Azure OpenAI won't generate titles from user text input

Issue with Title Generation Using Azure OpenAI Service

I’m working with an Azure OpenAI resource and trying to build a feature that automatically creates titles based on what users type in. The concept is pretty straightforward - a user provides some text content, and I want the AI to generate a relevant title for that content.

However, I’m running into problems getting this to work properly. The title generation either fails completely or doesn’t produce the expected results.

What I’m trying to achieve:

• User submits text input through my application
• Azure OpenAI processes this input
• System returns a generated title based on the content

Current situation:

The integration isn’t working as expected and I can’t figure out what’s going wrong with my implementation.

Has anyone successfully implemented similar title generation functionality with Azure OpenAI? What approach did you use to make it work reliably?

I ran into the same issues with Azure OpenAI title generation. The game-changer was fixing my prompt engineering. Don’t just dump raw user text - structure it properly. I use “Generate a concise title for the following content:” then add the user input. GPT-4 crushes GPT-3.5 for this stuff. Keep your temperature between 0.3-0.5 for titles - gives you creativity without going wild. Also double-check your API response parsing. Sometimes the generation works fine but you’re not handling the response right. What errors are you actually getting?
