Spring AI Explained — ChatClient, RAG, Advisors, and Every Core Component
Spring AI is an abstraction layer that integrates large language models (LLMs) into Spring Boot applications without hardcoding specific AI providers. It features components like ChatClient for handling requests and responses, and PromptTemplate for managing structured prompts. Additionally, the EmbeddingModel enhances semantic search capabilities by converting text into vectors that represent meaning.

- ▪ChatClient is designed for easy interaction with LLMs, managing request-response cycles efficiently.
- ▪PromptTemplate helps maintain readable and maintainable prompts by separating structure from data.
