structured output for assistant chat
# support

Hey! I'm building a chat feature for my app that needs a structured out from your response to know a couple things deterministically. Is this a feature already or do you plan on building this ever?

Totally get the pain, relying on unstructured responses makes it hard to build deterministic chat flows. Right now, the best approach is enforcing structured outputs (like JSON schemas) at the prompt or tool level rather than expecting it natively. I’ve helped set this up cleanly with VAPI so responses stay predictable and usable downstream. Happy to help you implement this directly what kind of structure or fields are you trying to extract from each response? @deauth
