From Zero to AI: Building Smart Java or Kotlin Applications with Spring AI

This conference talk, led by the Spring AI project lead Christian Tzolov, provides a comprehensive guide to integrating AI capabilities into Java and Kotlin applications using Spring AI. Learn how to connect enterprise data and APIs with AI models to build practical multi-agent automations. Through live coding demonstrations, explore implementation of key Generative AI patterns including Conversation Memory, Tool/Function calling, and Modular RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation). Discover approaches for building multi-agent systems and leveraging observability through metrics, tracing, and logging to monitor system performance. Master techniques for managing AI hallucinations using relevancy and fact-checking evaluators. Gain all the necessary knowledge to start integrating generative AI into existing Java and Kotlin applications using the Spring AI framework in this 1 hour and 46 minute Devoxx presentation.
