Ship AI with Laravel — Episode 1 is live

Hey,

Episode 1 of Ship AI with Laravel is out.
We go from a fresh Laravel 13 app to a working support agent in about 10 minutes. Install the SDK, scaffold the agent, write customer support instructions, send a prompt, and get an actual response back. I also dig into the response object to show you token counts, the provider, and the model, stuff you’ll want for cost tracking later. I also swap the provider from OpenAI to Anthropic on a single request to show that the agent code stays identical.
This is the foundation for everything else in the series. Every episode from here builds on this.

Next up: a ticket classifier that takes messy customer messages and returns structured data. Category, priority, sentiment, summary. No human in the loop.

Talk soon,
Harris
