Spring AI provides a unified interface for integrating large language models into Spring Boot applications. This guide demonstrates setting up Google Cloud Vertex AI with Spring AI to implement chat functionality using Gemini models and text/image embedding capabilities. The integration requires enabling Vertex AI API, configuring authentication via Google Cloud CLI, and adding Spring AI dependencies. The tutorial covers creating services for chat interactions with conversation memory, converting text to embeddings, and processing multimodal content including images into vector representations for similarity searches.
