Generate Your Own Topics with AI

You can create custom conversation scripts using any AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) by following these steps:

1. Copy the AI prompt template:

   • Open conversation_generator.md
   • Copy the entire content of the file

2. Paste into your preferred AI:

   • Go to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI chat interface
   • Paste the copied content as your first message

3. Request a specific topic:

   • After pasting, ask the AI to generate a conversation on your desired topic

   • Example prompts:

     Generate a B2 level IELTS conversation about "social media addiction"

     Create a C1 office problem-solving script about "handling a toxic coworker"

     Generate an office discussion about "implementing a 4-day work week"

4. Customize as needed:

   • Specify the level: B2, B2+, or C1
   • Choose topic type: ielts, office_problem, or office_discussion
   • Request specific vocabulary or grammar focus
   • Ask for more or fewer exchanges

5. Save the output:

   • Copy the generated JSON
   • Save it to the conversations/ folder with appropriate naming (e.g., ielts_socialmedia_011.json)
   • Use with MH.Tools.TtsAndSrtGenerate to create audio

Tips for best results:

• Be specific about the scenario and context
• Mention any particular idioms or phrases you want to learn
• Request multiple conversations at once for batch generation
