## Description

For over a year, we haven't stopped talking about AI.

As Spring developers, we have an ever-expanding range of tools and frameworks that make integrating AI into business applications more seamless than ever - without needing Python!

But where should you start as a Spring developer? What real-world use cases can you tackle with AI? Should you directly integrate models like OpenAI, Gemini, or Llama, or choose a framework that simplifies the implementation?

Join this session to explore the latest advancements in building intelligent Spring applications and learn about powerful frameworks such as LangChain4j, Spring AI, and Semantic Kernel, and how they compare.
