AI-Powered Admin Chat for Laravel

Looking to implement an AI-driven chat inside a Laravel admin panel. The chat should understand user requests and execute predefined backend actions (create/update items, manage content, perform bulk operations, etc.) through function calling. The AI model will be self-hosted (Mistral or another open-source LLM) and communicate with Laravel via API. Responsibilities: Integrate Laravel with a self-hosted LLM (Mistral, LLaMA, Ollama, vLLM, etc.). Set up function-calling / tool-based action execution. Build a simple chat interface inside the Laravel admin. Ensure safe execution of database operations via service layer (no raw AI-generated queries). Help structure prompts, intents, and tool definitions. Looking for a developer with hands-on experience in: Open-source LLMs and self-hosted setups, Laravel (backend architecture, service layer, queues), Building chat-style interfaces, AI-to-backend action routing.
