Classify JSON

Drop in a support message, get back an object you can branch on without ever

Showcase — Classify JSON

Drop in a support message, get back an object you can branch on without ever parsing text: a label from a fixed set, a confidence score, and a short list of reasons. Week 2 coaxed a label out as a string and hoped the format held. Here the schema makes it a guarantee.

Run

bash bootstrap-secrets.sh              # reads ../../../../.env, writes secrets/
docker compose up --build              # default: PROVIDER=openai

Open http://localhost:3000.

To run against Gemini instead:

PROVIDER=gemini docker compose up --build

What's where

  • backend/ai_openai.py — the Classification schema (Literal label + float + list) and the OpenAI call
  • backend/ai_gemini.py — same schema, Gemini call
  • backend/main.py — identical FastAPI loader; reads PROVIDER and dispatches
  • frontend/app/page.tsx — textarea + result (rendered as JSON)
  • docker-compose.yml — two services, secrets mounted from ./secrets/

run(input: str) -> str returns the validated object as pretty JSON, keeping the contract identical across the week's showcases.

No parsing, no regex, no praying.
