From zero to AI: Build your flexible AI assistant with Quarkus in just one day!
by Holger Tiemeyer, Axel Feix
Are you ready to experience the exciting intersection of Quarkus, Artificial Intelligence, and modern software architecture?
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to build a fully functional, customizable AI assistant – in just one day.
Starting with an overview of Quarkus, the cutting-edge Java framework designed for high performance and cloud-native development, we will quickly move from setup to mastering its core features. You will explore the architectural principles that make Quarkus ideal for scalable, containerized applications and microservices.
By the afternoon, we will shift focus to AI integration, enabling you to connect powerful external models like e.g. OpenAI GPT to your application and build a responsive, intelligent assistant capable of adapting to multiple use cases. We will also dive into the architectural patterns required for building robust AI-driven systems, ensuring flexibility, maintainability, and high availability.
Throughout the day, you will not only explore the fundamentals of Quarkus but also learn how to leverage its lightning-fast startup times, low memory usage, and seamless containerization capabilities. Whether your goal is to build an internal assistant for enterprise platforms like SharePoint or Confluence, or to design a conversational AI solution for customer support, this workshop will guide you through every step of the process, with a strong emphasis on architectural best practices.
This session is tailored for developers, architects, and tech leads looking to combine the power of modern Java development with AI innovation. Prior knowledge of Java will be helpful, but no prior experience with Quarkus or AI libraries is required. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have built a modular, production-ready AI assistant that embodies scalability, flexibility, and performance, all powered by Quarkus and integrated with the latest in AI technology—with a clear architectural foundation to support future growth.
Join us, and see how Quarkus meets AI and modern architecture to create something extraordinary in just one day!
