- This post shows you how to use the SDK, walks through a complete Jakarta EE 11 sample application, and leaves you with concrete next steps to try it yourself
Summary
While it is true that Langchain4j empowered developers by disintermediating specific AI vendors, you still had a dependency on Langchain4j. Now, GitHub Copilot SDK for Java is the first truly framework agnostic way to drive AI from Java. The GitHub Copilot SDK for Java is a client library that empowers your server-side Java code to create Copilot agent sessions, register tools, send prompts, and receive structured responses—all programmatically. This post shows you how to use the SDK, walks through a complete Jakarta EE 11 sample application, and leaves you with concrete next steps to try it yourself.
