I have a prompt I've been using for a while to practice spanish conversation. I decided to play with the new, confusingly named GPTs.

The format is a language tutor that gives corrections in your L1 and a conversation partner that speaks in your L2. As an added bonus you can auto generate an anki card for the last correction by typing :anki:

Wow, this is pretty cool, thanks for sharing! Impressed by how useful this is.

One note, I used the `:anki:` command and while I got a valid fill-in-the-blank Cloze deletion, the DALL-E command didn't seem to do anything. I think the Anki cards could really be improved if they included the great feedback that the tutor gives you on conversations.

Thanks for the feedback! Bummer about the DALL-E thing, it does seem to be hit and miss. It's always interesting to see where prompts start to fall apart.

One thing I find neat about this bot/convo format is that since it's so call-and-responsey, the bot doesn't tend to get lost.

The card gen was a bit last minute, I'll have to play with it some more and see if I can shake out the flakiness.
