ChatClient
ExternSpring AI ChatClient provides a fluent, Spring Boot-native API for integrating AI models into Java applications, enabling both synchronous and streaming interactions through message-based prompts. It supports essential advisors for RAG, chat memory, structured outputs, and model-specific options, with seamless portability across providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and vector stores such as PGVector and Neo4j. This makes it invaluable for Spring developers building chatbots, document Q&A systems, and enterprise AI features, simplifying adoption while leveraging familiar patterns and auto-configuration.
