The AI script is too long

What to do when you want to generate a script no longer than 10 minutes, for example, but the AI generates something longer than 20 minutes.

  1. Your prompt is too long. When you include too many instructions, the AI may struggle to stick to all of them exactly.

    1. Fix 1: Keep your prompt short and concise. Remove any unnecessary instructions in the prompt.

    2. Fix 2: Use stronger language around the specified duration.

      1. For instance, if you specified "10 minutes" but the AI kept generating more, specify an upper bound like:
        "Create a podcast that is strictly 10-minutes long, no longer than 12-minutes long."

  2. You have provided too much information.

    1. Fix: Reduce the number of pages included in your attachment, and/or reduce the number of links you include in the prompt.

  3. You weren't clear enough about where you want the AI to focus on.

    1. Fix: Use instructions like "Create a high-level summary" or "Focus on content on pages 1-5 only."

The AI script is too short

What to do when you want to generate a script no shorter than 30 minutes, for example, but the AI generates something shorter than 15 minutes.

  1. Your prompt is too long. When you include too many instructions, the AI may struggle to stick to all of them exactly.

    1. Fix 1: Keep your prompt short and concise. Remove any unnecessary instructions in the prompt.

    2. Fix 2: Use stronger language around the specified duration.

      1. For instance, if you specified "10 minutes" but the AI kept generating less, specify an lower bound like:
        "Create a podcast that is strictly 10-minutes long, no shorter than 8-minutes long."

  2. You have not included enough information for the AI to use.

    1. Fix: Increase the number of attachments, and/or increase the number of links you include in the prompt.

  3. You implied that you wanted a high-level summary instead of a detailed review.

    1. Fix: Use instructions like "Create a detailed review/deepdive of the content provided" or "Focus on all content from all pages."
