Summary

At Laracon 2025, a new feature for generating Laravel applications through natural language prompts was introduced via app.build, an open-source reference architecture for agent code generation. This tool, initially focused on React/Node templates, now supports Laravel, enabling users to generate full-stack web apps by simply describing their app in a prompt. The process includes scaffolding, writing tests, deploying to the cloud, and integrating a Postgres database, all managed on GitHub. Originating from a research project by Neon, app.build aims to enhance platforms using AI agents and codegen tools. The new Laravel template facilitates rapid prototyping and app creation, aligning with Laravel's best practices, and encourages community contributions under the Apache 2 license.
