Long-standing issue with article length

FeedbackHigh Priority

For months, I have been incredibly frustrated with the article lengths of generated articles! Every article is always (much!) longer than I ask for. Before writing this feedback, I tested in once again: I gave the info what I wanted it to be about, stated I wanted long form (2,500 to 3.500 words) and it gave me an article of a whopping 4,600 words!

I have loved RB in the beginning (got it about a year ago) but now it is getting too much for my AuDHD brain to work with it, as I mainly use it for article generation. I always edit/add/remove when it is done, but now it has gotten too much work.

Shame.

    I have tested this and each of the ~30 articles that I select “Short Form” it wrote articles that are ~2,000 - 2,800 words in length.

      Hey Tyson, made some improvements on that front if you want to give it another try. Keep in mind if you make a longer outline manually it’ll expand the count.

    Hey! Thanks for letting us know about this issue. We’ve seen this too and tbh different AI models ‘listen’ to our length instructions much better than others, so we’re constantly testing + swapping in better models for article length. We highly recommend using the Medium-form and Short-form length options (rather than the longer ones) and seeing how that goes. Mind testing a couple and seeing if they come closer to the mark for you?
