OJUG Demo - Spring Meets AI

A big thank you to everyone who came out to the Orlando Java Users Group tonight. Wow, 6 years since my last presentation!

The topic tonight was “Spring Meets AI: A Java developer’s guide to LLMs.” Hopefully everyone found it useful - I definitely apprecated all the great questions!
