Clean up what your agents break.
Deterministic repair tools for AI agent workflows. We fix the messy, broken structured output that LLMs produce — so your pipelines don’t have to.

{ "name": "Alice", "role": "engineer", "active": true, "retries": 3 }
LLMs don’t follow instructions.
You asked for JSON. You got markdown code fences, single-quoted strings, trailing commas, and a paragraph of apology before the actual output. Your parser crashes. Your agent loop retries. Your pipeline burns tokens on a problem that shouldn’t exist.
Every malformed response is a failed agent run, a wasted LLM call, and a user waiting for nothing.
Deterministic repair. No guessing.
Strip & Extract
Removes code fences, wrapper text, and apology preamble. Extracts the one obvious JSON block from whatever the LLM decided to wrap it in.
Fix Common Breakage
Repairs unquoted keys, single-quoted strings, trailing commas, and invalid backslash escapes. Deterministic transforms — no LLM in the repair loop.
Honest Failure
Won’t invent missing values, silently merge duplicate keys, or guess between ambiguous JSON blocks. If it can’t fix it cleanly, it tells you why.
What it does. What it doesn’t.
Does
- Strip code fences and wrapper text
- Extract a single obvious JSON object/array
- Repair a tested set of malformed JSON patterns
- Apply lightweight schema coercion
- Report exactly what changed
Doesn’t
- Invent missing values
- Choose between multiple JSON blocks
- Silently accept duplicate-key ambiguity
- Convert prose into JSON
- Use an LLM to "fix" your LLM’s output
Try it yourself.

Pricing & access
Pay-per-use on Apify
You pay only for the compute your runs consume. Apify bills in compute units (1 CU = 1 GB-hour of RAM). A typical run uses minimal resources — most JSON repairs complete in under a second.
Expanding access
Apify is the only way to use Agent Output Cleaner today. We’re working on additional access methods:
Ship agents that don’t break in production.
