Hello Amir! Happy New Year! 🎊
Great question, and thanks for including the screenshot! Let me explain the difference between the “Fields” and “JSON Schema” options in the output format:
1. Fields: This option allows you to manually define specific fields for the AI to output. For example, in the screenshot, the field named “response” is defined. This is straightforward and works well for simple outputs where you need a single value or a few clearly defined parameters.
2. JSON Schema: This option is designed for more structured and complex outputs. It allows you to define a schema in JSON format, which acts as a blueprint for how the AI should format its response. This is especially useful when you’re working with multiple data points or hierarchical information.
In Clay, the “Generate with chat” feature simplifies the process of creating JSON Schemas. With this feature, you provide a prompt, and the AI helps generate a compliant JSON Schema for you.
