Example Prompts
A grab-bag of prompts covering different tones, speaker counts, and edge cases. Paste any of these into the app's prompt box to try it.
Each example also serves as a manual regression test — after generating, verify:
- Correct number of unique speaker tags (matches "Expected speakers" below)
- No
[brackets],(parentheticals), or*asterisks*leaked into the audio - Each speaker change is on its own turn (no "Mom: ..." buried inside another speaker's paragraph)
1. LARP Interruption (comedy, 3 speakers — includes a late arrival)
A Wizard and Orc arguing about which spell is most powerful against dragons. Suddenly, their Mom comes downstairs into the basement to interrupt their LARPing session. Funny, humorous.
Expected speakers: 3 (Wizard, Orc, Mom) Why it's a good test: Mom arrives mid-scene — earlier parser versions missed this and merged her lines into the previous speaker's turn.
2. Product Strategy Meeting (business, 4 speakers)
A 4-person product meeting at a SaaS startup debating whether to raise prices. The CEO wants to raise, the CFO is cautious, the Head of Product worries about churn, and a customer success lead shares real user feedback.
Expected speakers: 4 Why it's a good test: Clear multi-role professional dialogue — validates that 4 distinct speakers are produced without drift.
3. Solo TED Talk (monologue, 1 speaker)
A passionate 5-minute TED-style talk by a neuroscientist explaining why boredom is secretly the most creative mental state, with specific examples and a call to action.
Expected speakers: 1 Why it's a good test: Verifies that long-form single-speaker content works and the parser doesn't hallucinate extra speakers.
4. Detective Interrogation (dramatic, 3 speakers)
A hard-boiled detective interrogates a nervous suspect in a small-town murder case, while the suspect's lawyer repeatedly objects and tries to end the interview. Tense, back-and-forth.
Expected speakers: 3 (Detective, Suspect, Lawyer)
Why it's a good test: Tests dramatic tone and ensures the LLM doesn't resort to forbidden stage directions like [slams table] or (nervously).
5. Podcast Interview with Dog Expert (casual, 2 speakers)
A casual 10-minute podcast interview where the host asks a dog behaviorist why dogs tilt their heads when you talk to them, with lots of tangents, personal stories, and funny dog examples.
Expected speakers: 2 (Host, Expert) Why it's a good test: Natural conversational flow, tests that the LLM uses in-dialogue emotion ("haha", "oh wow") instead of stage directions.
