Spring AI Playground: A Web UI for Java Developers Now with RAG Chat Support

[JM-Lab]

Hi all,

I'd like to introduce Spring AI Playground, an open-source project I created to help Java developers easily experiment with and integrate AI models. This project provides a self-hosted web UI for seamless interaction.

Recently Added: Chat Using RAG

Support for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)-based chat has been recently added. A simple UI lets you configure and run ETL pipelines, enabling developers to load documents and immediately use them in RAG-powered chat flows.

This new feature significantly enhances the accuracy and relevance of AI responses by grounding them in your own data.

The playground offers a seamless environment for exploring AI-powered features—whether you're working with local LLMs, vector databases, prompts, or RAG chats.

Upcoming Feature: MCP (Model Context Protocol) Playground

A user interface implementing Spring AI's Model Context Protocol for both client and server sides. This feature will provide a visual way to manage context between AI models and applications, allowing developers to configure, monitor, and debug model context flows with an intuitive interface.

I hope this project helps anyone exploring AI integration in Java applications!
