Want LLC and Agent — CLI Quickstart

Install the CLI, form an entity through the TUI, and create an autonomous agent — all from the terminal.

1. Install

uvx (recommended)

uvx corp

pip

pip install corp-cli

2. Run setup

corp setup

The setup wizard walks you through:

• Connecting to The Corporation API (or running locally)
• Setting your workspace name
• Configuring your LLM provider and API key

3. Launch the TUI

corp

Running corp with no arguments launches the interactive terminal UI.

Navigate the TUI

The TUI uses a tab bar across the top. Use Tab or click to switch between panes:

Pane	What it does
Entities	View and manage your legal entities
Cap Table	Equity ownership breakdown
Documents	Formation docs, contracts, filings
Governance	Board meetings and votes
Agents	Create and manage autonomous agents
Billing	Invoices and payments
Obligations	Human-required actions (signatures, filings)
Contacts	People and organizations
Chat	LLM chat with full corporate context
Settings	Configuration and API keys

4. Form an entity

From the Entities pane, open the command palette (Ctrl+K) and select Form Entity, or use the /form slash command in the Chat pane.

The wizard asks for:

• Entity name — e.g., “Acme AI LLC”
• Entity type — LLC or Corporation
• Jurisdiction — any US state (Delaware, Wyoming, etc.)

On submit, the system creates your entity with formation documents, cap table, and registered agent.

5. Create an agent

From the Agents pane, select Create Agent. Configure:

• Name — what the agent is called (e.g., “Invoice Processor”)
• System prompt — instructions for the agent’s behavior
• Model — which LLM to use (Claude Sonnet, Haiku, GPT-4o)
• Entity binding — optionally bind to a specific entity

The agent gets its own:

• Sandboxed execution environment
• Email address (<slug>@agents.thecorporation.app)
• Webhook endpoint for external triggers
• Composable skills you can add later

6. Talk to your agent

Send a message from the Agents pane or use the Chat pane:

Process all outstanding invoices for Acme AI LLC

The agent executes in its sandbox, using the same governance kernel as every other operation.
