An autonomous incorporation agent, delivered as a Claude Code plugin, that forms a Delaware C-Corp end-to-end — guided application, generated legal documents, cofounder e-signature, and a human-reviewed Delaware filing.

Can an AI agent incorporate my company?

Yes — that is what Corply is for. Your agent runs the application, documents, and cofounder e-signatures end-to-end; the legally binding acts stay human, and every Delaware submission is human-reviewed. Works from Claude Code (plugin) or any MCP-capable agent.

Is Corply a Stripe Atlas or Clerky alternative?

Yes — the same outcome, a venture-ready Delaware C-Corp with EIN, founder stock, and an 83(b) workflow, but driven from Claude Code instead of a web portal, with a flat fee and no hourly attorneys.

In Claude Code, run: claude plugin marketplace add corply-dev/corply-plugin, then claude plugin install corply. Run /incorporate and sign in once with Google on the first tool call.

Do all cofounders need to sign?

Yes. Each cofounder reviews the PDFs via a magic link and signs from their own Claude Code under a binding ESIGN/UETA audit trail.

Does Corply file with Delaware automatically?

No. Every Delaware submission is reviewed by a human before it is filed.

Is Corply a law firm?

No. Corply prepares documents and filings and does not provide legal advice. It is operated by 0Lumen Labs Corp.

First-time founders, international and non-U.S. cofounder teams incorporating a U.S. startup, and technical founders who prefer one command over web portals.

Is Corply a Firstbase alternative?

For forming a venture-ready Delaware C-Corp, yes. Firstbase is a broader platform — formation plus mailroom, registered agent, bookkeeping, and tax add-ons. Corply focuses on the formation itself: an agent-driven application, generated legal documents, binding cofounder e-signatures, and a human-reviewed Delaware filing, all from Claude Code.

Which is better for international founders?

Both handle the EIN path for founders without an SSN. Firstbase additionally sells a US business address and mailroom, which many non-US founders need — that logistics layer is a genuine Firstbase strength. Corply covers international founders through the formation and EIN flow but does not provide address or mail services.

What do Firstbase reviews say?

Public review sites show a mix: many smooth formations, and a recurring set of reviews reporting processing delays and slow support responses. Read current reviews on independent sites before deciding, and verify pricing and inclusions at firstbase.io.

It depends on what you buy. Firstbase publishes a $399 one-time formation fee, with ongoing services sold as subscriptions (as published, mid-2026 — verify on their site). Corply charges a flat fee with no hourly billing; see corply.dev for current pricing.

The honest verdict

Firstbase's real strength is breadth for international founders: formation, EIN without an SSN, a US business address, mailroom, registered agent, and bookkeeping under one roof. If you're outside the US and need that logistics layer, it solves problems Corply doesn't try to. Be aware that public reviews report mixed experiences — some smooth and fast, others citing processing delays and slow support — so read current reviews before committing.

Choose Corply if the formation itself is what you want done well, and your workflow is the terminal: the agent asks, explains the standard choices, generates the documents, chases every cofounder's signature, and a human reviews the filing before it goes to Delaware.
