OpenAI has introduced a groundbreaking feature that lets developers define a schema to receive responses from ChatGPT models using that schema. This enhancement moves beyond the traditional text responses, opening up dynamic ways to use the information across various systems.

Previously, prompt responses were limited to text answers, which restricted their application in feeding other systems. Now, you can define a schema—for instance, a data structure for a recipe—requiring the model to break down each step into an array or list and organize ingredients similarly.

This structured approach simplifies integrating the data directly into databases or crafting interfaces and formats for the response data, making developers’ lives easier and unlocking exciting new possibilities.

I’m looking forward to testing out these new structured outputs!
