Laravel tip.

In validation rules, you can stack multiple `Rule::unique()` validators to check uniqueness across DIFFERENT tables simultaneously.

Perfect for preventing duplicate emails EVERYWHERE.

Laravel tip: `whereBelongsTo()`

Tiny readability win for those who like that style: let Eloquent express relationships instead of repeating `_id` columns everywhere.

Even shorter sentences if combined with Eloquent scopes.

Of course, it's a personal preference.

New Laravel Daily course is OUT!
AI Agents/IDEs for Laravel: May 2026 (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, etc) laraveldaily.com/course/ai-agents-laravel-2026?mtm…

7 videos, 53 mins.
My "fresh" take on popular IDEs I would recommend.

Exclusive for Laravel Daily members: in this case, I won't publish any videos on YouTube.

- Is Laravel Boost all we need for Laravel?
- What agentic "clients" are popular/trending?
- Why people switch to Codex from Claude Code?
- Is PhpStorm still in the AI game?
- What's the best value for money?

I will discuss all those questions, showing various tools/models in action.

Laravel Boost protip.
If you installed new Laravel packages, don't forget to re-run `php artisan boost:install` again.

Packages may have AI guidelines.
Especially Spatie :)

Or put the `php artisan boost:update —discover` with that specific flag into your composer.json

Laravel tip.
Want to show a number like "123.4K" instead of "123 400"?

There's a helper class Number, with `Number::abbreviate()` function.

Here's an example from one of my latest Filament projects.

Started shooting a NEW Laravel Daily course:
"AI Agents for Laravel Projects: May 2026 Update"

Coming this/next week.

I had a similar course in November 2025, but in AI times it's AAAANCIENT now.

What changed since then:
- Cursor lost AI game (now almost sold to SpaceX)
- Codex growing, Claude Code declining
- Opencode became a huge thing
- Chinese models are closer to Western LLMs in quality
- PhpStorm... is it still alive in AI race at all?..

So, these and more questions in the upcoming course.

If you have any more topics you want me to touch on, reply below.

Hey Laravel devs, do you often build a Chat in your apps?
What package do you use, then? Here are three options.

- musonza/chat: github.com/musonza/chat
- munafio/chatify: github.com/munafio/chatify
- wirechat/wirechat: github.com/wirechat/wirechat

Anything I've missed?

Want me to do a comparison review?

If you were even curious to ask Taylor Otwell which LLMs he uses for coding.

Laravel tip: multi-tenancy.
For simple multi-tenancy in a single DB with no packages, it's enough to have `->where('company_id')` in a Global Scope, right?

Wrong.

What devs often forget is to take care of:
- Validation rules
- Permissions/policy
- Raw DB queries
