Practical overview
When it fits
Use Neuron AI when building an AI-agent feature or application in PHP and you want framework components for agent setup, model connections, tools, memory or orchestration.
Who it is for
- PHP developers adding AI agents to existing applications.
- Software teams building agent workflows that use application data or interact with a user interface.
Documented uses
- Add a conversational AI agent to a PHP application.
- Connect an agent to language models, tools, data sources, vector databases and memory.
- Compose multi-agent or event-driven workflows, including human approval and streaming stages.
Requirements & limits
The framework is available in a public GitHub repository under the MIT license. Its stated PHP requirement is ^8.1.
- The framework targets PHP and states PHP ^8.1 as a requirement.
- The getting-started example uses Composer and provides a command to generate an agent class.
- The README documents an Anthropic provider example; provider-specific setup should be checked in the framework documentation.
- The project describes additional workflow capabilities including multi-agent orchestration, human-in-the-loop steps, streaming and asynchronous execution.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install Neuron AI and generate an agent
Add the framework to a PHP project and create an agent class.
Before you start
- PHP ^8.1
- A PHP project using Composer
Steps
Run
composer require neuron-core/neuron-ai.Run
vendor/bin/neuron make:agent DataAnalystAgentfrom the project directory.
Expected outcome
The framework is installed and its command creates an agent class scaffold.
Guide limitations
- These steps cover installation and class generation only; provider configuration and agent execution are separate stages.
Compare options for Agent orchestration
These projects document a common task and share a project role. This is a source-based comparison, not an execution benchmark or a guarantee of interchangeability.
