Reminder: About Naija Java user group Monthly Session: Building AI That Actually Reasons How do we transition AI from simple responders to sophisticated reasoning systems? The answer is coming on the 28th of March. I'm excited to remind you about our upcoming Naija Java user group (Naija JUG) Monthly Session, where we're moving beyond basic prompt-response cycles to explore the architecture of autonomous, self-hosted AI agents. Session Spotlight: Join us for an exclusive technical deep-dive with DaShaun Carter, Spring Developer Advocate, as he architects a high-performance, private AI stack using Spring AI and Ollama—running entirely on your local machine. Session Title: The Self-Hosted Agent: Architecting Autonomous AI with Spring AI and Ollama What DaShaun Carter Will Unpack: Privacy First: Running sophisticated models locally with zero cloud data leakage Giving Models "Hands": Safe file system navigation and shell command execution using Spring AI Agent Utils Goal-Oriented Action Planning (GOAP): Dynamic reasoning-based agents with Embabel Java at the Core: Leveraging Java's robust type system for complex domain problem-solving Event Details: Date: Saturday, 28th March Time: 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM WAT Venue: Google Meet Register here: [luma.com/yqk9da5h] Connect with Naija JUG: WhatsApp: [lnkd.in/dc2nBBFy] Email: naijajug.community@naijajug.org LinkedIn: [Naija Java User Group](lnkd.in/dkaGWk9D) If you're an architect, developer, or tech enthusiast curious about the intersection of Java and autonomous AI—especially with data privacy at the forefront—this session is unmissable.
