In this book Craig Walls sets out the case that when it comes to AI applications, no Python, no problem! The Spring AI framework makes it possible to add LLM-based features to any Spring application using Java or other JVM languages like Kotlin. From setting up Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to creating AI agents, Craig Walls shows the reader how to build AI applications natively using Spring AI and Spring Boot. Starting with a simple “Hello AI World” example and quickly advancing to more sophisticated techniques, including RAG, AI agents, tool use, speech, and AI observability.
