Ha unfortunately the state/gov doesn't provide APIs so what we've done is build as much automation as we can around the "manual pieces"

It's programmatic + fully automated for the platform to call our API -> behind the scenes on our side, most of the end to end process is automated with some "human in the loop" reviews at key points for filings or taxes.

Hey great question, the goal with this is to enable a platform to offer this to their users easily in-app (vs having their user need to leave to go DIY on the state website).

One example use case: if you are a bank and your user needs an LLC + EIN to open an account with you, instead of giving them a guide and saying "here is what you need to do" -> they could use our API -> offer formation + EIN directly in app -> seamless process to now onboard.

Hey! We're beginning to onboard customers, it's not completely "self-serve" yet and even in future, we will have to see if we can bank certain types of companies (ie we can only do LLCs, C Corps, DAO LLCs, no sole props / trusts) and we can't serve money service businesses, adult entertainment, gambling etc!

hey! the bank will run KYC + AML and it's also why we require identification, full documentation on the company, as well as the beneficiary owners!

No way around KYC + AML, but can streamline process via formation + EIN + bank account integration!
