👉 Building a Multi-Agent AI D&D with Spring AI
by Muhammed Salih Güler
Ever wondered what happens when you give multiple AI agents different roles and let them collaborate? In this session, we'll build a multi-agent system that creates and runs a Dungeons & Dragons campaign! We will see the Spring AI 1.0 in action with Amazon Bedrock's Claude Sonnet 4, we'll create an AI "Dungeon Master's Guild" featuring specialized agents: a Dungeon Master as storyteller, World Builder creating locations and NPCs, Combat Director handling tactical encounters, and Quest Weaver designing story arcs. We'll explore MCP servers that act as magical tools - dice rollers, monster manuals, and spell compendiums that agents can discover and use dynamically. You'll see live character creation with audience input, real-time world building, AI agents having actual conversations, and a complete D&D session where the audience becomes the adventuring party. Learn multi-agent system architecture, Kotlin-specific AI patterns, MCP integration, and best practices for orchestrating multiple AI models. No D&D experience required - just bring your curiosity for AI and love of Kotlin!
👉 (Un)usual use cases for Kotlin/Wasm
by Misha Kulak
Kotlin 2.2.20 just dropped and Kotlin/Wasm is now in Beta! But what exactly is WebAssembly and why should you care? In this 30 minutes talk we'll explore different ways you can use Kotlin/Wasm and see where it fits in the modern software stack.
👉 The Transactional Outbox: From Polling to Streaming
by Andrei Sukharev
The Transactional Outbox pattern is the common way to ensure events stay consistent between PostgreSQL and Kafka. But there are different ways to implement it, each with trade-offs. In this talk, I’ll show how to implement it in Kotlin - from a simple polling job to a streaming solution based on Write-Ahead Log.
