### Summary

[](#summary)

A complete openai-like chat package you can use in your own projects, with an emphasis on good-enough for startup MVP-style work, plus leaning into educating fellow developers along the way.

### QuickStart Local Playground

[](#quickstart-local-playground)

see: [Readme.QuickPlayground.md](Readme.QuickPlayground.md)

### QuickStart for your App

[](#quickstart-for-your-app)

see: [Readme.QuickPlayground.md](Readme.QuickPlayground.md)

### Mission

[](#mission)

Create an open-ai style chat library suitable for the PHP to mostly reusable in their own applications, including a well-refined UI.

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 &amp; 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.
