So, first up on this break, we have the what do you call the most exciting man in Laravel. Um, so Vishel, come on over here, buddy. We're gonna have a seat here. Hey, man. How are you? I'm good. Good. You good? Doing well. So, yesterday live on stage right before Taylor's talk, you announced something. What was that? Well uh the thing is that uh everyone says that Larakon India is the space of energy. Yes. And with the help of the same energy we finished four successful years. So we thought that it's our fifth anniversary. So why don't we make it special and over the years especially from the European uh attendees artisans and also people from US they wanted to have an exotic location where they just don't be part of the Lakon India but also something where they feel that yes this is something which they want to do apart from doing the conference because it's a long travel so based on everyone feedback we decided uh the city and the dates of next year Laracon India to celebrate our fifth anniversary so that was the main announcement on stage And we see pretty good excitement as well.
Yeah, that's awesome. So five year that uh that's hard to believe, right? Because India, how many people usually come to this? I mean you've got like thousands right at every Laracon India. Yeah, we have the world record of the biggest Laracon ever in the first Laracon was 1300 plus people. But on an average we have 1,000 around Wow, that's crazy. Um so yeah, so this year you're move you're moving locations and you said where where where is it at? It is like go go go go go. I love that. I love that. It gonna be the first city which is surrounded by water for by water.
So So we're gonna have a yacht most probably for the for the speakers we have here. Oh, so you so you want to be a speaker and you want to be on the yacht. All right. You you're here first. Get your talk. You No, no. I'm just going to be there. I'm just media. I'm just media. I'm just going to be there to have fun and and sort of follow you around and be your bodyguard. Yeah. No, you because your energy is so crazy. People ask me that what is the source of my energy. But I think what is source of your energy?
I just channel my inner vicial, you know. I'm like, yeah, let's go dance and and have fun. Came through jet lag and you were still like enjoying even last night. Yes. Yeah. So, yeah. Yeah. The jet lag has been terrible. Um, but we're getting there. We're still enjoying it. We get a lot of coffee in us and and then we're good to go. Um, so so after Laron, so te tell me about your new product or I guess it's not new, but your your product. Tell tell the world about it real quick. Yeah. So apart from like being organizer of Laracon India, I uh also uh work a lot in Laravel because it's live for me.
Uh so uh we built a product called Lara Copilot, right? So uh it's uh the product where you can create your entire MVP like including front end, back end powered by Laravel which has all the Laravel standards and it's like like an easy it's a web app. You just create your account, you write a prompt and you see entire code generated like like you know you feel like the code is being generated and like after like 3 4 5 minutes you see entire preview of it. So that project initially we launched in Larakon US where we really got good interest even yesterday the the day itself we got 100 plus right people just created their profile and projects as well.
So that's awesome. It's been pretty good. That's awesome. And um one of the one of the cool things is you know the so you're just writing the prompt. It does everything but it's also keeping all the like you said all the Laravel standards and it's basically going right by what Yaravel itself recommends. Yeah. I mean like uh we created prompts from our side as well so that it creates uh all the Laravel standards as well. On top of that we also decided that we want to build entire ecosystem within the portal itself. So a lot of people like yesterday they created booking engine.
Some people created health algorithm, some people created games. So you want to make sure that uh the moment you start writing more and more prompts, you get the polished version of your back end front end which you can preview yourself and then you can use the code for extended development. So that's the way we want to be you know right AI powered too. That's awesome. And so where where can they find this? Well, you can find uh of course in uh Google you can search like uh Lara Copilot or you can find it by laropilot.com.
