+A [Zod](https://zod.dev/) type can be passed in `defSchema` and it will be automatically converted to JSON schema.
+The GenAIScript also exports the `z` object from Zod for convenience.
 
+```js
+// import from genaiscript
+import { z } from "genaiscript/runtime"
+// or directly from zod
+// import { z } from "zod"
+// create schema using zod
+const CitySchema = z.array(

+        population: z.number(),
