Building Killer AI Agents on Your Spring Stack with Embabel

Rod Johnson - Embabel

Many AI agent frameworks assume you’re starting from scratch. You’re not. You have valuable domain models, battle-tested business logic, and production grade infrastructure. Why would you throw that away for a Python prototype?

In this hands-on, code-oriented talk, Rod will show how to build AI agents that fully leverage your existing Spring applications and domain models.

He’ll cover:

  • Decomposing complex workflows into manageable steps that can be orchestrated by the Embabel planner
  • Mixing and matching LLMs, including local models
  • Preserving type safety throughout your agent code
  • Safely exposing business logic to agents without compromising your architecture
  • Enhancing domain objects with LLM tool methods to minimize context size and keep sensitive data from reaching the model
  • Bringing the core Spring value of testability to your agents

All code shown will be available to fuel your own exploration.
