Spring & AI WITHOUT Spring AI
The Spring AI project is in its infancy and promises to be quite helpful when it’s ready for prime time. Regular core Spring, however, brings many useful tools to the table for interacting with any restful web service, and the AI tools are no exception.
In this talk, we’ll use HTTP Exchange Interfaces, the included Jackson JSON parser, Java records, text blocks, and more to build clients for several of OpenAI’s services, including ChatGPT, DALL-E, and Whisper. All these features can be added to your Spring applications right away, while you wait for the refinements coming in the Spring AI project.
