## What it is
Talk is a Laravel package that adds a user-to-user conversation and chat system with realtime messaging to any Laravel application. It provides message threads, soft/permanent deletes, seen markers, and oEmbed URL rendering out of the box.

## Use cases

- build an inbox with message threads

- let users delete messages from their end
- mark messages as seen in a conversation system

## When to choose
- you have a Laravel project and need user-to-user messaging quickly
- you want conversation threads with pagination and soft deletes without building from scratch

## When to avoid
- your project is not Laravel/PHP based
- you need a standalone chat service or highly customized chat infrastructure
