Structured data organizes information into predictable fields and records, such as a CRM table with customer names, ages, and recent purchases. It lets an LLM apply one general prompt repeatedly across many records rather than handling only conversational text. section 7.0
A structured-data LLM workflow connects:
- Data sources such as files, business systems, and CRM tables. section 7.0
- Prompts applied in a loop across records. section 7.0
- Generated text transformed into fields for databases or downstream systems. section 7.0
Figure 7.1 The LLM’s input text might come from various sources—files, systems, or users.
Trace how files, systems, and users can supply input to an LLM application. section 7.0
