Hey guys, welcome back to the channel. If you are new here, my name is Alex and in this video, we are going to take a quick look at Spring AI, one of the newest spring projects. As of this video, we can use an early snapshot version that provides a unified interface for open AI, allowing us to use chatGPT in our code. So let’s jump right in.
To get started, we will need an API key. You can create a new secret key in your OpenAI account by going to Personal > View API keys. In the IDE, we will use the default Spring Boot 3.1.3 and two dependencies: the Spring AI Open AI Spring Boot Starter (snapshot version) and Spring Boot’s Data Web.
In this tutorial, we will create an endpoint that generates websites on the fly. It may sound like a lot, but it’s actually not that much code. Let’s define a REST controller called ‘WebsiteController’ that requires the AI client. We will use the ‘websites’ endpoint and a path variable called ’topic’. The endpoint will produce HTML text.
The goal is to return a website for the given topic. To achieve this, we can invoke the AI’s ‘generate’ method with a string prompt. We want to generate a single-page website that looks visually appealing by using different colors and fonts. We also need to provide valid copy for the individual sections.
Once we have set up the application and defined the controller, we can start the application and test it in the browser. By accessing ‘http://localhost:8080/website/{topic}’, we can generate a website dynamically based on the given topic. For example, if we use ‘dentist’ as the topic, we will get a website for Dr. Smith Dental Clinic. Although the generated copy is currently placeholder text, the overall functionality is working.
In conclusion, Spring AI’s ability to generate dynamic websites opens up new possibilities for web development. By leveraging the power of artificial intelligence, we can create visually appealing websites with minimal code. While there is room for improvement in terms of the prompt and customization options, this project is definitely worth keeping an eye on. Give it a try and let us know what other ideas you come up with. Thanks for watching, consider subscribing, and see you in the next video!
