ABOUT

Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) are redefining how developers build applications — from dynamic chat interfaces to intelligent agents. With the release of Spring AI, Java developers can now seamlessly integrate these capabilities into familiar Spring Boot projects.
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll move beyond basic prompts and explore how to:

• Leverage the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
• Expose tools via annotations
• Structure and orchestrate agent workflows
• Connect agents to external data sources
  — all using pure Java and Spring Boot.

### 🎙️ Speaker(s):

Jean - Vincent Gennade, (JV) is a Full-Stack Engineer at Zenika with over a decade of professional experience building robust, enterprise-grade applications.
