This video tutorial delves into the exciting world of automation and AI-driven content creation. Join us as we explore how to automate the generation of complete eBooks using Make.com and OpenAI's powerful GPT models. We start by setting up an Airtable base and creating a scenario in Make.com, including generating book titles, chapters, and images for each chapter. We then use a larger-context GPT model to generate the content for each chapter and finally put everything together in a Google Doc.

[@jimcrow2000]

great tutorial! took me a little while to do it but awesome. thanks a mil man.

[@MintyAnalyst]

glad it was helpful! 😊

[@FabianoCarvalho]

Thanks for this video. That's amazing. Direct from Brazil!

[@MintyAnalyst]

Hey Fabiano, glad you enjoyed it! Another Make.com video is dropping next Thursday 😊

[@emmanuelarinze2251]

You are a good man! 3:30 am and I'm happy as a hobbit with a habit! Thanks!

[@MintyAnalyst]

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you like the video 😊

[@hypnoticblaze4323]

Wow! You must have read my mind - this is exacty what I've been doing in ChatGPT-4 but you've automated it here which seems way better than Bubble. Might you please share the Airtable sheet? Anyway. I'm looking forward to your next video on this topic and hoping you'll share your tools and more how-to's soon. Cheers!

[@MintyAnalyst]

Hey, thanks for the message, and positive feedback. Here's the Airtable base: airtable.com/appe4ZJX8t2utfBNW/shroUJ9MUjcdnnQZG

[@iainhmunro]

I wish I saw this as I built from scratch

[@MintyAnalyst]

@@iainhmunro sorry, just figured out how to export make scenarios to json today 😅

[@jimcrow2000]

thanks for the video, great useful resource. i m trying to do the make connection, using a token instead of the oauth connection, when i try to add the "trigger configuration"field, i don't have the "created" option appearing, no option at all actually appear. would you have any idea why? do i have to use the oauth connection airtble < > make? thanks

[@MintyAnalyst]

I think Airtable deprecated some API tokens, so you'll probably have to do oAuth (which is better in my opinion, as you can see every app that has access through Airtable). Hope this solves it (and weird that Make haven't removed the token option yet...)

[@iainhmunro]

Thanks for this - I am nearly there, but it keeps failing on the Update Chapter Record with this error - The operation failed with an error. [422] Value "" is not a valid record ID.

[@MintyAnalyst]

As I understand it, this means you are not passing the Record ID to this module, so it doesn't know which record to update in Airtable. You should get the Record ID from the Save Chapter to Ebook Chapters module, where you create a new record every time. Once you pass this Record ID, it should work. Hope this helps :)

[@iainhmunro]

@@MintyAnalyst Managed to get it working. I ended up deleting the Airtable Module and recreating it, which caused a couple of other issues, but was easy to fix those. I ran a couple of tests and it has a really long way to go. I am wondering if it is running too fast or the prompts need to be improved. On the first test, half of the sentence was missing and in the second test I asked for 3 chapters, The 3rd Chapter started out Chapter 4 - lol. But a great start for sure. I will play with it some more to see what I can come up with. Appreciate all your time and help.

[@MintyAnalyst]

@iainhmunro Yep, it needs fine-tuning of the prompts for sure. As for the responses cutting sentences, I've limited all the OpenAI modules to 300 max tokens to keep it faster/cheaper for testing. If you increase the Token Limits, it should be able to generate everything without cutting sentences.

[@iainhmunro]

@@MintyAnalyst Many thanks. I didn't even think about the token limit, so that makes sense now.

[@Josh-RO]

Hello, thank you very much for the great tutorial. I have adopted your scenario 1 to 1 to adapt it to my needs later. Unfortunately it does not work 100% although I have modelled everything step by step as I said. The created EBooks remain open, so it ends in the middle of the sentence.... I hope you understand what I mean... Can you understand where the error may be? Many thanks in advance for your help. Thank you! Greetings Josh

[@MintyAnalyst]

Hi Josh, the only reason for the ebook to end mid-sentence that I can think of is one of two: 1. You are not prompting OpenAI correctly, meaning you are limiting the number of tokens so it can't finish its thought, or your generation prompt is too vague, or you may be using a really old GPT version (not sure if that last one is possible...) 2. You are using the Substring() function in Make on the wrong place and are actually trimming your response before saving it. Those are the only two things I can think of, hope they are helpful :)

[@Josh-RO]

@@MintyAnalyst hello, thanks for the feedback, i have now re-installed everything and everything is working now. thanks

very good video . where can i find this template please

[@MintyAnalyst]

Hi there, unfortunately, only Team and Enterprise plans can share make.com scenarios as templates, so there's no way for me to share it 😐

[@jeanluclaval]

You could export the blueprint..

[@MintyAnalyst]

@jeanluclaval thanks. not sure how to do that, but will take a look 😅

[@IbrahemAb1]

GPT Chat does not work. It requires a paid plan in order to use Open AI. Can it not be replaced with a free platform?

[@MintyAnalyst]

Hey, thanks for the comment. I am not aware of any free platform that can do this with the required quality, that's why I am using the OpenAI integration in Make. If you find another one that integrates with Make, let me know, I'd like to try it out 😊

[@IbrahemAb1]

@@MintyAnalyst And in the end we get an article written by humans? Or will the article be detected as written by artificial intelligence? I hope you've checked it out

[@IbrahemAb1]

@@MintyAnalyst Will the text after here look like it was written by humans when examined with tools that detect writing with artificial intelligence?

[@MintyAnalyst]

@IbrahemAb1 If you take it as is and use my generic prompts, it will be easily detected. However, if you research better prompts for your specific use case, and spend some time editing it at the end, results are pretty great. It also depends on which model you use from OpenAI (gpt4 will be better but more expensive than chat-gpt3.5). After all, it's the same performance you get from ChatGPT, just allowing for longer text with a structure.

[@IbrahemAb1]

@@MintyAnalyst Thank you, I wish there was a free site through which we could produce an article with human writing, because all the tools that reformulate the article into a human form change the words in a suspicious manner and put in strange and inconsistent words and meanings.

How to pay 1$ for a book-sized collection of BS ...

[@MintyAnalyst]

Hah 🤣 Yep, AI is not THAT good yet, but I've found a lot of use cases for this, especially if you spend some time to fine-tune the prompts. In the end, it's always meant to be a first rough draft, not a finished product. But yeah, if you want to just copy-paste the scenario, do zero work, and get amazing results, it will be a wasted $1 😅

[@trevoro.9731]

@@MintyAnalystIt will be a wasted $1 anyway in most cases, as you would lose even more, your time, as AI wouldn't be able to produce a proper result due to inability to track the context over large amount of text, and produce poor quality text due to constant losing of focus if the context is explicitly specified (which, in turn, can't be NOT large).

[@MintyAnalyst]

@@trevoro.9731 I don't fully agree. Yes, AI is repetitive when no context is provided. But you can play around with that (not even mentioning that context windows are hugely increasing all the time). You can pass the summaries of all chapters and ask it not to repeat itself in the current chapter, you can pass the list of chapter titles, and ask it not to cover topics in other chapters, etc. There are countless ways to "help" AI be better at generating content. It all comes down to understanding that there's no one-click magic solution. You need to put in the work to get good results. As the saying goes, 'Sh*t in - sh*t out.' However, I still believe with the proper understanding of GenAI and time spent fine-tuning prompts and workflows, the benefits are huge. For example, AI helped me come up with the scenario in this video. I think people who straight out dismiss it are missing out a LOT 😉

[@trevoro.9731]

@@MintyAnalyst I tested my own ways of forcing LLM to generate content, it resulted in constant loss of context, prioritizing trained data which make no sense for the content, and (after fine tuning) sometimes delusions of neural network. It is unlikely that the service does even that (as it would require a lot of time).

[@trevoro.9731]

@@MintyAnalyst If they just dismiss it outright here, they would save at least 1 $ without missing anything.
