"AI Solutions with Spring AI 2.0 and Java" [I/O]

[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome back to the Inside Java Podcast, the podcast about everything Java, brought to you by the team at Oracle that builds Java.

My name is Nicolai Parlog, and you are listening to the first episode of Input/Output.

This is our new show, where we talk to people outside of OpenJDK to bring you their perspectives and insights into what's happening in the Java ecosystem.

This inaugural episode is a conversation between Lise Rasch and Dan Vega that we recorded at JavaOne 2026 in March.

Lise is my colleague here in the Java Developer Advocacy team at Oracle and collaborator of the LangChain4j framework.

She's talking to Dan Vega, who is a Spring developer advocate at Broadcom, Java Champion, speaker, and author.

Dan is diving deep into AI, particularly Spring AI, and Lise's and his conversation starts there before branching out to deterministic agents, MCP service and skills, prompt engineering, and Java's richness for AI solutions.

Enjoy the episode.
