Structured Generation

Noun · AI & Machine Learning

Definitions

  1. Generation constrained to produce output in a defined structure such as JSON, tables, typed fields, or schema-aligned objects rather than free-form text alone. Structured generation is important when AI output feeds software systems directly.

    In plain English: AI generation that produces output in a defined structure instead of loose text.

    Example: "They switched to structured generation so downstream automation could consume invoice data without fragile text parsing."
