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.

What is the best Stripe Atlas alternative?

It depends on your workflow. Clerky if your lawyer runs the process and wants the canonical paperwork; Firstbase or doola if you're an international founder who needs a US address or bundled compliance; every.io if you want free formation and plan to adopt its finance stack; Corply if you live in Claude Code and want an agent to drive the application, documents, cofounder e-signatures, and a human-reviewed Delaware filing.

Why look beyond Stripe Atlas at all?

Stripe Atlas is excellent — polished, proven, and well integrated with Stripe. Founders shop alternatives for specific reasons: attorney-drafted post-formation paperwork (Clerky), non-US founder logistics like a US address and mailroom (Firstbase, doola), a free formation bundled with banking and payroll (every.io), or an agent-first flow instead of a web portal (Corply).

Do all of these form Delaware C-Corps?

Yes — every product on this list can form a Delaware C-Corp. Firstbase and doola also form LLCs in other states; Stripe Atlas offers a Delaware LLC too. Clerky and Corply are Delaware C-Corp specialists, and every.io centers on Delaware C-Corps as the front door to its finance platform.

Are any of these law firms?

No. All of them, including Corply, are software products, not law firms, and none gives legal advice. They generate standard documents for standard situations; anything specific to your circumstances belongs with a licensed attorney. Corply additionally human-reviews every Delaware submission before it is filed.

Clerky — the paperwork standard

Clerky is the Delaware C-Corp specialist venture lawyers know best: attorney-drafted standard documents and the deepest post-formation paperwork library in the space — SAFEs, option grants, hiring paperwork. If your counsel is driving the process, Clerky slots in cleanly. It is formation and paperwork, not banking or bookkeeping.

Full breakdown: Corply vs Clerky.

Firstbase — the all-in-one platform

Firstbase bundles formation with the logistics international founders need: EIN without an SSN, a US business address, mailroom, registered agent, and bookkeeping and tax add-ons. That breadth is its genuine strength. Public reviews are mixed — many smooth formations, alongside a recurring set of reviews reporting processing delays and slow support — so read current reviews before committing.

Full breakdown: Corply vs Firstbase.

doola — the compliance subscription

doola targets global founders — often e-commerce — with an LLC-first, subscription model: formation plus registered agent, US address, bookkeeping, and tax filings (including Form 5472) in annual bundles. It forms C-Corps too, and in 2026 announced an MCP integration that can initiate a formation from chat, but venture stock paperwork is not its center of gravity.

Full breakdown: Corply vs doola.

every.io — free formation, paid back office

every.io (Every) makes the formation itself free — Delaware C-Corp, EIN, 83(b) workflow, registered agent — and earns its money on the finance platform around it: banking, payroll, benefits, bookkeeping, and taxes. If you intend to run your back office there anyway, free formation is a strong offer; the formation is the front door to that ecosystem.

Corply — the agent-first option

Corply runs the entire formation from Claude Code: the agent asks the application questions and explains the standard choices, generates the venture document set, collects each cofounder's binding e-signature (PDFs reviewed via magic link, signed with a full ESIGN/UETA audit trail), and a human reviews every submission before it goes to Delaware. Pricing is a flat fee with no hourly billing. It forms Delaware C-Corps only, and it doesn't sell banking, bookkeeping, or a mailroom — the products above genuinely serve those needs better.

How to choose

Pick by workflow, not by feature count. If a lawyer leads your process, Clerky. If you're outside the US and need address, mailroom, and compliance handled, Firstbase or doola. If you want the formation free and your finance stack in one place, every.io. If you want the proven default web portal, Stripe Atlas remains excellent. And if you live in the terminal and want the process driven by your agent — with a human still reviewing the actual filing — that is what Corply is for.

Do it from Claude Code

Corply runs the whole flow — application, documents, cofounder e-signature, and a human-reviewed Delaware filing — from one command.

then run /incorporate
