Regarding the AI chat

I tried a simple use case: asking the AI to create states for a form (I provided the form ID). The chat told me that the states had been created, but nothing appeared in the "Edit States" section. Is this expected behavior? Could the states have been created in the data instead?

Another observation: I tested scene creation. I asked the AI to create three scenes. It started the process and then asked for additional details. After I provided the requested information, instead of continuing with the original task, it created three new scenes.

I was hoping to save time by using it for subtitle generation. It works, but it's quite slow sometime, taking several seconds for each audio clip. In my case, it doesn't provide a significant time saving compared to manually copying and pasting the text from a document.

I've got interns who are more efficient. 😉

Jokes aside, for those of you who used Storyline extensively before AI, do you actually use it for this kind of work? So far, it seems to struggle with fairly basic tasks that I can do faster and more reliably myself. Maybe I'm missing the right use cases. What's your opinion?

    The AI can only create things in your project through whatever actions Articulate has wired up for it. If “add states to this object” isn’t one of them, the model still reports success because it has no way of seeing your timeline. It’s guessing. Same thing with the extra scenes you asked for. When it stopped to ask you for further info it most likely lost your original request and just treated it as a new request. These are tool call handling things rather than how good the tool is. As far as I’m aware, Articulate uses GPT and elevenlabs so both hugely capable but restricted by what they’ve been wired up to do in SL. My guess is they will add more functionality over time.

    The reliability issue is the biggest concern here. If the AI says it created states but nothing actually appears, how can you know whether the task was completed without checking everything manually?

    Has anyone found a Storyline task where the AI reliably saves more time than doing it manually?
