Before getting started with Spring AI, it is important to understand how it fits into the broader Spring ecosystem. Spring AI is designed to simplify the integration of AI capabilities into modern applications by providing abstractions over popular AI models and services such as OpenAI, vector databases, and embedding models.

With Spring AI, developers can easily build intelligent applications like chatbots, knowledge assistants, and recommendation systems without worrying about low-level API complexities. It offers seamless integration with Spring Boot, supports prompt templating, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and enables structured interactions with large language models.

In this section, we will explore a series of hand-written tutorials covering core concepts and real-world implementations of Spring AI. From building simple chat applications to advanced AI-powered systems using vector search and embeddings, these tutorials will help you get hands-on experience and master Spring AI step by step.
