Good write up - I think a lot of peoples journeys (at least my own) is completions api --> responses --> deeper into the tech.

How useful have you found the Agents SDK? Meaning the SDK taking care of sessions, chat history etc. is that very useful or just "its nice that it is there..." could have built it on your own if need be type of feature?

Much Luck on the EdTech tool - interesting on the PHP choice. Just personal preference?

Agents SDK is very useful. In-fact can design handoffs and multi agent orchestration very intuitively, and that is where the sessions, chat history all comes together. Agents SDK solves all the caveats with Responses API, from making it more than an API, into an SDK. The SDK is a layer on top of Responses API, so the SDK gives you lot of boilerplate for so many things.

I love PHP since beginning! ZealPHP is my own creation, actively developed. We created it inside our Academy. It powers our EdTech tool today as well. We initially used Apache+mod+php, but as AI needs grew, I don't want to rewrite the whole codebase for asynchronous operations to have SSE, sockets, streaming etc. I used to do with sidecars like RabbitMQ. So it began as an experiment inside the academy, today the same framework powers the EdTech tool we use in-house. To be exact, we made the same Apache+mod_php codebase run in ZealPHP and made it asynchronous.

And why PHP... because it's bloody fast when run asynchronous! HTML rendering is first class, we made ZealPHP yield HTML like react's renderToPipeableStream, and much more using OpenSwoole, making it close to the SAPI contract with classic PHP mental model. So I wanted to explore what PHP could offer in this new direction.
