TypeChat looks really interesting.
From what I heard on the Hanselminutes podcast, it can eliminate hallucinations.

TypeChat is a library that makes it easy to build natural language interfaces using types.
Building natural language interfaces has traditionally been difficult. These apps often relied on complex decision trees to determine intent and collect the required inputs to take action. Large language models (LLMs) have made this easier by enabling us to take natural language input from a user and match to intent. This has introduced its own challenges including the need to constrain the model's reply for safety, structure responses from the model for further processing, and ensuring that the reply from the model is valid. Prompt engineering aims to solve these problems, but comes with a steep learning curve and increased fragility as the prompt increases in size.
TypeChat replaces prompt engineering with schema engineering.
Simply define types that represent the intents supported in your natural language application. That could be as simple as…
