Spring AI Alibaba

中文版本

An AI application framework for Java developers built on top of Spring AI that provides seamless integration with Alibaba Cloud QWen LLM services and cloud-native infrastructures.

Get Started

Please refer to quick start for how to quickly add generative AI to your Spring Boot applications.

Overall, it takes only two steps to turn your Spring Boot application into an intelligent agent:

1. Add 'spring-ai-alibaba-starter' dependency to your project.

<dependency>
	<groupId>com.alibaba.cloud.ai</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-ai-alibaba-starter</artifactId>
	<version>1.0.0-M2</version>
</dependency>

NOTICE! Since spring-ai related packages haven't been published to the central repo yet, it's needed to add the following maven repository to your project in order to successfully resolve artifacts like spring-ai-core.

<repositories>
	<repository>
		<id>spring-milestones</id>
		<name>Spring Milestones</name>
		<url>https://repo.spring.io/milestone</url>
		<snapshots>
			<enabled>false</enabled>
		</snapshots>
	</repository>
</repositories>

2. Inject the default ChatClient Bean to regular Controller beans.

@RestController
public class ChatController {

	private final ChatClient chatClient;

	public ChatController(ChatClient.Builder builder) {
		this.chatClient = builder.build();
	}

	@GetMapping("/chat")
	public String chat(String input) {
		return this.chatClient.prompt()
				.user(input)
				.call()
				.content();
	}
}
