I feel like this is so core to any LLM automation it was crazy that anthropic is only adding it now.
I built a customized deep research internally earlier this year that is made up of multiple "agentic" steps, each focusing on specific information to find. And the outputs of those steps are always in json and then the input for the next step. Sure you can work you way around failures by doing retries but its just one less thing to think about if you can guarantee that the random LLM output adheres at least to some sort of structure.
