Spring AI and Embeddings

Note: This video was created with a much older, pre-1.0.0 version of Spring AI. Things have changed dramatically since that time. I keep it around for reference, but I have not yet had opportunity to create an updated version of this video.

That said, the session I presented at the jChampions conference is fairly current (although Spring AI is still pre-1.0 and subject to change). Therefore, consider https://www.youtube.com/live/TPY1WYHDNho as the most current content until Spring AI changes and I have to create yet another updated video.

Following up on a video I posted recently (   • Introducing Spring AI  ) , in this video I show how to use embeddings and a vector store with Spring AI to be able to ask questions about subjects that the LLM has not been trained on. Specifically, I show how to augment the prompt with the rules for a game called Burger Battle so that I can ask questions about how the game is played.

Incidentally, if you're curious about what Burger Battle is, it is a fun card game created by Andrew Heath. The official website is at https://www.andrew-heath.com/burgerba... and you can also find it on Board Game Geek at https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2....

The original Burger Battle is now out of print, but Andrew is running a Kickstarter through September 27, 2023 for Burger Battle II and if you pledge support for it, there's an option for getting the original Burger Battle game as well. Go to https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/... for more details.

If you want to learn more about developing with Spring and Spring Boot, check out my book, available wherever tech books are sold or specifically at either of these two URLs:

Or, for something completely different (but still loosely related to AI) have a look at my book on developing voice interfaces for Alexa:
