Hands-on build of an airline customer-service chatbot that integrates Spring Boot, React, LangChain4j, Hilla with OpenAI (GPT‑4o) streaming, an embedding model, and a vector store; app ingests a terms‑of‑service text split into 50‑token segments and stores embeddings in an in‑memory embedding store with a 1,000‑token chat memory window. Implemented callable tools getBookingDetails, changeBooking and cancelBooking that update an in‑memory bookings list; demo runs live and answers grounded queries, with minor latency and occasional “holding” behavior but overall successful.
