Overview

This Spring AI training teaches developers how to create intelligent applications using state-of-the-art AI models and the Spring AI framework. Participants learn how to integrate popular AI models from Open AI, Amazon, and other leading AI providers, fine-tune model behavior, build chat applications with natural language processing and generation, create stunning visuals with image generation, implement semantic search, and employ advanced techniques like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and SQL generation.

Skills Gained

  • Include and configure Spring AI dependencies within a Spring Boot application
  • Configure Spring AI to work seamlessly with various foundational models
  • Utilize the ChatModel and ChatClient classes to interact with different models
  • Implement effective state management for chat-based foundational models directly from your application code
  • Control the output of foundational models, tailoring it to produce Java objects or program code that align with your application's requirements
  • Understand and apply various forms of prompt engineering, including single-shot, few-shot, Chain of Thought, React Flow, and more
  • Leverage embeddings stored in vector stores to perform semantic search, enhancing the relevance and accuracy of AI-generated content
  • Use Advisors to implement RAG, improving the quality and specificity of generated outputs
  • Execute image generation tasks from within a Spring Boot application, expanding the range of AI-driven features
  • Develop applications capable of generating SQL code to perform complex database queries autonomously
  • Implement and manage local functions within your AI-driven Spring Boot applications

Prerequisites

All learners must be familiar with Java and Spring Boot.

Reviews

Course was great and informative. The instructor had a good flow and was very personable.

The training was great . But i expected some of the Networking concepts would be covered in this certification .

The training was very good to understand the concepts and how to set up things .

The class was very vast paced however the teacher was very good at checking in on us while giving us time to complete the labs.

They are very good and made sure we had all the appropriate materials for class.
