## Code

```python structured_output.py theme={null}
from typing import List

from agno.agent import Agent, RunOutput  # noqa
from agno.models.langdb import LangDB
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
from rich.pretty import pprint  # noqa

class MovieScript(BaseModel):
    setting: str = Field(
        ..., description="Provide a nice setting for a blockbuster movie."
    )
    ending: str = Field(
        ...,
        description="Ending of the movie. If not available, provide a happy ending.",

    genre: str = Field(

    storyline: str = Field(
        ..., description="3 sentence storyline for the movie. Make it exciting!"
    )

# Agent that uses JSON mode
json_mode_agent = Agent(
    model=LangDB(id="llama3-1-70b-instruct-v1.0"),
    description="You write movie scripts.",
    output_schema=MovieScript,
    use_json_mode=True,
)

# Agent that uses structured outputs

    model=LangDB(id="llama3-1-70b-instruct-v1.0"),
    description="You write movie scripts.",
    output_schema=MovieScript,
)

# Get the response in a variable
# json_mode_response: RunOutput = json_mode_agent.run("New York")
# pprint(json_mode_response.content)
# structured_output_response: RunOutput = structured_output_agent.run("New York")
