What it is

Build an AI application using code with Spring-projects' Spring-AI.

What you can make with it

Automations like adding new customers to a Notion database and sending them a welcome email via Resend.

How it helps

Spring-AI helps you build, deploy, and manage AI applications efficiently, especially for those already familiar with Java and the Spring framework.

Real use case example

"A founder uses Spring-AI to automate customer onboarding by writing a Java script that integrates with their Notion database and a Mailgun email service. They write and deploy the code, configure Spring-AI to watch their Notion database, and receive an email notification whenever a new customer signs up."

If you're new

When you're new to AI and want a gentle introduction with a solid development framework.

If you're senior

For experienced Java developers who already use the Spring framework and want to incorporate AI into their projects.

Common confusion cleared up

Spring-AI is designed to work seamlessly with existing Spring projects, but it may require additional setup and configuration.
