Laravel AI Chat

Laravel + Inertia AI chat starter with streaming responses across 9 model providers

Best for: Laravel developers who want a ready-made, provider-agnostic AI chat UI with streaming responses rather than building the SSE plumbing themselves.
Skip if: You're not building on Laravel/Inertia, or need a non-chat AI app pattern (agents, RAG pipelines, etc).

AI Chat is a free, MIT-licensed Laravel starter kit that pairs the Prism PHP SDK with Inertia.js and Vue 3 to deliver a real-time streaming AI chat interface. It supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Ollama, Groq, Mistral, DeepSeek, xAI and VoyageAI out of the box, plus reasoning-model support, chat sharing, Shadcn-based theming with light/dark mode, and built-in auth via Laravel Sanctum.

Pros

Genuinely provider-agnostic - 9 AI providers supported via Prism PHP, not locked to one vendor
Free, MIT-licensed, with a healthy 379 GitHub stars and recent commits
Installable directly via the Laravel installer or Composer, following Laravel conventions

Cons

Narrowly scoped to chat UI - no billing, teams, or broader SaaS scaffolding included
Defaults to SQLite, so Postgres/MySQL users need to reconfigure the database layer
Smaller community than the flagship Laravel starter kits (Breeze/Jetstream)
