Building Intelligent Spring Applications with Spring AI

by Craig Walls

Thursday 9:00 AM

In the workshop, we will be using…

  • Java 17+
  • An IDE of your choosing (I will be using IntelliJ IDEA)
  • OpenAI's API (you will need an account and a small amount of credit $5 is more than enough).

Optionally, you may choose to use a different AI provider other than OpenAI such as Anthropic, Mistral, or Google Vertex (Gemini), but you will need an account with them and some reasonable amount of credit with them. Or, you may choose to install Ollama (https://ollama.com/), but if you do be sure to install a reasonable model (llama3:latest or gemma:9b) before you arrive.

Know that if you choose to use something other than OpenAI, your workshop experience will vary.
