ChatBot using Spring AI and OpenAI

A conversational ChatBot built with Spring Boot and Spring AI that uses OpenAI’s language models to answer domain-specific questions — demonstrated here with a movie knowledge use case.

Key Concepts

  • Prompt Engineering — crafting structured prompts to guide the model toward accurate, context-aware responses
  • Spring AI — Spring’s abstraction layer for integrating AI models cleanly into Java applications
  • OpenAI — GPT-based language model powering the conversational responses

Prerequisites

Export your OpenAI API key as an environment variable before running:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key_here

Running the App

mvn clean install spring-boot:run

Testing the ChatBot

Send a question about a movie via the REST endpoint:

curl --location 'http://localhost:9190/movies/ai/chat?aboutMovie=lordofthering'

Recently, I have been delving into a specific use case that involves consuming a voice REST endpoint using the ESP32 microcontroller. This task requires not only utilizing the capabilities of the ESP32 but also ensuring that the device is connected to a Wi-Fi network for seamless communication with the endpoint.

Data mocking using Faker

Ideally, test data is of priority and the project teams always face an issue in getting the relevant and realistic test data for pre-production activities. More issues(refresh of data; data manipulations etc.,) arise, when programs consume data from a shared environment. Sometimes, requirements of data varies and a new set of data should be replicated through external tools and technologies. Many commercial data mocking/stubbing tools are available in the market, but as a open source lover, I recommend using Faker library.
