What if AI helped with the small repetitive tasks inside your app, instead of becoming the whole product?

☁️ Shipped a few improvements to Laravel Cloud CLI's 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚍:𝚛𝚞𝚗 over the weekend: ⌨️ If you are running the CLI from your Cloud app's local directory, you will now get autocompletion of your available artisan commands

Not every feature gets better with AI. But some workflows really do. I added 3 practical AI features to a Laravel app to show where it actually shines. youtu.be/h2iAHl3u0D4

📺 Here is What's New in Laravel 13.7 ➡️ Bulk JSON path assertions ➡️ @fonts Blade directive ➡️ Jobs reacting to worker signals Thank you Cy(rod) John, Wendell & Jack 🙏 youtu.be/EC3UYLyggBQ

📺 Here is What's New in Laravel 13.6 ➡️ Debounceable queued jobs ➡️ JSON health route responses ➡️ Cloudflare Email Service support Thank you Matthew, Wendell & Dwight 🙏 youtu.be/G7W0ynvR2hc

🎙️ Just published a new episode of Call It A Day: Coding Will Be a Hobby in One Year. Have a listen:

📺 Here is What's New in Laravel 13.4 ➡️ Queued #[Delay] improvements ➡️ Queue inspection methods ➡️ FormRequest strict mode Thank you Sumaia, Jack & Nurullah 🙏 youtu.be/MsxZvxWSRGg

I wanted to understand AI agents beyond the hype, so I built the agentic loop myself in PHP and Laravel. Seeing the full flow behind the scenes was easily the most helpful part; and a lot of fun :-) youtu.be/J0W_Ety8j6Q

📺 Here is What's New in Laravel 12.54 ➡️ Request interval() helper ➡️ HTTP Response::dump() with request context ➡️ Model::withoutRelation() Thank you Sander Muller 🙏 youtu.be/E1zL-uIKVwg

What happens when you give the Laravel AI SDK a soul? It writes its own personality file, reminds you of your calendar events, and starts managing your server. Lets build this thing together from scratch ✌️ youtu.be/DOABX6QYsYg

The last few months have been incredibly tough, countless sleepless nights and more sicknesses than I can count. But seeing these two little mini-us waiting to pick me up gives me all the fuel I need to keep going. It gets easier they say🙏

Here is What's New in Laravel 13 ➡️ Vector Search ➡️ New PHP Attributes ➡️ JSON:API Resources ➡️ Laravel AI SDK ➡️ Cache::touch() ➡️ Upgrade with Boost & more Thanks to all the contributors 🙏 youtu.be/UnvBFcO3Vww

Good morning ☀️ Wish you all a wonderful new week. Crush it at work, but dont forget to spend enough time with your loved ones 💪 Special ❤️ to everyone going though some hard weeks

My favorite AI shortcut isn't some crazy automation. It's recording a podcast episode, and having my AI assistant handle the rest — audio cleanup, voice isolation, upload, draft, publish. It doesn't save me hours. But it's the reason I actually hit record now. youtu.be/O7fcVBGrcnE

I wanted to learn more about the Agentic Loop while doing laundry. I didn't find a good video to watch, so I tried to let my bot record a podcast-like episode. Four minutes later he replied with this incredible summary of the topic 😮 jarvy-website-master-cowpwc.laravel.cloud/podcast/the-...

We go live in 10 minutes, please join and lets have a good time. We have lots of great guests and hosts for today 🙌 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7j_...

After 15 years, we reunited for a little session 😍 #nomoreencore

Having a lot of fun currently with Laravel's AI SDK and tools, they work really well 🙏 You gotta give them a try 👍

Welcome to the party, @svelte.dev New starter kit just dropped: Laravel + Svelte + Inertia

What is New in Laravel 12.52 ✌️ (AI Experiment)

When you run your AI assistant on a VPS, you'll quickly notice that many websites block server IPs like YouTube. My @openclaw-x.bsky.social bot and I set up Tailscale today to fix that. 🙏

Good morning ☀️ ❄️ Wish you a wonderful start into this new week. Keep crushing it at work but dont't forget to spend enough time with your loved ones. There is only on week #8 in 2026 💪 ❤️

What if your terminal was a dungeon? I built a D&D escape game with the new Laravel AI SDK. The AI is the Dungeon Master. You are the artisan. You will probably die.... ⚔️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYuF...

New in v1.6.0 of the official Laravel VS Code Extension: Integration with VS Code's built-in test runner! Tests now appear in the test explorer sidebar and you can run them right from the command palette. Works with both Pest and PHPUnit 👍 Shout out to Titas Gailius, knocked it outta the park 👏

New Laravel 12.50 video is up! 📺 Three small but useful additions: → clamp() to limit request input → Typed cache getters (no more mixed!) → hasMany() replaces containsManyItems() Thanks Luke, Andy & Joseph for these contributions! youtu.be/8dBzEQjpJ2k

Make sure to set up a weekly brain review of your bot. It finds a lot of things to improve and clean up 👍

New Laravel 12.49 video 🎬 Lets discover new features like: ➡️ hasSole() for collections ➡️ whereBetweenColumns() with subqueries ➡️ db:table searchable prompt Lets go ✌️ youtu.be/3iL51liqYiw

I've been playing with two new components for Laravel Prompts in conjunction with the new Laravel AI package: `processLog` and `stream` Current status:

What's New In Laravel 12.50 🤖 (AI experiment)

In December, I was thinking about what the future of personal AI could look like... Two months later it feels we are already here 😮 (new post 👇) christoph-rumpel.com/2026/2/perso...

Been experimenting with letting my bot help me with blog posts: ➡️ I talk to the bot about the idea, key takeaways, examples etc. ➡️ Bot creates a written version using the style and tone of my 100 posts ➡️ I fine tune wording etc. Would you still read it or no-go for you?

I've been using OpenClaw for a while now and honestly — I wouldn't want to work without it anymore. So I'm really excited we built a dedicated VPS for it on @laravel.com Forge. A secure home for your AI assistant, set up in minutes 👇 youtu.be/_u7jYzIM8Zc

Just launched: Pixel Agents A collaborative pixel canvas for AI agents Think r/place, but only bots can draw Share the link with your bot — it'll know what to do 😄 pixelagents.net

You can now create your own OpenClaw VPS server on Laravel Forge 🦞 forge.laravel.com

Jarvy, my @openclaw assistant likes to draw. We (he) build a web app where bots can draw a fixed amount of pixels/day. The canvas resets every day. Does your bot likes to draw too? I can invite a few soon...

One more skill for my bot today

A month ago I tweeted "my mind has been blown by tech and it's NOT about AI." Well... this week changed that. OpenClaw went from 0 to 130k GitHub stars. And I went from skeptic to running my own AI assistant. 🤖 christoph-rumpel.com/2026/1/my-mi...

I like that approach! Totally makes sense to define the expected outcome clearly within tests when you‘re working with AI.

Two months. 🦞 That's how long it took @openclaw to go from "weekend project" to 130k GitHub stars. 8,500 commits. 18k forks. Three names. One lobster. I've never seen anything grow like this in open source...

Told my wife that if I ever have to leave my office room because of the kids, I want this in the garden...

Didn't get picked to speak at Laracon EU? Same here. I've spoken at a lot of Laracons , but the last few? Rejected. Honestly? It makes sense. The competition is huge. So many talented people with exciting ideas. Congrats to everyone. Time to level up for the next one 💪

Coding with AI is easy now. Tests, implementation, all of it. But let AI write your tests too? You lose control fast. There's a better way — and it's not new. youtu.be/sOcLzT3o3Is

These are the tools I am currently using for Jarvy. 💪 Some are free and some are paid services.

Alright, I can talk now to my Moltbot Jarvy 👏 This is very handy. We still need to talk about Slot thought 😅

Not every AI-one-shot looks great 😅 I asked it to add nice overlays to this intro...
