translation as an active recall method, tips

I’m around upper-intermediate level and my passive understanding is pretty good, but I struggle with actually using what I already know. (TL)
What works best for me is translating especially when sentences are built around specific vocabulary or constructions I’m trying to learn. I feel like having to build the whole sentence myself helps me remember things much better.
I’ve been using ChatGPT for this. I give it some vocabulary, it gives me sentences to translate, and then corrects me. It actually works pretty well, especially voice recognition, but it sometimes loses track.
Does anyone learn in a similar way? I’m looking for an app, website, AI tool, prompt, or just a better way to do this consistently
