```elixir
defmodule SpamPrediction do
  use Ecto.Schema
  use Instructor.Validator

  @doc """
  ## Field Descriptions:
  - class: Whether or not the email is spam.
  - reason: A short, less than 10 word rationalization for the classification.
  - score: A confidence score between 0.0 and 1.0 for the classification.
  """
  @primary_key false
  embedded_schema do
    field(:class, Ecto.Enum, values: [:spam, :not_spam])
    field(:reason, :string)
    field(:score, :float)
  end

  @impl true
  def validate_changeset(changeset) do
    changeset
    |> Ecto.Changeset.validate_number(:score,

    ]
  },
  response_model: UserInfo,

)
{:ok, %UserInfo{name: "John Doe", age: 42}}
```

--------------------------------

### Instruct with Gemini Adapter and JSON Schema

Source: https://hexdocs.pm/instructor_lite/readme.html

Use `InstructorLite.instruct/2` with the Gemini adapter, providing a `json_schema` for response validation. Ensure the Gemini API key is available.

```elixir
iex> InstructorLite.instruct(%{
    contents: [
      %{ 
        role: "user",
        parts: [%{text: "John Doe is forty-two years old"}]
      }
    ]
  },

file = Kino.FS.file_path("shopify-screenshot.png") |> File.read!()
base64_image = "data:image/png;base64," <> Base.encode64(file)

{:ok, result} =
  InstructorLite.instruct(%{
      model: "gpt-4o-mini",
      input: [
        %{ role: "user", content: [ %{type: "input_text", text: "What is the product details of the following image?"}, %{type: "input_image", image_url: base64_image} ]}

  use InstructorLite.Instruction

  @notes """
  ## Field Descriptions:
  - class: Whether or not the email is spam.
  - reason: A short, less than 10 word rationalization for the classification.

end
```

### Implement Ollama Adapter initial_prompt Callback

Source: https://hexdocs.pm/instructor_lite/custom-ollama-adapter.html

Enriches the parameters with system messages and sets the JSON schema format for structured output. It defaults the model to 'deepseek-r1:8b' if not provided.

```elixir
defmodule OllamaAdapterInitialPrompt do
  def initial_prompt(params, opts) do
    # This prompt will be a message with a "system" role
    sys_message = [
      %{role: "system", content: InstructorLite.Prompt.prompt(opts)}
    ]

    params
    # This adapter might work with different models,
    # so let's put a default one but now insist on it
    |> Map.put_new(:model, "deepseek-r1:8b")
    |> Map.put(:stream, false)
    # The user has likely provided their own prompt, so we need to be nice and not overwrite it
    |> Map.update(:messages, sys_message, fn msgs -> sys_message ++ msgs end)
    |> Map.put(:format, Keyword.fetch!(opts, :json_schema))
  end
end
```

  Field Descriptions:
  - class: Whether or not the email is spam.
  - reason: A short, less than 10-word rationalization for the classification.
  - score: A confidence score between 0.0 and 1.0 for the classification.
  """
  @primary_key false
  embedded_schema do
    field(:class, Ecto.Enum, values: [:spam, :not_spam])

```elixir
require Logger

adventure_description = """
Something strange is happening to your hometown of Willowshore! Nestled on the
banks of a river winding through the legendary Specterwood in Tian Xia’s haunted
land of Shenmen, the people of Willowshore are no strangers to supernatural
threat, but the danger that comes to town on the first day of summer is unlike
anything you’ve ever seen before. Over the four seasons to come, you and your
fellow home-grown heroes must face evil spirits, sinister fiends, and
frightening curses, lest the town of Willowshore succumb to the Season of
Ghosts!
"

opts = [
  response_model: %{toponyms: {:array, :string}},
  adapter_context: [api_key: secret_key]
]

params = InstructorLite.prepare_prompt(%{
      model: "o4-mini",
      reasoning: %{effort: "medium", summary: "auto"},
      input: [
        %{role: "system", content: "Here's an adventure description, please extract all toponyms"},
        %{role: "user", content: adventure_description}
      ]
  }, opts)

{:ok, response} = InstructorLite.Adapters.OpenAI.send_request(params, opts)
{:ok, result} = InstructorLite.consume_response(response, params, opts)

for %{"summary" => summaries} <- response["output"] do
  for %{"type" => "summary_text", "text" => text} <- summaries do
