Most AI features fail because of poor sequencing. Teams write code before they prepare their data. This leads to bad answers and high costs.
Follow this sequence to build AI features your users trust:
- Clean your data first. AI needs structured info to work.
- Use Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). This stops the AI from lying.
- Queue your AI tasks. Never make a user wait for an LLM response.
- Cache repeated answers. This saves money and speed.
- Track every token. Log the cost and user feedback from day one.
Use the Laravel AI SDK. It keeps you independent from any one provider. Swap from OpenAI to Gemini by changing one config value.
Keep your logic clean. Route all AI calls through a service class. Never put LLM calls in your controllers.
AI is an ongoing engineering task. Models change. Prompts drift. Monitor your costs to avoid budget shocks.
