Making your @Beans Intelligent

There is much discussion about AI in the general media and among geeks, sparked by the recent advancements in OpenAI’s ChatGPT. As a Java developer, how do I start making AI-powered apps? Drawing inspiration from successful Python projects such as LangChain and LlamaIndex, Spring AI has got you covered. An AI application isn’t just about the model; it is about the software engineering that makes your application solve real-world use cases, use cases that are not solved by simply asking ChatGPT on the web. In this session, we will start immediately with a hello world example and then introduce the domain language of AI applications and how you can solve real-world use cases such as Q&A over your own documents. At the end of this talk, you will have the basics to make your @Beans intelligent! MARK POLLACK Dr. Mark Pollack has been a core Spring (Java) developer since 2003 and founded its Microsoft counterpart, Spring.NET, in 2004.
