AI suggestion for PHPStorm and Laravel 11

Hi everyone,

I recently completed the Laravel 11 in 30 days course and am now working on my first project. I’m using PHPStorm, JetBrains AI, and Laravel-Idea. PHPStorm and Laravel-Idea are working great, but JetBrains AI is struggling to provide answers that align with the latest Laravel 11 features.

When I asked about JetBrains AI update date, I received a response stating that JetBrains AI is up-to-date with information and knowledge until October 2023. I’m looking for an AI Assistant that is more current with the latest Laravel developments.

I’m open to using Ollama with local LLM models if necessary, or any paid online service that provides up-to-date assistance. The AI Assistant is helping me with tasks I’m not familiar with and providing step-by-step instructions, but ultimately, I’m writing the code myself.

To find an AI assistant that is up-to-date with the latest Laravel developments, including Laravel 11, you might consider the following options:

  1. GitHub Copilot: This AI tool is integrated into many IDEs, including PHPStorm, and is trained on a wide range of codebases, including open-source projects. It can provide code suggestions and help with Laravel-specific tasks.

  2. ChatGPT: OpenAI's ChatGPT, especially the latest versions, can be a good resource for getting up-to-date information and code suggestions. You can use it through their web interface or integrate it into your development environment using APIs.

  3. Tabnine: This AI-powered code completion tool supports PHP and can be integrated with PHPStorm. It learns from your codebase and can provide context-aware suggestions.

  4. Local LLMs with Ollama: If you prefer running models locally, you can explore using Ollama to run language models that are fine-tuned for PHP and Laravel. This might require some setup and fine-tuning to ensure the model is aware of the latest Laravel features.

  5. Laravel-Specific Tools: Keep an eye on Laravel-specific tools and plugins that might be released by the community. These tools are often updated to support the latest versions of Laravel.

  6. Community Forums and Discords: Engaging with the Laravel community through forums, Discord channels, or Reddit can also provide insights and recommendations for tools that others are using successfully.

Remember, while AI tools can be incredibly helpful, they should complement your learning and development process rather than replace it. Always verify the suggestions provided by AI, especially when working with new or complex features.

@jeroenvip forget AI.

Learn and figure it out yourself. Use AI for simple manual tasks of completion or generation but not for understanding the concepts.
