Sprout — our open-source AI framework for Java

AI consulting for Java & Spring Boot

Bring LLMs, retrieval and agents to the Java and Spring Boot apps you already run — with hands-on consulting and Sprout, our open-source framework you can start using today.

Services

AI consulting, built for Java teams

Your platform already runs on Java. We help you add AI to it with your head screwed on — working with your architecture, not against it.

LLM integration

We wire models like Claude, GPT or open-source LLMs into your existing Java services — behind clean, decoupled APIs that won't tangle up your codebase.

RAG over your data

Semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation over your databases, documents and vector stores — and your data never has to leave your own infrastructure.

Agents & automation

We design tool-using agents (function calling) that act on your business logic safely, predictably, and with full observability.

AI architecture & infra

Where models run, cost control, caching, evaluation, security and deployment — all designed around the stack you already have.

Tailored use cases

Internal assistants, classification, data extraction, automated support, product copilots — from first prototype to production.

Knowledge transfer

The AI never stays a black box. Depending on what suits you, that's thorough documentation, a guided code handover, or hands-on sessions with your developers.

These are the engagements we take on most often — but it's not a closed list. If your project needs something else where Java meets AI, tell us about it and we'll figure it out together.

Open source

New & evolving

Sprout AI Framework

The foundation we build on. Sprout is a young, fast-moving open-source framework that gives Java developers the building blocks for AI — model access, RAG, agents and tools — through an API that feels native to Java and Spring Boot.

Sprout is new and improving fast. It grows on two tracks at once: its own roadmap, and the real needs of the teams we work with — so features often ship to production first, then flow straight back into the open-source project.

  • Clean abstractions over LLM providers
  • First-class RAG and vector-store support
  • Function calling and agent orchestration
  • Idiomatic for Java and Spring Boot
  • Open source, and free to use

Process

From idea to production, step by step

A pragmatic, low-risk approach that fits how Java teams actually work.

01

Discovery

We dig into your Java system, your data and the use case — then decide together what genuinely creates value and what's realistic with AI today.

02

Proof of concept

We build a working prototype on Sprout to prove out results and cost before anyone commits to more.

03

Integration

We bring the solution into your platform — APIs, security, observability and tests — woven into the architecture you already have.

04

Production & handover

We deploy, measure and hand over with the documentation and support your team needs to own and evolve the AI — at whatever level of involvement works for you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What if I need something that isn't listed here?

Just ask. The services on this page are our most common starting points, not a fixed menu. We're open to almost any AI-and-Java work in this space — from a one-off prototype to ongoing engineering — and we'll tell you honestly if it isn't the right fit.

Do I need Sprout to work with you?

No. Sprout is the foundation we usually build on, but it's entirely optional. We adapt to your stack and your constraints — we can use it, extend it, or work without it altogether.

Is the Sprout AI Framework really free?

Yes. It's open source and free to use. Read the code, use it in your projects, contribute on GitHub. Consulting is separate, and optional.

Is Sprout production-ready?

Sprout is new and evolving fast. It's already useful for real projects, and when something's missing we often just build it — both for our clients and back into the open-source project.

Which AI models do you work with?

We're provider-agnostic: Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI, and self-hosted open-source models. We help you choose based on cost, privacy and performance.

Does my data leave my infrastructure?

We design privacy-first. We can keep your data inside your environment and run self-hosted models whenever that's what you need.
