We're excited to introduce you to our own Symfony-trained AI coding assistant: Brontie. Part dinosaur, part AI, fully obsessed with Symfony.

You'll find Brontie hanging out in the comments of every tutorial — ready to help when you get stuck on a tricky chapter, can't remember which service to autowire, or need a little help coding along with the course. The humans at SymfonyCasts are still here for you in the comments, but if you need instant help, Brontie can provide that!

How to Summon Brontie

Just mention @Brontie in any comment on a chapter, course, or blog post and that's it! Brontie will pop in with an answer shortly after. Want to keep the conversation going? Just reply as you would to anyone else — Brontie remembers the thread.

Brontie has Watched Every Tutorial on SymfonyCasts

Here's the part we're really proud of: Brontie is trained on every SymfonyCasts tutorial. When you ask a question, Brontie pulls from the actual lessons we've written.

Brontie has also been studying the official Symfony documentation and source code, Doctrine, EasyAdmin, PHPUnit docs, and all the other libraries we cover throughout our courses — so when Brontie points you to a method or feature, it's grounded in the real ecosystem you're working in.

That means Brontie's answers stay closer to the version of Symfony you're learning — and far less likely to reach for a method that was removed several versions ago, or an invented API. Realistically, Brontie is an AI, and it won't always be perfect, but the tutorials and docs help keep Brontie as on track as a web developing dino can be.

Help Brontie get Smarter

Every answer Brontie gives has a rating widget. If Brontie nailed it, say so. If Brontie missed the mark, tell us what went wrong — we read the feedback and use it to sharpen it up over time.

Joining the Beta

Brontie is currently in closed beta for SymfonyCasts subscribers. We're letting people in gradually, so we can keep an eye on quality and make sure it's actually helping.

If you're a subscriber, head over to the Brontie page and request access.

Cheers! 🦕
