I've completed work on a plugin to help people make more complex things with AI text.
As always, the plugin page includes full documentation and example code. And I've also made a simple template setup you can use to get started.
Recently, I started playing with AI text--not the AI chat etc. but the plugin itself. I used my AI text demo to try different prompts, experiment with what's possible, etc.
I wanted to do things like have it generate more complex, structured output. Even if it's quite simple, any kind of structure is a bit of a struggle to convince it to generate. And if you do get it to generate the format you wanted, you've still got to parse it anyway to get the separate generated values out. The more structure, the harder it is to handle--especially for the average generator creator on perchance.
It's quite hard to get it to stick to a format you describe--because it's not seen many examples of that format. Unless you use a format it has seen before. I chose JSON, as I'm most familiar with it. Telling it to produce proper/valid JSON works pretty well. And showing it a JSON structure usually gets it to stick to it properly.
And you can have as complex a structure as you need fairly easily.
The next step was, creating a plugin/function that could handle that JSON coming out of the text AI, give you updates as it's built, and easy to use/access values of the generated JSON... to then use to show the user, hide different things, display in different ways any part of the JSON that's been generated.
This plugin took a while to put together. Perhaps there are bugs with it--just let me know. But it's very easy to use, with a number of features that make common uses like creating more HTML ready to take generated values and so on very easy to build out.
If you have ideas this plugin could be used for, I'd love to hear them in the comments of this post. And feel free to ask questions, or put forward ideas for new features you think could benefit people.
