In our previous blog, Operationalize generative AI applications on AWS: Part I , we covered the basics of how companies are using generative AI and Large Language Model Operations (LLMOps) on AWS. The architecture that we describe here is a solution guidance to create non-player characters (NPC) for games using generative AI services.

Whenever an NPC is about to dump backstory and exposition on you, they'll ask you to take a seat. During big long quest chains, there are periodic quest stages where you have to wait 1-2 in-game days before checking in with the NPC again. Diegetically, the NPC has to prepare a machine or potion, or get supplies, or whatever.
