Applied AI Fundamentals: Structured Outputs

This is the first post in a series I'm hoping to write on applied AI engineering fundamentals. Heavy emphasis on the fundamentals... because to many it will be an obvious review but for others I hope it will give you the confidence to build more interesting things.

Next up is probably an article on applications of tool use and/or Anthropic's Model Context Protocol. I've also planned an article on OpenAI's real time voice APIs used in those AI call screening solutions that funnel leads down into your CRM.
