We will emphasize the following - Understandable Code - Self-documented code - Orientation document(s) that explain how the code fits together - Learning Opportunities - Emphasizing educating other developers on how come up-to-speed on ai and this package - Flexible Deployment - Lots of examples of how to customize for your own use-cases (tweaking the UI, turning off features, etc.) - Compatability with Laravel and Symfony - Good test cases and development cases - Production-ready-flags (like, removing some development-only features) ### Tech Stack [](#tech-stack) - Laravel 10+ (and Symfony, in future) - Tailwind - Livewire 3 + Alpine 3 - OpenAi API - (and , in future) ### Motivation [](#motivation) This started as an offshoot of making a chat-like WebApp for interacting with AIs in the business-education space. After getting some proof-of-concept going, I found the edge-details around implementing streaming and reactive UI was starting to get tricky, leading to a potential re-architecting of the app. This was going to stretch my own knowledge, but it also could become an opportunity for me to better engage the community, and even give back a bit. ### Roadmap [](#roadmap) #### Stage 1 (Basics) [](#stage-1-basics) - Useful Links - Hello World with API to openAi (blocking) - Hello World with API to openAi (streaming) - Hello World input box - QuickStart for local playground - GitHub Pages #### Stage 2 (Chat) [](#stage-2-chat) - Onto packagist - QuickStart for Apps - Quick Model look-up constants - Multi-Bubble chat stream - Instant submit and appropriate scrolling - Get EtGrok working for showing code samples - Figure out how to do Laravel Examples (without having to symlink into existing install) #### Stage 3 [](#stage-3) - ( ) Each bubble with ability to show extra details (like, debug hints) - Proper scrolling (re-scroll upon submit, and indicate scroll on response if scrolled up) - Scroll window, not whole page (so submit stays on-screen) #### Stage 4 [](#stage-4) - Customizable UI - Ensure lots of stuff not included on production - Make sure the examples work on your local machine (and people know how to make that happen) #### Stage 5 [](#stage-5) - FilamentPHP DevCheck Card ### PHP Evangelization [](#php-evangelization) Python & REACT get most of the love out in the real-world. Showing nicely-refined UI with LLMs is a nice way to for PHP to properly reclaim its appropriate glory. More importantly, we believe a core value of PHP has been its supportive community and well-documented projects - this is an opportunity to continue this. ### Personal Backstory [](#personal-backstory) I've developed php on-and-off since 2002-ish. Most of my projects have been fairly private, so this is my attempt to engage more publically. ### Useful Links [](#useful-links) - [Page -o- Links](./docs/links.md) ### Health Score 22 — LowBetter than 21% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity4 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity47 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
