Some truth here but “having data in legacy systems” is a fact of life. AI that doesn’t work with that…doesn’t work. We don’t get to declare that only greenfield is valid.

With coding agents, every developer's job will include more and more management. Like any good manager, they must take responsibility. Failing to understand what their subordinates are doing will end badly. However, managed agents don't have feelings. That truly IS different.

LLMs have a genius for comments that add nothing, make code harder to read and inflate future token consumption on AI ops. Code should be self documenting as far as possible. Comment things that are non-obvious.

With so many "AI transformations" failing it's time to ask What if you could build your AI strategy on what actually works? Considering your existing code, skills and domain understanding rather than starting from scratch medium.com/@springrod/gro… Spring Boot Java #genai Georges Saab

What is it about Gen AI that makes people so naive and regularly proclaim that "X changes everything?" Big changes take time. "We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten" - Bill Gates

Pleased to see my blogs on Building Better AI Agents in Java Than Python continue to gain traction. Java Spring Boot CrewAI eM-b@bel Georges Saab The JVM is great for building #genai agents. Java devs, skip the Python prototype. medium.com/@springrod/you… medium.com/@springrod/bui…

We're thinking of including a "create an agent" capability in the #embabel java-agent-template so you can describe what you want and it generates code, informed by latest API and docs. Of course the agent would be an Embabel example itself. Spring Boot Java #genai Siva

The OWASP Top 10 for Gen AI is a useful reference when thinking about introducing LLMs into business processes. Number 8 is one more argument for agent framework orchestration versus trusting God models with too many tools. Excessive Agency genai.owasp.org/llmrisk2023-24…

Great post by Blair Hudson on why chat was a false start. "Chat interfaces plateaued adoption because chat interfaces aren’t where the work actually happens. You can’t run a hospital out of a chat window.... For most jobs, chat was the wrong abstraction" sublight.substack.com/p/chat-interfa…

I know most people here won’t believe it, but I can guarantee you that in 2 years, the majority of AI Agent workloads will run on the JVM.

If you are curious to know how to use OpenAI Compatible models such as OpenRouter, Gemini, etc with #Embabel Agent Framework, take a look at this sample application. github.com/sivaprasadredd… #Java #AI #GenAI #AiAgents Cc Rod Johnson
