Build intelligent Java applications using Spring AI with practical projects covering generative AI, multimodal models, and real-world use cases
Key Features
* Build production-minded AI apps with Spring's familiar programming model
* Apply chat, image, audio, embeddings, and structured output in Java
* Compare models, control cost, and extend Spring AI for real-world use
Book Description
Learn how to turn AI ideas into practical Java applications without fighting unfamiliar tools or excessive boilerplate. This book shows you how to use Spring AI to build intelligent applications with the Spring programming model, helping you work productively while applying chat, audio, image, embeddings, structured output, and automation capabilities in real projects.
Written by John Blum, a staff software engineer formerly with Spring R&D at VMware and a contributor to Spring AI, Spring Boot, Spring Data, Spring Framework, and Spring Session, this book combines deep Spring expertise with hands-on AI experience. You start with the foundations of AI and Spring AI, then move into building applications that translate messages in real time, process audio, identify songs, and compare model reasoning in game-based scenarios. You also explore model options, observability, testing, extensions, and autonomous workflows so you can move beyond prototypes and build reliable applications.
By the end of this book, you will be comfortable using Spring AI to design, develop, evaluate, and refine intelligent Java applications for a wide range of use cases.
[h2]What You Will Learn[/h2]
