AI Agents & Tools Foundations

Teach your AI to use tools and perform actions in Java.

Expected Outcome

Ability to implement Function Calling and autonomous agents for automation today.

Target Audience

Developers wanting to move from passive chats to autonomous agents in their Java stack.

Prerequisites

Experience with Spring AI equivalent to 'Spring AI Jumpstart: Essentials' is required.

Curriculum & Highlights

Function Calling Design
Java Tool Definition
Agent Reasoning
Multi-step Workflows
Agent Error Handling
Detailed Description
A standard chat AI is passive, but agents can actively interact with their surrounding systems. Moving from just answering questions to performing tasks requires a robust architecture for Function Calling (Tool Calling) where the AI can make decisions and act on its own in the application today. This workshop teaches the foundations of autonomous agents in Spring AI through Active Learning. I demonstrate how to expose existing Java code as tools, handle multi-step reasoning, and build agents that can fetch real-time data or act in external systems with precision. We also explore the security and logical challenges in agent-based automation to ensure reliable results. You gain the knowledge to build agents that don't just talk, but actually deliver results by orchestrating tools and processes in a smart way here today in this course.

Expertise through Active Learning

Java and the Spring Framework have been my core focus for over 20 years. Today, my mission is primarily to help organizations step into the future by integrating intelligent agents and AI-driven features into modern Java systems.

Actlea stands for Active Learning – the philosophy that programming is best learned by writing code, not by watching slides. My workshops focus on intensive, hands-on exercises designed to solve real-world problems.

I deliver proven training concepts globally across all timezones. While I specialize in remote delivery, I love to travel for onsite workshops. My modules are ready for immediate impact but can be tailored to your team's specific requirements.
