Meet Genie: AI Built for Real FileMaker Work
Genie in action inside the FileMaker workflow.
Genie started from a workflow many FileMaker developers already use: copy, paste, test, iterate.
The problem is that generic AI tools still struggle with FileMaker-specific structure, especially XML logic, schema dependencies, and script conventions. Results can be useful, but often need cleanup before they are safe to apply.
Genie is our answer: a FileMaker-aware shell with guardrails, review boundaries, and a practical apply workflow, delivered through a FileMaker plug-in.
What Genie is
Genie is not trying to be an AI model provider.
We’re building a FileMaker-first integration layer so the model you choose can work with better context, better validation, and more reliable output.
That means:
Better FileMaker-aware context handling
Predictable generation and validation flow
Clear review/apply boundaries before anything changes
What Genie Does Today
Understands Real FileMaker Context
Metadata Explorer with live sync for tables, fields, layouts, scripts, and custom functions
Built-in FileMaker knowledge for script steps, calculations, and error codes
Script dependency extraction across table occurrences, tables, layouts, scripts, and custom functions
Works Directly in the Script Workspace
Grab script lines or full scripts from the script workspace
Copy, paste, and edit Script XML directly
Generate script snippets, script parts, full scripts, or multiple scripts in one flow
Import and use custom functions
Applies with Safety Controls
Structural guardrails to protect script flow during generation and repair
Automatic validation and model-assisted XML repair before apply
Targeted repair of affected steps instead of rewriting everything
Warnings for unknown step IDs before apply
Preflight clarification when requests are incomplete
Supports ASK, Query, and Data Work
Ask FileMaker questions and get quick guidance
Debug and troubleshoot scripts
Web Search mode for up-to-date references with source links
Natural-language Query with read-only protection and FileMaker SQL checks
Natural-language Data and schema changes with confirmation guardrails
Table, chart, and raw outputs with CSV/PNG export
Gives You Model and Budget Control
Two-stage CODE pipeline with separate settings for planning and coding
Supports Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and custom providers
Provider, model, and effort selection by role
Budget controls for context and output limits
Developer Trace for request/response visibility
Our goal
We’re building a fully integrated AI experience for real FileMaker development, not a demo layer.
Developers already use AI in other ecosystems because it improves speed and reduces repetitive work. We want that same productivity in FileMaker, without losing control or output quality.
We’ve already embedded core FileMaker rules, conventions, and structure into Genie. Our long-term vision expands beyond scripts into layouts, calculations, and broader solution workflows.
Platform and model support
Platform support today: macOS (Windows planned)
Model-agnostic by design: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and local/custom setups
