Look inside
Use Spring AI to add generative AI features like virtual assistants, text summaries, and suggestions to your Java applications.

Generative AI tools like ChatGPT cause an immediate jaw drop for almost everyone who encounters them. Until recently, though, Java developers have had few good tools for adding AI features to existing and new applications. Spring AI, an exciting new extension for Spring and Spring Boot, changes the equation. Spring AI provides generative AI capabilities natively within the framework, so you can stick with Java end-to-end. Spring AI in Action shows you how!

In Spring AI in Action you will:

  • Learn Spring AI from the ground up!
  • Create text summaries, virtual assistants and more in Spring Boot applications
  • RAG and other techniques to improve LLM responses
  • Text from images and images from text

Spring AI makes it much, much easier to add generative AI features to Spring applications. With this powerful framework extension, you can write familiar Java code to build AI features like virtual assistants, text summaries, and smart search suggestions.

about the book

Spring AI in Action introduces the reader to building generative AI applications with Spring AI. You’ll start with a simple “Hello AI world” example and quickly advance to more sophisticated techniques such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and enabling conversations with your project’s own documents and data. You’ll love author and Spring legend Craig Walls’ practical example-driven approach with an emphasis on getting stuff done.

You need some experience with Spring and Spring Boot. No Generative AI skills required.

“i was reading meap so it had some misprints but being an experienced developer i worked out the necessary changes in the code. the book is written pretty comprehensively, gives a good overview, exactly what i expected from it.”

Not worth....
October 9, 2024 by Chris (PL)
“Book contains just basic information about AI.
Nothing fancy. There are more descriptions how to connect to multiple AI engines than real valuable information.
Like a summary the connection to the AI is based on REST API with Bearer access token.
Rest of the description is completely pointless and useless.
I was super disappointed by reading this. Definitely not worth his price.”

Good quality of the content, but Spring AI is horrible bad publication
