# Structured Outputs

LLM feature for guaranteed valid JSON according to a schema. Eliminates parsing errors and enables reliable tool integration. OpenAI (response_format), Anthropic (tool_choice), and Google (response_schema) offer native support. Critical for production pipelines where unstructured outputs break workflows.

## Business Value

Eliminates 90%+ of errors in AI-to-system integrations. Makes AI outputs directly usable in your existing systems.

## Context Studios Perspective

Structured Outputs are a must for any production AI integration. We define precise schemas that your backend systems can consume directly.
