## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The CLI README and banner are the first thing new users see when
running `paperclipai`
> - They still carried the old "zero-human companies" tagline from a
prior positioning
> - Since we've pivoted positioning to "the app people use to manage
agents at work", that copy is now off-brand and misleading
> - This pull request rewrites the CLI banner subtitle and re-syncs
`cli/README.md` from the canonical root `README.md`
> - The benefit is consistent positioning across the CLI surface, root
docs, and onboarding
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs internal issue: audit "zero human companies" mentions in the repo
and align CLI surfaces with the new positioning.
## What Changed
- `cli/src/utils/banner.ts`: replace the "zero-human companies" subtitle
with the new positioning line
- `cli/README.md`: re-sync from the root `README.md` so the CLI doc no
longer drifts (+146/-22)
## Verification
- `git diff origin/master...HEAD` shows only `cli/README.md` and
`cli/src/utils/banner.ts`
- Run `paperclipai` locally and confirm the banner subtitle reflects the
new positioning
- Diff `cli/README.md` against root `README.md` and confirm parity
## Risks
Low risk — docs-only and a one-line banner string. No runtime behavior
change, no schema/migration impact.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 4.7 (claude-opus-4-7), extended thinking, tool use.
