PHP Applications Can Support AI Without Python or Node.js

Staff Reporter

Iztok Smolic of Agiledrop has posted on LinkedIn pushing back against the common belief that modern AI features require technologies like Python or Node.js. He argues that PHP is not a barrier to AI integration and that the real challenge lies in understanding how AI works and how to apply it effectively. Iztok outlines that successful AI implementation depends on identifying suitable problems, using prompt engineering, setting up API connections, and handling asynchronous operations—not on switching tech stacks.

He stresses that the real value comes from the structured data PHP applications already store and AI’s ability to perform actions using existing functions. Examples include automating customer support with historical ticket data, generating content from past materials, and suggesting workflows based on user behaviour.

Iztok urges developers and teams not to let outdated tech stack assumptions prevent them from adopting AI. He invites those working with PHP-based systems to contact Agiledrop for support in exploring AI opportunities.
