Long Form Article Generator

I want to be able to write long-form posts. As you know, if you write the article with ChatGPT in one sitting, you get shallow content. So to get better quality, you write the article section by section based on an outline. Can someone help me to accomplish the following:

  1. Get the title from Google Sheets

  2. ChatGPT creates the outline for the blog post

  3. ?

  4. Iterate? to write the blog post section by section

  5. Save the result to Google Docs. It would be a bonus if it was styled (H1, H2 and H3)

I have gotten it to retrieve the title, write the outline, and save it to Google Docs, but I can’t figure out how to write the article section by section.

Welcome to the Make community!

You might find “Message an assistant” useful, as assistants have threads for context from previous prompt and responses.

You can also start a new thread per post/story.

You mean use the AI assistant? Sorry, there are just so many assistant options available that I don’t know what you are referring to. Anywho, I did try that, but it just recreated what I had previously done.

I hope it’s ok to link to a video of what I’m looking to accomplish. I’m looking to create this exact thing but with less fluff:

I get lost at the point when we start using the set variable/iterator. I wish there was a template for this.

I found the “Message an assistant” that you were referring to :slight_smile:

I don’t quite understand the process… It’s very different approach than on the video. Can you be more specific? Sorry, I’m new to this.

You can create your own assistant here https://platform.openai.com/assistants

Then you can copy the assistant ID that begins with asst_ (e.g.: asst_1234567...)

For the first step, leave the thread ID field empty to begin a new thread.

Chain clones of the same module, but mapping the thread ID from the FIRST step (to reuse the same thread)

Great. Thank you so much for the detailed instructions. It looks promising. I will need to dive into this a bit deeper this weekend.
