You've got data, your leadership wants to get more value from it, so they ask you to "add AI" to it.

Now what do you do?

@spring-ai.bsky.social makes that easy!

@starbuxman.joshlong.com is showing just how easy it can be!

#SpringAI #SpringOneTour
Josh Long showing Spring AI, vectorizing data, provide that data to LLMs, using tools/functions/MCP, to a room full of developers at a large financial institution.
