Practical Gen AI: Building a Chatbot using Spring AI
In this code-driven talk using Kotlin, Spring Boot and htmx, Rod will show just how good the JVM is as a platform for building Gen AI applications.
He'll show how to use Spring AI to build a chatbot with personality, covering:
- RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) using a VectorStore
- Why and how to mix different LLMs, including open source LLMs running locally, in the same application
- How the Spring AI ""advisor"" architecture can be used to create clean, reusable components
- How to add a toxicity guard and other crosscutting functionality
- How and why to exchange structured data with LLMs
- Best practices for building Gen AI applications
He'll share his code on GitHub so attendees can continue their own exploration.
