When does this happen?
IF AI responses are inconsistent or lack structure when given single-turn prompts without context.
How others solved it
THEN Use few-shot examples by including a mock conversation in the messages array (system, user, assistant) to guide the AI to respond in a consistent format. For example, provide a system prompt, then a sample user query and assistant response, followed by the actual user message.
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are an English word search assistant."},
{"role": "user", "content": "run"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "run [/rʌn/]\n\nn. 奔跑;竞赛;连续的演出\nHe went for a run after work.\n\nv. 奔跑;运行\nI like to run in the park every morning.\n\nadj. 连续的;流畅的\nThis printer is really fast and runs smoothly."},
{"role": "user", "content": user_message}
