Simplified AI Integration

The fastest way to build AI features into your Java apps.

Unified APIs for any model

Use Google AI, OpenAI, Claude, Bedrock, and Ollama through one SDK. Switch models with a single line change.

Composable workflows

Structure chat, RAG, tool use, and agents with built-in primitives. Define type-safe flows with input/output schemas.

Production-ready tools

Local dev UI, debugging, tracing with OpenTelemetry, and deployment to Spring Boot, Jetty, or Firebase Cloud Functions.

20+ Plugins

Model providers, vector databases, MCP, evaluators, and server frameworks — all as simple plugin integrations.

Deploy anywhere
