> **Watch the artifact names.** 1.0 GA dropped the old `spring-ai-<x>-spring-boot-starter`
> coordinates. The pattern is now `spring-ai-starter-model-<provider>` (e.g. `-model-anthropic`,
> `-model-openai`) and `spring-ai-starter-vector-store-<store>`. Agents trained on pre-GA Spring AI
> will emit the dead names — they resolve to nothing in Maven Central.

## ChatClient — Basic Usage

```java
@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class DocumentSummaryService {

    private final ChatClient chatClient;

    public String summarize(String content) {
        return chatClient.prompt()
            .user(u -> u.text("Summarize the following document in 3 bullet points:\n\n{content}")
                .param("content", content))
            .call()
            .content();
    }

    // With system prompt
    public String analyzeFinancial(String document, String language) {
        return chatClient.prompt()
            .system("You are a financial analyst. Respond in {language}.")
            .system(s -> s.param("language", language))
            .user(document)
            .call()
            .content();
    }
}
```

## ChatClient Bean Configuration

```java
@Configuration
public class AiConfig {

    @Bean
    public ChatMemory chatMemory() {
        // 1.0 GA: InMemoryChatMemory is GONE. Use MessageWindowChatMemory —
        // it caps history to a sliding window and defaults to an in-memory repository.
        return MessageWindowChatMemory.builder()
            .maxMessages(20)
            .build();
    }

    @Bean
    public ChatClient chatClient(ChatClient.Builder builder, ChatMemory chatMemory) {
        return builder
            .defaultSystem("You are a helpful assistant for an e-commerce platform.")
            .defaultAdvisors(
                MessageChatMemoryAdvisor.builder(chatMemory).build(), // GA: builder, not new(...)
                new SimpleLoggerAdvisor() // logs prompts/responses
            )
            .build();
    }
}
```

## Prompt Templates (externalized)

```java
// src/main/resources/prompts/analyze-order.st
// Analyze this order and identify any anomalies:
// Customer: {customer}
// Items: {items}
// Total: {total}
// Flag any unusual patterns.

@Service
public class OrderAnalysisService {

    @Value("classpath:prompts/analyze-order.st")
    private Resource promptTemplate;

    public String analyzeOrder(Order order) {
        return chatClient.prompt()
            .user(u -> u.text(promptTemplate)
                .param("customer", order.getCustomerEmail())
                .param("items", order.getItems().toString())
                .param("total", order.getTotal()))
            .call()
            .content();
    }
}
```

## Structured Output

```java
// Define the target record
public record OrderClassification(
    String category,
    String priority,
    List<String> tags,
    boolean requiresManualReview
) {}

@Service
public class OrderClassifier {

    public OrderClassification classify(String orderDescription) {
        return chatClient.prompt()
            .user("Classify this order: " + orderDescription)
            .call()
            .entity(OrderClassification.class); // Spring AI handles JSON parsing
    }
}
```

## RAG Pipeline

```java
@Configuration
public class RagConfig {

    // No manual VectorStore bean — the spring-ai-starter-vector-store-pgvector
    // starter auto-configures one. Just inject it. (The old `new PgVectorStore(...)`
    // constructor is removed in GA; if you must build one, use PgVectorStore.builder(...).)

    @Bean
    public ChatClient ragChatClient(ChatClient.Builder builder, VectorStore vectorStore) {
        return builder
            .defaultAdvisors(
                QuestionAnswerAdvisor.builder(vectorStore)
                    .searchRequest(SearchRequest.builder().topK(5).build()) // GA: builder, not defaults().withTopK()
                    .build()
            )
            .build();
    }
}

@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class KnowledgeService {

    private final VectorStore vectorStore;
    private final ChatClient ragChatClient;

    // Ingest documents
    public void ingest(List<String> documents) {
        List<Document> docs = documents.stream()
            .map(content -> new Document(content))
            .toList();
        vectorStore.add(docs);
    }

    // Query with RAG
    public String ask(String question) {
        return ragChatClient.prompt()
            .user(question)
            .call()
            .content();
    }
}
```

## Streaming Responses

```java
@GetMapping(value = "/stream", produces = MediaType.TEXT_EVENT_STREAM_VALUE)
public Flux<String> stream(@RequestParam String prompt) {
    return chatClient.prompt()
        .user(prompt)
        .stream()
        .content();
}
```
