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.

It's cool to me the process can be automated. Are there state/gov APIs providing access or is it more AI/data mining enabled?

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.
