Explore how to create dynamic, AI-powered storytelling experiences using generative agents that can think, act, and adapt in real-time through this 41-minute conference talk from NDC London. Learn to build evolving virtual worlds by combining Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, and Apache Iceberg with Large Language Models for conversation and decision-making capabilities. Discover how to implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for memory storage and retrieval while using JavaScript to integrate all components seamlessly. Examine various approaches for data processing, storage, and analysis as you understand how data streaming and AI technologies work together to create living, breathing virtual communities. Gain practical insights inspired by Stanford's research on "Generative Agents: Interactive Simulacra of Human Behavior" and explore applications in gaming, simulations, research, and experimental digital experiences where AI characters can grow and change based on live data streams.
