Laravel AI
Since 2024Official Laravel SDK for integrating AI/LLM providers
Official Laravel SDK for integrating AI/LLM providers — OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama and more with a unified API.
Overview
The Laravel AI SDK provides a clean, fluent interface for calling LLM providers from Laravel applications. I use it to add AI-powered features like text generation, summarization, embeddings, and tool-use workflows. It supports OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Ollama for local models, and other providers through a unified driver system — identical to how Laravel handles mail or queue drivers. Combined with Laravel's job queue (Horizon), I run heavy AI tasks asynchronously, keeping API response times fast while processing LLM calls in the background.
Use Cases
- AI-powered features in Laravel apps
- text generation
- content summarization
- semantic search with embeddings
- chatbot backends
- AI-assisted form validation
- document analysis
Advantages
- Unified multi-provider API
- familiar Laravel driver pattern
- async via queues
- streaming support
- tool-use/function-calling
- easy provider switching
Considerations
- Relatively new package
- provider support still growing
- complex multi-step agents need custom orchestration
- token costs managed externally
