This hands-on course will teach you how to integrate cutting-edge AI capabilities into your Spring Boot applications using the Spring AI framework and OpenAI.
You’ll master everything from building your first chat-based app to using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Tool Calling, Structured Output Conversion, MCP (Model Context Protocol), and even Speech-to-Text, Text-to-Speech, and Image Generation — all using Java and Spring Boot.
From understanding how LLMs work to deploying production-ready AI features with observability, testing, and advisor-based safety, this course is packed with powerful demos, clean explanations, and practical techniques to bring intelligence to your backend.
Whether you’re a Java developer, Spring enthusiast, or backend engineer exploring Generative AI, this course will guide you step-by-step with best practices and battle-tested code.
