Is it just me or is the distinction between structured data and structured outputs confusing? Seems to be more emphasis in the UI on Structured Outputs (as well as some more ability to control the outputs) but I'm not sure when I should be using one vs. the other. Any guidance is appreciated - feel like Vapi is adding a lot of great functionalty but also adding a lot of tech debt to create a more confusing user experience. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1437471111746162730/1437471351781982289/image.png?ex=69457605&is=69442485&hm=6288856396bb95c3806660d1182798f7af6cb8b8ca172469f6b3b00831fbd04d& https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1437471111746162730/1437471352272453854/image.png?ex=69457605&is=69442485&hm=d98ada8be4d765c4a738efa31eb83a642e0e19fed0575bcbd1bc88b798ededf1&

Thanks for sharing your feedback! To help clarify, could you share a specific example or workflow where you're unsure whether to use "Structured Data" or "Structured Outputs"? This will help me provide more targeted guidance based on your use case.

@Bob my thoughts exactly when discovering thsi

Update: Structured Outputs is 100% the way to go. It gives you full output control over the post-call data analysis and supports better iteration and data structures.

@Bob thanks for your follow-up. Does that mean that the "structuredData" will disappear ? I'm a bit afraid of getting into one of these "experiments" that might later be discontinued 😬

No idea @Jeebs from eva.be. My hope / best guess is that this is the future way we manage structured data - the old structured data veels very v0, this way feels more robust and scalable. Without it, we're kind of stuck building data analysis agents outside of Vapi. This gives Vapi full control over data flows and owning the end to end user experience.

it's likely that this new version of structuredData will stay for a while
