TOPIC ABSTRACT
Spring AI Recipes: Practical Patterns for Building Intelligent Applications
Building applications with Spring AI opens the door to powerful new capabilities—but it also introduces new patterns, challenges, and design decisions. In this session, we’ll explore a curated collection of “Spring AI recipes”: focused, practical solutions to common problems encountered when working with LLMs, tools, memory, and agentic workflows in Spring applications.
Through a series of concise, real-world examples, you’ll learn how to implement patterns such as conversational memory, tool integration, structured output handling, and multi-step task orchestration. Each recipe is designed to be immediately applicable and grounded in real development scenarios, helping you move from experimentation to production-ready design.
Whether you’re just getting started with Spring AI or looking to refine your approach, you’ll leave with a set of proven techniques and a clearer understanding of how to build robust, maintainable AI-powered systems with Spring.
