Laravel makes AI integration simple. Use the openai-php/laravel library for a fast setup.

Follow these steps:

• Install the library via composer.
• Publish the service provider.
• Add your API key to the .env file.

Build a service class. Move AI logic into a separate class. This keeps your controllers clean.

Add these features:

• Chat logic for user and AI messages.
• Streaming for real-time text.
• Error handling for connection failures.

Write your tests. Use OpenAI::fake for unit tests. You save money by not hitting the real API.
