Java Strikes Back: Engineering the Agentic Era
Java is leading the shift from prompt-based AI to agent-based systems, leveraging frameworks like LangChain4j for robust, reliable, and testable solutions. Agentic design enforces structure and control, making AI interactions production-ready. This talk explores how Java's strengths make it ideal for building the next generation of intelligent systems.

AI systems are moving beyond prompts to agents that plan, act and interact. And this time, Java is not catching up, it’s leading. Frameworks like LangChain4j, Embabel and KOOG bring agentic capabilities with the strengths Java is built on: type safety, structure, reliability and testability.
Agents aren’t a passing hype. They are a necessary design pattern for robust AI systems, enforcing separation of concerns, controlled execution flows and human-in-the-loop checkpoints. They make complex AI interactions predictable, auditable and production ready.
This talk shows how the Java ecosystem is turning agentic design into a disciplined engineering approach, and why the next generation of intelligent systems will be written in Java.
