Can ChatGPT incorporate my company?
By Corply · Updated
ChatGPT can explain incorporation, but it can't file a Delaware C-Corp by itself. To have an AI do the work, connect it to a formation service. With OpenAI's Codex connected to Corply, the agent carries the application through documents, founder signatures, payment and a human-reviewed Delaware filing.
What ChatGPT can do on its own
Without a connected service, ChatGPT is a guide. It can explain the difference between an LLC and a Delaware C-Corp, list the documents, draft a founder agreement outline and tell you the deadlines. It can't reserve a name, file a certificate of incorporation, collect signatures, pay state fees or get an EIN. A company exists only when the state accepts a filing.
Before relying on any answer, check it against the steps in how to incorporate a Delaware C-Corp.
Form the company with Codex and Corply
Codex is OpenAI's coding agent. It connects to Corply's MCP server, so the same conversation can do the real work:
- Follow the Codex setup and sign in to Corply in your browser.
- Ask Codex: “Help me incorporate my startup as a Delaware C-Corp.”
- Answer its questions about the name, founders, ownership, directors and vesting. Corply validates them and prepares the documents.
- Each founder signs their own documents from an emailed link, and a person approves the payment.
- A person on Corply's team reviews the Delaware submission. After acceptance, Corply prepares the EIN application and files each founder's 83(b) election if they chose it.
Not using Codex? The same application works in the browser, and Corply also connects to Claude, Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP clients.
Other services that work with AI chat
doola can form an LLC inside a chat through its MCP server, with Wyoming as the default state. Stripe Atlas ($500) can be started from an agent through Stripe's MCP server; founders then finish identity, signing, payment and submission in the Stripe Dashboard. If you plan to raise venture capital, read C-Corp or LLC for a startup before picking a service, and compare prices in Stripe Atlas alternatives.
