Cache Spring AI in your customer support bot with Crowkis
Building customer support bots on Spring AI? Add a semantic cache so repeat questions from every customer, all day stop costing full price.
Customer support bots built on Spring AI share one problem: repeat questions from every customer, all day. Each repeat is a full-price Spring AI call for an answer you already have.
Put a semantic cache in front. Point Spring AI's base URL at the Crowkis OpenAI-compatible gateway, or wrap the call in get-or-compute, and reworded repeats are served from cache, no rewrite of your customer support bots logic.
Spring AI + Crowkis
base_url = "http://127.0.0.1:6380/v1" # Crowkis gateway, semantic cache in front
In plain words: The customer support bots keep working exactly as before; the repeats just stop hitting the model.
On repetitive traffic this cuts costs up to 60-70% on repetitive workloads, and every hit carries a confidence score so reuse stays safe. Runs self-hosted with zero egress, nothing leaves your machine.
