What does the Lovie plan include?

Formation is $29 one-time and includes your LLC or C-Corp prepared and submitted, post-incorporation documents (bylaws, operating agreement, stock purchase agreement and more), AI-guided formation, a real-time dashboard, and priority support. Registered agent service with digital mail scan & forwarding is priced separately at $79/year ($49/year in Wyoming). State filing fees are billed separately and paid directly to your state.

Can I really form a company from my IDE?

Yes. Lovie is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool — it connects to Claude Code, Cursor, Manus, Replit, or any MCP-compatible editor. You type natural-language commands, answer a few questions, and your LLC or C-Corp is filed. You can also use our open-source CLI: npx create-llc.

How does billing work?

Formation is a one-time $29 charge — no subscription. Registered agent service is billed annually at $79/year ($49/year in Wyoming) and is priced separately. State filing fees are billed separately and paid directly to your state.

Can I trust AI with company formation?

Lovie uses state-verified legal templates — the same standard forms used by traditional filing services. AI handles data entry, validation, and workflow automation — not legal judgment calls. You review and approve every document before submission.

What is the LLC-to-C-Corp conversion?

You launch lean as an LLC, then convert to a Delaware C-Corp when raising VC. LLC-to-C-Corp conversion through Lovie is coming soon.

How long does state processing take?

Delaware typically processes within 1-3 business days. Wyoming often processes same-day. Lovie submits your filing as soon as you approve it — we add zero delays on our end.

No. We automate company formation filings as a technology platform. We handle filings — not legal counsel. Consult a licensed attorney for personalized legal advice.
