Build a Smart API with Laravel

APIs don’t have to be dumb pipes. In this hands-on session, we’ll build a smart API using Laravel, starting from nothing and ending with real decisions, actions, and intelligence. You’ll see how Laravel goes beyond simple request/response patterns, making it ideal for APIs that trigger jobs, enforce policies, and even talk to LLMs. We’ll mix a little vibe-coding with Laravel’s powerful built-in tooling to get results fast and clean. Learn one practical skill, see how it all fits together, and walk away ready to use it.
