Bootiful Spring AI

The age of artificial intelligence (because the search for regular intelligence hasn't gone well..) is nearly at hand, and it's everywhere! But is it in your application? It should be. AI is about integration, and here the Java and Spring communities come second to nothing. In this talk, we'll demystify the concepts of modern day Artificial Intelligence, and look at its integration with the white hot new Spring AI project, a framework that builds on the richness of Spring Boot to extend them to the wide world of AI engineering. We'll dive into agentic patterns, integration opportunities with MCP, and so much more.

Tentatively: this talk will include Dr. Mark Pollack, Christian Tsolov, and AWS' James Ward
