Ghost Articles in Assistant?

I am lost in trying to understand the results I get from my assistant. I am calling it from Make.com with a URL source from Science Daily. I get the expected result from the assistant of a rewritten article when I test in the playground. But, not when I call the assistant (or chat completion with the identical prompt), from Make, or Zapier. From there, I get a totally unrelated article from the source.

I revised the assistant in early playground testing where I had an “Example Output” of a related article in the prompt. But, that was consistently interpreted as the article to be rewritten so I deleted that part of the prompt. The “ghost article” output I now get is thematically related to those early playground tests.

As a final test, I used the same prompt with Claude and got a rewritten article from the URL source both in the Make flow and the Claude playground.

I have no idea where to look for these ghost articles to delete them from my assistant. Would someone please offer some help here?

Welcome @ken13

Assistants don’t have access to the internet. So when you give the article link, it’s likely making up the article based on the link and the description you provide for the article.

Additionally, IIRC, Claude also doesn’t have internet access as of writing this post.
