Generation with boundaries

A useful generative AI system starts with a defined content job.

“Generate content with AI” is too broad to design well. A sales team may need a first draft based on approved account context. An operations team may need long documents converted into a standard summary. A product team may need customer feedback grouped into themes and transformed into structured findings. A support team may need a case summary that preserves the important facts but removes repetitive conversation history.

These are all generative tasks, but the quality criteria are different. A marketing draft may be judged on clarity, brand fit and factual accuracy. A support summary may be judged on whether it preserves the correct timeline and customer issue. A structured extraction workflow may need exact fields and machine-readable output rather than fluent prose.

We therefore begin with the output contract: what the model should produce, what information it is allowed to use, which facts must be traceable and what a reviewer should be able to verify.

The model is one component of the product.

Production quality depends on the surrounding application: input preparation, business data, prompt or instruction design, retrieval, structured output schemas, validation, user interface, review flow, logging and evaluation. Changing the model alone rarely solves a poorly defined workflow.

In many cases, the best system combines deterministic application logic with generative AI. Software can gather the correct records, enforce required fields and control permissions. The model can then perform the language-heavy transformation that is difficult to express with fixed rules.

Structured outputs

Use schemas when generated text must enter another system.

Free-form text is useful when a person is going to read it. It is less useful when software needs to consume the result. If a workflow expects a customer name, request category, urgency and summary, those fields should be defined explicitly and validated before they are saved.

Structured outputs make generative AI easier to integrate with CRMs, databases, dashboards and automation workflows because the application can check whether required fields are present and whether values match expected formats.

Validate business rules after generation.

A model may produce syntactically valid structured data that is still wrong for the business. Known IDs, date ranges, category lists and other constraints should be validated with deterministic application logic.

Separate generated content from authoritative records.

A model-generated summary can assist a user without replacing the underlying source record. This distinction matters when people need to audit or correct the result later.

Design for missing information.

The output schema should allow the system to represent uncertainty or missing data rather than forcing the model to invent a value to complete every field.

Evaluation

Define what “good” means before comparing models.

Generative AI is variable: the same request can produce different wording or reasoning paths across runs. Traditional pass/fail tests are still useful for exact requirements, but many generation tasks also need task-specific quality criteria.

Current OpenAI guidance recommends eval-driven development: define an objective, build representative datasets, choose metrics that reflect the real task and continuously evaluate after changes rather than relying on “vibe-based” testing. See OpenAI’s evaluation best-practices guide.

Evaluate factual support.

When the output is based on source material, check whether the important claims are supported and whether the model introduces facts that were not present.

Evaluate completeness.

A summary can be fluent but still fail because it drops a required decision, risk, date or action item. Quality criteria should reflect the information users actually need.

Evaluate format compliance.

If downstream software expects a schema or template, measure whether the output consistently follows it and whether required fields are valid.

Evaluate usefulness with real examples.

Production logs, historical cases and human-reviewed examples are more useful than testing only ideal prompts written by the development team.

Repeat evaluation after changes.

Model upgrades, prompt changes, retrieval changes and source updates can improve one case while weakening another. A stable eval set makes regressions visible.

Risk management

Generative AI risk is part of product design, not a post-launch checklist.

NIST’s Generative AI Profile is a companion to the AI Risk Management Framework and is intended to help organisations identify and manage risks that are particularly relevant to generative AI across the lifecycle. See NIST’s AI Risk Management Framework and Generative AI Profile.

For a business application, that translates into practical questions: What happens when generated output is wrong? Can confidential data enter the model context? Could external content manipulate the system? Can a generated result trigger another action? Who is responsible for reviewing high-impact output?

Minimise unnecessary data exposure.

Only provide the model with the context required for the task. More context is not automatically better if it expands privacy and security risk without improving output quality.

Separate generation from execution.

A generated recommendation and an executed business action are different risk levels. Where a downstream action has meaningful consequences, validate or approve it separately.

Keep a fallback path.

When the model cannot meet the required quality or source standard, the workflow should route the case to a person or a non-generative process.
