Explore practical implementation techniques using Spring Boot, vector databases, and locally running models to develop agentic LLM workflows. Master Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) flows for providing LLMs with proper context, implement multi-vector search for rapid context retrieval, and integrate Model Context Protocol (MCP) to allow your assistant direct file system access.
