Agentic workflows that have AI models iterate, revise their work, and leverage tools deliver significantly better results than typical non-agentic prompting approaches.

Even using an earlier model like GPT-3.5 with an agentic workflow can outperform a more advanced model like GPT-4 without an agent …

All of us marvelled by the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), but standalone LLMs have proven to come with their own set of limitations. In the domain of prompt engineering, we got a major breakthrough with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). In this session let us see what is RAG? And …

In the rapidly evolving landscape of software development, traditional Java persistence solutions are starting to show their age, leaving critical gaps that hinder innovation and efficiency. Join us for an insightful talk on “Missing Pieces in Java Persistence,” where we’ll explore …

Technical debt from outdated dependencies can quietly destabilize even the most robust applications. This talk explores a proactive approach to tackling this issue within CI/CD pipelines. By leveraging tools like the Maven Versions plugin for automatic version detection and the Enforcer plugin to …

In a world increasingly driven by digital interactions, the need for secure, efficient, and user-friendly authentication methods is paramount. This session explores cutting-edge techniques for implementing passwordless logins using Passkey and WebAuthn protocols, redefining how users authenticate …

In today’s world of too much more work always on the developers plate, updates, upgrades, migrations, and refactoring are often seen as tedious, secondary work. But with frameworks/tools like OpenRewrite, we can turn these tasks into rewarding, strategic parts of a developer’s role.

OpenRewrite is a …

We have been building monolithic applications for many years and have faced some challenges. Microservices architecture emerged as an alternative to solve the difficulties imposed by monolithic architecture, but it brings its own set of challenges. What about combining the best of both worlds? …

In this talk, we will explore the intricacies of Java virtual threads, a revolutionary feature in modern Java development aimed at simplifying concurrency and improving performance. Unlike typical discussions that focus on how to use virtual threads, this session will take a deep dive into the …

Summary of the Workshop

The “Building RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) Chatbot” workshop offers a comprehensive, hands-on experience in developing intelligent chatbots that combine retrieval-based and generative AI techniques. Participants will learn to harness the power of LLMs and …

Codelab illustrates the concept with the address completion and standardization use case. For this we will be building a Java Cloud Function that does the following tasks:

Takes latitude and longitude coordinates Calls the Google Maps Geocoding API to get corresponding addresses Uses Gemini 1.0 Pro …
