I Built an AI Support Platform with Laravel 13's AI SDK | Laravel News This is a preview of Ship AI with Laravel, a new series on Laravel News. I demo the finished product so you can see where we're headed. The agent hits the database, finds a real order, pulls the return policy from the knowledge base, and streams it back. One request. I type a follow-up asking if FedEx is having delays and it searches FedEx's actual service alert page instead of guessing from training data. I throw a support ticket at it that says "I was charged twice and nobody is answering my emails." It comes back: billing category, high priority, angry sentiment, one-line summary. Then I tried to break it with a prompt injection. A local LLM on my machine screens the message before OpenAI ever sees it. Blocked. Logged. Zero API cost. Prompts, tokens, and costs all get tracked on a dashboard down to the dollar. 11 episodes. We start from composer require laravel/ai and build the whole thing.
