Overview
The agent takes a paragraph of text as input and returns a list of all people mentioned in it. This is useful for:- Named Entity Recognition (NER) — extracting people from articles, documents, or transcripts
- Contact Discovery — identifying key individuals mentioned in meeting notes or emails
- Data Extraction — parsing unstructured text for specific information
- Content Analysis — understanding who is mentioned in text content
Key Features
- Structured Output: Uses Pydantic models for type-safe responses
- Comprehensive Extraction: Identifies all person names in text
- Flexible Input: Works with any text content
- Easy Integration: Simple API for text processing
- Extensible: Can be adapted for other entity types

- Minimal architecture: One Task, one prompt, one result
- Extendable: Easily add new entity types or modify extraction logic
- Use case: Ideal for content analysis, data extraction, and information processing
