Codepocalypse Now: LangChain4j vs. Spring AI

Talkat JNation 2026 · 2026-05-26..05-27· [java, ai-assisted-development]

Live coding builds an agentic Java app that reads calendar and attendees, generates tailored excuses, verifies them with a judge loop, and only sends emails after human confirmation; it uses LangChain4j and JetBrains Cook 1.0 plus a fake calendar, contacts and Gmail tool, plus persistent chat memory (SQLite) for six prior conversations. A lightweight classifier routes intent, a powerful model drafts text, a verifier loops until success, and a Tessel skill raises baseline correctness from ~25% by about fourfold.
