"# Reflection Workflow for Structured Outputs\n",
"\n",
"This notebook walks through setting up a `Workflow` to provide reliable structured outputs through retries and reflection on mistakes.\n",
"\n",
"This notebook works best with an open-source LLM, so we will use `Ollama`. If you don't already have Ollama running, visit [https://ollama.com](https://ollama.com) to get started and download the model you want to use. (In this case, we did `ollama pull llama3.1` before running this notebook)."

"## Designing the Workflow\n",
"\n",
"To validate the structured output of an LLM, we need only two steps:\n",
"1. Generate the structured output\n",
"2. Validate that the output is proper JSON\n",
"\n",
"The key thing here is that, if the output is invalid, we **loop** until it is, giving error feedback to the next generation.\n",
"\n",
"### The Workflow Events\n",
"\n",
"To handle these steps, we need to define a few events:\n",
"1. An event to pass on the generated extraction \n",
"2. An event to give feedback when the extraction is invalid\n",
"\n",
"The other steps will use the built-in `StartEvent` and `StopEvent` events."
