Spring AI Recipes
I've collected several step-by-step recipes for cooking up Spring AI magic. I'm sharing them here.
Building a Text-Based Chat Loop Around ChatClient
When working with Spring AI, it’s often useful to have a quick way to experiment — trying prompts, testing tools, or observing how conversational behavior evolves.
Instead of writing one-off test code, a better approach is to create a simple interactive chat loop around ChatClient.
Composing ChatClient Behavior
As you add several tools, advisors, and default user/system messages to ChatClient, the code can get a little unwieldy. In this recipe I
show how to keep your ChatClient setup neat and tidy, as well as how to conditionally enable tools and advisors through configuration properties.
Logging LLM Requests and Responses
Understanding LLM behavior starts with visibility. This recipe shows two ways to inspect requests and responses sent between your application and the LLM.
