AI Branding Chatbot - Project Story
π‘ Inspiration
Small businesses face a significant challenge when it comes to branding. Traditional branding services cost thousands of dollars and take weeks to complete, making them inaccessible to most small business owners. We witnessed countless entrepreneurs struggling to create professional branding materials on limited budgets.
The Problem:
- Professional branding costs $5,000-$20,000
- Takes 2-4 weeks to complete
- Requires multiple consultations and revisions
- Small businesses often settle for generic, unprofessional materials
Our Vision: What if we could democratize professional branding using AI? What if a small business owner could get comprehensive branding materials in 5 minutes for less than $1?
This inspired us to build an intelligent AI agent system that automates the entire branding process using Amazon Bedrock and serverless architecture.

- Autonomous decision-making
- Chain-of-Thought reasoning for scoring
- Dynamic style generation
Titan Image Generator v2 (
amazon.titan-image-generator-v2:0)- Professional signboard designs
- Theme-aware image generation
- 512-character prompt optimization
2. Serverless Infrastructure
- AWS SAM - Infrastructure as Code
- Lambda Functions - 7 specialized agents
- DynamoDB - Session management (24-hour TTL)
- S3 - Asset storage
- API Gateway - RESTful HTTP API
- ECS Fargate - Streamlit deployment
- CloudWatch - Centralized logging
3. Agent Architecture
class BaseAgent:
"""Base class for all agents"""
def __init__(self, agent_type: AgentType):
self.bedrock_client = BedrockClient()
self.logger = AgentLogger()
def execute(self, event, context):
"""Agent execution with error handling"""
self.start_execution(session_id, tool_name)
try:
result = self._process(event)
self.end_execution("success", result)
return result
except Exception as e:
self.end_execution("error", str(e))
return self.handle_error(e)
4. Bedrock Client Module
class BedrockClient:
"""Unified Bedrock API client"""
def invoke_claude(self, prompt, max_tokens=2048):
"""Claude 4 Sonnet for text generation"""
def invoke_titan_image(self, prompt, width=1024, height=1024):
"""Titan Image Generator v2 for images"""
def batch_evaluate_names(self, names, business_info):
"""Batch name evaluation with score validation"""
π§ Challenges We Faced
Challenge 1: Bedrock Titan Image Generator Prompt Length
Problem: Titan Image Generator v2 has a strict 512-character limit. When users provided business descriptions (e.g., "Pokemon Concept Ramen"), prompts exceeded this limit, causing ValidationException.
Solution:
def _create_image_prompt(self, business_name, business_info, style):
MAX_PROMPT_LENGTH = 512
# Build prompt in parts to control length
core_text = f"Signboard with '{business_name}' in bold English letters"
style_part = f"{style} style, {mood}"
theme_part = f"Theme: {description_visual[:80]}" # Limit theme
prompt = f"{core_text}. {style_part}. {theme_part}."
# Emergency truncation if still too long
if len(prompt) > MAX_PROMPT_LENGTH:
prompt = f"{core_text}. {style} style, professional design."
return prompt
Result: 100% success rate for image generation, even with complex themes.
Challenge 2: Claude Returning Invalid Scores (0.0)
Problem: Bedrock Claude occasionally returned 0.0 for some scoring dimensions, breaking the user experience.
Solution: Implemented intelligent score validation with fallback algorithms:
def _validate_and_fix_scores(self, evaluation):
"""Validate scores and apply fallback if needed"""
for field in ['pronunciation_score', 'memorability_score',
'relevance_score', 'search_score']:
score = evaluation.get(field, 0.0)
if score <= 0.0 or score > 100.0:
# Apply fallback algorithm
if field == "pronunciation_score":
score = self._calculate_pronunciation_score(name)
elif field == "memorability_score":
score = self._calculate_memorability_score(name)
# ... more fallback algorithms
return evaluation
Fallback Algorithms:
- Pronunciation Score: Based on name length, complexity, special characters
- Memorability Score: Based on vowel/consonant balance, optimal length
- Relevance Score: Based on industry keywords, description matching
- Search Score: Based on SEO factors, uniqueness, URL-friendliness
Result: All scores guaranteed to be in 1-100 range, no more 0.0 scores.
Challenge 3: Async Processing Timeouts
Problem: Business name regeneration took >30 seconds, causing timeout errors in Streamlit.
Solution: Implemented async mode with polling:
# Reporter Agent
if async_mode and action in ['suggest', 'regenerate']:
# Return 202 immediately
return self._handle_async_request(session_id, body, context)
# Streamlit polls for completion
for attempt in range(max_attempts):
time.sleep(2)
status = requests.get(f"{API_BASE_URL}/names/status?session_id={session_id}")
if status['statusCode'] == 200:
break # Complete!
Result: No more timeouts, smooth user experience.
Challenge 4: Selected Images Not Appearing in Report
Problem: Final report showed first image instead of user's selection.
Solution: Fixed data flow to preserve selection:
# Signboard Agent - Preserve existing data
existing_data = session_data.get("signboard_images", {})
if isinstance(existing_data, str):
existing_data = json.loads(existing_data)
# Add selection without overwriting images list
existing_data["selected_image_url"] = selected_image_url
Result: Correct images and styles displayed in final report.
π What We Learned
1. Amazon Bedrock Best Practices
- Prompt Engineering: Concise prompts work better than verbose ones
- Error Handling: Always implement retry logic with exponential backoff
- Model Limits: Understand and respect model-specific constraints (512 chars for Titan)
- Batch Processing: Reduce API calls by batching operations (3 names β 1 API call)
2. Agent-Based Architecture
- Separation of Concerns: Each agent has a single responsibility
- Supervisor Pattern: Central orchestrator for error recovery and monitoring
- Async Processing: Long-running tasks need async mode + polling
- State Management: DynamoDB with TTL for session persistence
3. Serverless Development
- Cold Starts: Optimize Lambda package size and initialization
- Timeouts: Set appropriate timeouts for different operations
- Logging: Structured logging is essential for debugging
- Cost Optimization: Batch operations and cache when possible
4. User Experience
- Progressive Disclosure: Show progress at each step
- Error Recovery: Graceful fallbacks when AI fails
- Async Feedback: Keep users informed during long operations
- Simplicity: Remove unnecessary features (Regenerate button)
π Technical Innovations
1. Dynamic Style Generation
Instead of hardcoded styles, we use Bedrock Claude to generate contextual styles:
def _generate_signboard_styles_with_bedrock(self, business_info, selected_name):
prompt = f"""Generate 3 unique signboard design styles for:
Business: {selected_name}
Industry: {business_info.industry}
Region: {business_info.region}
Return JSON: ["style1", "style2", "style3"]
"""
response = self.bedrock_client.invoke_claude(prompt)
styles = json.loads(response['text'])
return styles # e.g., ["industrial", "minimalist", "urban"]
Result: Styles perfectly match business context (Pokemon Ramen β "anime", "vibrant", "playful")
2. Intelligent Score Validation
Mathematical approach to fallback scoring:
Pronunciation Score: $$ S_{pronunciation} = 100 - \text{length_penalty} - \text{complexity_penalty} $$
Where:
- $\text{length_penalty} = \max(0, |length - 10| \times 2)$
- $\text{complexity_penalty} = \text{uppercase_count} \times 5 + \text{digit_count} \times 5$
Memorability Score: $$ S_{memorability} = 70 + \text{length_bonus} + \text{balance_bonus} $$
Where:
- $\text{length_bonus} = 15$ if $6 \leq length \leq 10$, else $10$ if $4 \leq length \leq 12$
- $\text{balance_bonus} = 10$ if $\frac{\min(vowels, consonants)}{\max(vowels, consonants)} > 0.4$
3. Prompt Optimization Pipeline
def optimize_prompt(prompt, max_length=512):
"""Multi-stage prompt optimization"""
# Stage 1: Build concisely
if len(prompt) <= max_length:
return prompt
# Stage 2: Remove optional details
prompt = remove_theme_details(prompt)
if len(prompt) <= max_length:
return prompt
# Stage 3: Emergency truncation
return prompt[:max_length-3] + "..."
