We’re a lab here at Stanford building an AI-driven medieval world — NPCs with memory, emotion, and personality.
Looking for a Unreal Engine engineer to make our NPCs “alive” using LLMs.
Paid project ($1,200). Remote / short-term with long-term potential.

Your mission: make the NPCs come alive in Unreal Engine.
You will connect Large Language Models (LLMs) with Unreal Engine 5, bringing interactive MetaHuman-style characters into a living, responsive world.

Includes:

Real-time text/voice dialogue between players and NPCs

AI-driven personality, memory, and emotion states

Integration between LLM (OpenAI / Inworld / VAPI) and Unreal Engine

Expressive facial animation, cinematic lighting, and immersion

This is a paid short-term contract ($1,200) with potential for long-term collaboration.

Project Lead: Postdoctoral Researcher at Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI, collaborating with MIT Media Lab and the Stanford CS Department. Focus: next-generation AI narratives and human-AI worldbuilding.
