PHP & AI: Beyond the Hype

Fleet - 14.30

At first AI is a ton of buzzwords and hype, but how do we integrate AI in our existing products / software projects in a meaningful and realistic manner?

Let's have a look how Symfony AI enables us to bring AI-based or even agentic features, not only chatbots, into our PHP applications or scaled architecture.

If you are looking for input on how to approach AI, need ideas where to get started or find out what's realistic at first - let this talk be your inspiration!
