Hi Ethan,
have you used any platform-supported modules to call the model? (OpenAI, Bedrock, MxGenAI connectors?)
Please check out the documentation on how to Build a Chatbot from Scratch Using the Blank GenAI App. The ConversationalUI module might help you setting up the UI.
Furthermore, you can reivew the GenAI Showcase App or AI Bot Starter App for examples for chatbot integration.
Based on what you consider "real-time", but currently streaming is not supported out of the box (so users need to wait for the model to generate the whole response before it is shown).
Best regards
Liam
