Are you a Java developer curious about building AI apps, but feel restricted by the prevalence of Python and JavaScript tools? This talk is for you. We'll explore Java AI libraries like Semantic Kernel, LangChain4j, and Spring AI, demystifying how to get started with AI engineering right within your favorite language. Through hands-on code examples using Spring Boot, React, and Hilla, we'll show you how to build your own AI-powered app in Java. By the end of this session, you'll have a comprehensive overview of your options and the practical skills needed to start building intelligent applications in a Java ecosystem.
