How This Broadcom Dev Uses Spring to Power AI Workflows | Josh Long

The AI Native Dev - from Copilot today to AI Native Software Development tomorrow

What happens when the OG Spring Dev, Josh Long, teams up with Simon Maple on AI Native Dev?
You get a front row seat to them building a Spring powered app that showcases the future of AI integration.
While building the app, they discuss:

• why developers are adopting Spring AI
• how Spring is becoming the go-to for AI engineering
• why companies route users from humans to IVRs
• understanding model context protocol

AI Native Dev, powered by Tessl and our global dev community, is your go-to podcast for solutions in software development in the age of AI. Tune in as we engage with engineers, founders, and open-source innovators to talk all things AI, security, and development.
