Integrating OpenAI API into Your Laravel Application
ou already know the situation. You need AI in your Laravel app, so you reach for `openai-php/client`, wire up the HTTP calls, write your own retry logic, figure out how to serialize conversation history, and by the time you've got something working you've built a custom integration layer that nobody else on the team knows how to touch. Laravel's official AI package takes a different approach. `laravel/ai` is first-party — built by the Laravel team, not a third-party wrapper — and it brings a full agent architecture to your application: class-based agents, database-backed conversation memory, structured output, tools, streaming, and queued execution. OpenAI is one supported provider. Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, Mistral, and a dozen others are in the same list.
