# Prism – Seamlessly Integrate LLMs into Your Laravel Applications

## 🚀 Introduction

Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed the landscape of artificial intelligence—enabling everything from smart chatbots and content generation to advanced, AI-driven applications. But integrating different AI providers into your Laravel project can quickly become complex and messy.

**Prism** is here to simplify that process.

It offers a **unified interface** to interact with multiple LLM providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, and more—allowing you to focus on **building AI features**, not managing API quirks.

## 🧠 Quick Example

```php
phpCopyEdituse Prism\Prism\Prism;
use Prism\Prism\Enums\Provider;

$response = Prism::text()
    ->using(Provider::Anthropic, 'claude-3-7-sonnet-latest')
    ->withSystemPrompt(view('prompts.system'))
    ->withPrompt('Explain quantum computing to a 5-year-old.')
    ->asText();

echo $response->text;
```

Or use the fluent `prism()` helper for brevity:

```php
phpCopyEditprism()
    ->text()
    ->using(Provider::OpenAI, 'gpt-4')
    ->withPrompt('Explain quantum computing to a 5-year-old.')
    ->asText();
```

## 🛠️ Installation

### Requirements

* PHP >= **8.2**
    
* Laravel >= **11.0**
    

### Step 1: Install via Composer

```apache
bashCopyEditcomposer require prism-php/prism
```

> 📌 **Tip:** To avoid potential breaking changes, it's recommended to pin to a specific version. Example:  
> `"prism-php/prism": "^0.3.0"`

### Step 2: Publish the Configuration

```apache
bashCopyEditphp artisan vendor:publish --tag=prism-config
```

This will generate a `config/prism.php` file where you can customize providers, default models, API keys, and more.
