Spring Ai Alibaba

Spring AI Alibaba is an open source agentic AI framework for Java developers. It builds on Spring AI and is presented as Alibaba Cloud's reference approach for writing AI applications on its Tongyi models and Bailian model platform. Its core concept is a directed acyclic graph, which lets developers assemble single agents, multi agent systems and complex workflows. The ecosystem has several components. The Agent Framework builds agents and multi agent applications with built in support for context engineering. Graph is a lower level orchestration framework and runtime for long running, stateful agents. Studio gives agents a visual chat window that shows reasoning and tool execution. Admin is a local toolkit for project management, runtime visualization, tracing and agent evaluation. A Spring AI extension layer adds items such as a DashScope chat model, tools and an MCP registry. The project also lists applications built with the framework: JManus, a Java implementation of Manus used inside many Alibaba Group applications; Copilot, an AI programming assistant agent; DataAgent, which converts natural language into SQL queries; and DeepResearch, a deep research tool built on the graph runtime. It is aimed at Java teams adopting AI native development. The framework is free open source software, available from GitHub, and the site publishes no paid plans. The site itself is written mostly in Chinese.
