StartMy vs ChatGPT
"ChatGPT hallucinates. We execute."
myLO's Verdict
AI Analysis
Action: We actually file the docs, ChatGPT just talks.
The Insider Reality
""ChatGPT is a great brainstormer, but it can't legally register a company or connect to Companies House API. We bridge the gap between AI ideas and real-world legal action.""
The Context
Generative AI like ChatGPT or Claude is fantastic for brainstorming names or drafting text. However, they are isolated "chatbots". They cannot interact with the real world, they cannot process payments, and they cannot legally file documents with the UK government.
The Why
You can ask ChatGPT to "write a business plan", but it won't be formatted for a bank loan application. You can ask it to "register a company", but it will simply halluncinate a fake confirmation or tell you to go to the government website. StartMy integrates similar Large Language Model (LLM) technology but connects it to a hard-coded, verified legal engine. We use AI for the "thinking" (generating descriptions, selecting codes) but we use robust, secure APIs for the "doing" (filing with Companies House, purchasing domains).
The Verdict
Use ChatGPT for ideas. Use StartMy for execution. We bridge the gap between "Hey AI, I have an idea" and "Here is your official Certificate of Incorporation". We turn the text into a tangible legal entity.
