GLENDORA, CA - Zabaca today announced the launch of ComplianceAPI.ai, the first comprehensive API platform that gives AI agents instant access to real-time business compliance data across all 50 states. As AI assistants increasingly handle business formation, payroll, and tax compliance tasks, they’ve been forced to navigate hundreds of fragmented government websites and interpret complex, ever-changing regulations. ComplianceAPI.ai solves this with a single API that provides structured, actionable compliance data designed specifically for AI consumption.
Every day, AI agents attempt to help entrepreneurs start businesses, calculate payroll taxes, or determine multi-state compliance requirements - only to fail when faced with unstructured PDFs, broken government websites, and regulations that change without notice. This fragmentation costs U.S. businesses over $1.9 trillion annually in compliance overhead, with 40% of small businesses paying an average of $845 per year in tax penalties alone due to missed deadlines or calculation errors.
ComplianceAPI.ai transforms this chaos into clarity with simple API calls. When an AI agent needs to form an LLC in California, calculate payroll withholding for remote employees across multiple states, or check economic nexus thresholds for sales tax, it gets instant, accurate, actionable data. The platform monitors thousands of federal, state, and local sources for regulatory changes, ensuring AI agents always work with current information.
“AI agents are revolutionizing how businesses operate, but they’ve been handicapped by the lack of structured compliance data. We’re building the nervous system that lets AI handle real-world business tasks. Just as Stripe abstracted away payment complexity, we’re abstracting away compliance complexity for the AI era.”
James Lee, Founder and CEO of Zabaca
The platform launches with comprehensive coverage of business formation requirements for all 50 states, federal and state tax calculations, multi-state payroll withholding intelligence, and economic nexus tracking. Early beta users report dramatic improvements in their AI agents’ capabilities.
"Our AI assistant can now form LLCs, calculate payroll taxes, and track compliance deadlines across all our clients' states - tasks that were literally impossible before ComplianceAPI.ai. We've reduced compliance errors to zero while cutting processing time by 95%."
Jennifer Martinez, CTO of TaxBot AI
ComplianceAPI.ai uses a simple REST API that returns structured JSON responses optimized for AI consumption. Developers can integrate the platform in minutes, with comprehensive documentation and SDKs available for all major programming languages. The platform’s intelligence engine handles complex calculations like multi-state payroll tax withholding, economic nexus analysis, and deadline tracking, while the action layer enables document generation and form preparation.
Getting started is straightforward - developers sign up for an API key and immediately gain access to compliance data across all jurisdictions. The platform offers usage-based pricing starting at free for developers (100 calls/month), $99/month for startups (10,000 calls), and $499/month for growth companies (100,000 calls), with enterprise plans available for high-volume users.
"Within one week of integrating ComplianceAPI.ai, our AI agents successfully formed over 200 LLCs across 15 different states with zero errors. What used to take our human operators hours of research now happens instantly. It's not just a time saver - it's enabling entirely new AI capabilities we couldn't offer before."
David Park, Head of Product at AI Business Assistant
ComplianceAPI.ai is available now at complianceapi.ai with free developer accounts. Premium features including advanced payroll calculations, multi-state compliance tracking, and action automation are available with paid plans. For more information, visit complianceapi.ai.
