AI Lab — Laravel AI SDK

A hands-on learning lab for the Laravel AI SDK (laravel/ai). One page per feature, each with a plain-language explanation, a step-by-step breakdown (input → process → output), and an interactive demo.

Built as a study project — not a production app.

Features

Accessible from the sidebar after login:

• Basic prompt — send text to an agent and get a response
• File analysis — attach a document and let the model analyze it
• Images — generate images from a text prompt
• Audio (TTS) — turn text into speech
• Transcription (STT) — transcribe an audio file, with optional diarization
• Embeddings — turn text into vectors and visualize them
• RAG — conceptual page explaining retrieval-augmented generation

Provider

The lab uses OpenAI only — it's the single provider that covers every capability demonstrated here (text, images, TTS, STT, embeddings), so one API key runs everything. Since the SDK is multi-provider, switching later is just a config/key change.

Setup

# 1. Install dependencies
composer install
npm install

# 2. Environment
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate

# 3. Add your OpenAI key to .env
#    OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...

# 4. Database (--seed creates a demo admin: admin@app.com / password)
php artisan migrate --seed

# 5. Run (server + queue + vite)
composer run dev

Then open the app, register (or log in with the seeded admin), and explore the AI Lab from the sidebar.

Tests
