How can I limit the length of the bot's answers?

I see that the bot's max token limit is 1,512. Which is very fair, but the problem is that it sometimes cannot finish its answers. Is there some prompt I can use to make its answers fit the limit? Please tell me if this does not fit here. Thanks.

The best I could come up with is starting prompts with:

"In X words, ..." Where X is a small number... 20, 50, and 100 seem to work better than larger numbers like 200.

When using 200 or more, it doesn't seem to have a strong effect.

Another that seems to work OK is starting the prompt with:

"In one sentence, ..."

But it can still just babble on without punctuation.

This AI has a rambling problem.
