Cache Spring AI in your onboarding assistant with Crowkis
Building onboarding assistants on Spring AI? Add a semantic cache so every new hire asking the same first questions stop costing full price.
Onboarding assistants built on Spring AI share one problem: every new hire asking the same first questions. 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 onboarding assistants logic.
Spring AI + Crowkis
base_url = "http://127.0.0.1:6380/v1" # Crowkis gateway, semantic cache in front
In plain words: The onboarding assistants 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. Community edition ships at full power, free to run.
