTO, COO, and Head of Engineering — operating at machine consistency and speed, 24 / 7.
CLEO is not a single AI. It's a coordinated stack — a human-facing chat layer, a governance engine, and a fleet of specialist workers.
Your natural-language interface. Talk to CLEO on Telegram, Slack, Discord, or WhatsApp. Say what you need in plain English — CLEO understands intent, maintains context, and translates your request into structured work.
Paperclip — the task governance and routing engine. Handles task routing, approval workflows, heartbeat scheduling, audit trails, budget controls, and cross-agent coordination. The backbone that makes CLEO governable at scale.
Specialist agents that own business functions — coding, analytics, ops, and domain-specific tasks. Each has its own memory and tools; all share the same company brain and Paperclip governance.
Plain language on any connected channel. No ticket system, no configuration — just talk.
Darla/Hermes classifies the request, determines the right specialist, and creates a structured task in Paperclip.
The task enters the queue. On the next heartbeat — seconds to minutes — the right specialist agent wakes, checks out the task, and begins.
The specialist triggers the deployment, monitors the pipeline, runs the suite, and records results — all within bounded autonomy.
Natural language. On your channel. No dashboards to check.
Every action is classified into one of three zones. Zone definitions are configured per deployment and cannot be overridden at runtime.
Predictable, repetitive, mission-critical — these are exactly the tasks CLEO was built for.
Trigger deployments, monitor pipelines, run test suites, report results — without anyone watching the terminal.
Monitors dashboards (PostHog, Grafana), detects anomalies, generates insight reports, and surfaces what matters.
Reads, writes, and ships code. Reviews PRs, executes technical specs, runs quality gates.
Pulls status from every system and delivers clean summaries. No more chasing Slack threads for context.
Monitors infrastructure health, restarts services in the green zone, escalates amber/red issues with full context.
Recruitment pipelines, financial reporting, client comms — configure domain agents for your specific business functions.
