Module 3 of 6Lesson 3 of 3~8 min
Specify the response format for the interface
As long as the assistant answers in free text, the interface can't show reliable sources, trigger a handoff or measure much at all. This lesson teaches you to specify a structured response, one that the interface and your indicators can finally rely on.
Lesson objective
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to specify the fields of a structured response (answer, sources, handoff needed, suggested actions) so that the interface and the metrics can rely on it.

- JSON schema
