Introduction
Hey fellow Laravel enthusiasts! In the ever-evolving landscape of e-commerce, integrating AI into your Laravel applications is not just a luxury, it’s a necessity. With SharpAPI’s Laravel package, it’s now easier than ever. In this blog, I’ll guide you through 10 transformative use cases for enhancing your Laravel-based e-commerce applications using SharpAPI.
It can save countless hours and supercharges any app with AI capabilities with just a couple of lines of code.
Please refer to the sharpapi-laravel-client package GitHub page for full documentation.
For the native PHP8
composerpackage, please check
https://github.com/sharpapi/sharpapi-php-client
Let’s dive in!
Installation
First things first, let’s get the SharpAPI Laravel package installed. It’s a breeze:
composer require sharpapi/sharpapi-laravel-client
Next, grab your API key by registering at SharpApi.com, and set it in your .env:
SHARP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
Talking to an AI engine might take a couple of seconds so it’s highly recommended to use the Laravel queuing system to optimize dispatched jobs and check the results, especially if you process bigger batches of data.
That’s it! You’re all set to supercharge your app.
Use Cases and Code Samples
1. Generating Product Descriptions
Create engaging product descriptions in seconds.
Provide as many details and a bag of parameters of the product to get the best marketing introduction possible. Comes in handy with populating product catalogue data and bulk product processing. Here’s how:
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::generateProductIntro(
'Razer Blade 16 Gaming Laptop: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090-13th
Gen Intel 24-Core i9 HX CPU-16 inch Dual Mode Mini LED
(4K UHD+ 120Hz & FHD+ 240Hz)- 32GB RAM - 2TB SSD
- Compact GaN Charger - Windows 11 NVIDIA GEFORCE
RTX 4090 GRAPHICS,13TH GEN INTEL CORE I9 13950HX
PROCESSOR',
'English'
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$result->getResultJson();
Example Response:
{
"product_intro": "Experience the ultimate gaming and
content creation powerhouse with the Razer Blade 16
Gaming Laptop. Featuring the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
graphics and the 13th Gen Intel Core i9 HX CPU, this
laptop delivers unparalleled performance for both
gaming and resource-intensive tasks. The next-gen
dual-mode Mini LED display offers stunning 4K
resolution for creative work and ultra-fast refresh
rates for smooth gameplay. With a compact GaN charger
and an anodized aluminium unibody, this laptop is
designed for portability without compromising on power
and durability."
}
2. Product Review Sentiment Analysis
Understand your customers better by analyzing sentiments in their reviews.
Parses the customer’s product review and provides its sentiment (POSITIVE/NEGATIVE/NEUTRAL) with a score between 0–100%. Great for sentiment report processing for any online store:
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::productReviewSentiment(
'This console has amazing graphics!'
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$result->getResultJson();
Example Response:
{
"opinion": "POSITIVE",
"score": 94
}
3. Category Suggestions for Products
Automatically categorize products to enhance user navigation.
Generates a list of suitable categories for the product with relevance weights as a float value (1.0–10.0) where 10 equals 100%, the highest relevance score. Provide the product name and its parameters to get the best category matches possible. Comes in handy with populating product catalogue data via forms and bulk product processing.
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::productCategories(
'Razer Blade 16 Gaming Laptop: NVIDIA GeForce RTX
4090-13th Gen Intel 24-Core i9 HX CPU - 16 inch
Dual Mode Mini LED (4K UHD+ 120Hz & FHD+ 240Hz)
- 32GB RAM - 2TB SSD - Compact GaN Charger
- Windows 11',
'English'
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$result->getResultJson();
Example Response:
[
{
"name": "Gaming Laptops",
"weight": 10
},
{
"name": "Computer Hardware",
"weight": 9
},
{
"name": "Electronics",
"weight": 8
},
{
"name": "Technology",
"weight": 7
}
]
4. Personalized Thank You Emails
Automate personalized thank-you emails post-purchase as part of your marketing automation efforts.
The response content does not contain the title, greeting or sender info at the end so you can personalize the rest of the email more easily.
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::generateThankYouEmail(
'[IM From] Honey Mask 4.23oz | wash off type, real honey
38.7%, Deep moisturization, Nourishment,Hydrating
and Clear Complexion.'
, 'English'
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$result->getResultJson();
Example Response:
{
"email": "We would like to sincerely thank you for
purchasing the [I'M From] Honey Mask 4.23oz | wash off
type, real honey 38.7%, Deep moisturization, Nourishment,
Hydrating and Clear Complexion. We appreciate your
support and hope that our product will provide
your skin with the nourishment and hydration it needs.

please feel free to contact us. Your satisfaction
is our priority, and we are here to ensure that you
have a positive experience with our products.
Thank you once again for choosing our products.
We value your trust and look forward to serving
you again."
}
5. Content Translation
Reach a global audience by translating any part of your product descriptions.
You can also use this endpoint to translate any part of your marketing automation workflow or communication with your customers. API supports 80 languages at the moment.
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::translate(
'This phone has the best camera on the market.',
'Spanish'
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$result->getResultJson();
Example Response:
{
"content": "Este teléfono tiene la mejor cámara del mercado.",
"from_language": "English",
"to_language": "Spanish"
}
6. Spam Content Detection
Keep your product reviews clean and relevant. You can process any kind of user input via this method (like comments etc).
Provides a percentage confidence score and an explanation for whether it is considered spam or not. This information is useful for moderators to make a final decision.
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::detectSpam(
'Hello, this is John from Finance Plus.
I\'ve called before, We\'ve helped other individuals like you
improve their credit. Please give me a call later.'
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$result->getResultJson();
Example Response:
{
"pass": false,
"score": 80,
"reason": "The provided content is likely spam.
It exhibits characteristics common in spam messages,
including unsolicited outreach, a generic and
impersonal tone, and a call to action for credit
improvement without specific details about
the individual situation. The mention of having called
before may be an attempt to create a false sense
of familiarity.
The overall content raises suspicion of potential spam."
}
7. Extracting Contact Information: Phones
Extract phone numbers and emails from customer inquiries efficiently.
The example below parses the provided text for any phone number and returns the original detected version and its E.164 format. It might come in handy in the case of processing and validating big chunks of data against phone numbers or f.e. if you want to detect phone numbers or emails in places where they’re not supposed to be.
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::detectPhones(
'Where to find us? Call with a sales tech advisor:
Call: 1800-394-7486 or our Singapore office +65 8888 8888'
);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$result->getResultJson();
Example Response:
[
{
"parsed\_number": "+18003947486",
"detected\_number": "1800-394-7486"
},
{
"parsed\_number": "+6588888888",
"detected\_number": "+65 8888 8888"
}
]
8. Extracting Contact Information: Emails
Parses the provided text for any possible emails. It might come in handy in case of processing and validating big chunks of data against email addresses or if you want to check if in places where they’re not supposed to be or might be passed in a weird format (like the example below: Hidden_email[at]amazon.com)
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::detectEmails(
'Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate
velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.
Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt
in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
Contact us at example@email.com or
lorem.ipsum@email.com for more information.

);
$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$result->getResultJson();
Example Response:
[
"example@email.com",
"lorem.ipsum@email.com",
"Hidden\_email@amazon.com"
]

$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::summarizeText(
