Turn conversational results into dependable data.

Why structure matters

Free-form text works for an assistant reply. It is a poor interface for updating a CRM record, generating a support ticket or driving an automated workflow. Use a schema that specifies required fields, allowed values and error states.

{
  "intent": "support_request",
  "priority": "normal",
  "summary": "Customer requests a receipt",
  "needs_human_review": false
}

Example output only, not a real model response.

Reliability checklist

• Prefer provider-supported constrained generation or schema features where available.
• Validate every result in application code; do not assume the provider guarantee covers your business rules.
• Treat tool arguments and structured outputs as untrusted until checked.
• Allow a limited repair attempt for malformed data, with a clear fallback.
• Retain a versioned schema and test against edge cases.

Keep the user in control

Structured generation does not authorize a real-world action. Review permissions and confirmation requirements separately from output formatting.

Explore agent tools and model comparison criteria.
