Build an AI Data Parser

Guide the user through building AI that pulls structured data out of messy text. Uses DSPy extraction — define the output shape, and the AI fills it in.

Step 1: Define what to extract

Ask the user:

1. What are you parsing? (emails, invoices, resumes, transcripts, articles, forms, etc.)
2. What fields do you need? (names, dates, amounts, entities, etc.)
3. Are any fields optional? (some documents might not have every field)
4. What's the output format? (flat fields, list of objects, nested structure)
5. Do you have examples of correct extractions? (even a few help with optimization)

Step 2: Build the parser
