Watch Genie Build a FileMaker App
A real end-to-end Genie walkthrough in FileMaker: starting from a blank file, I enable the plugin, create tables and layouts, populate sample data, generate charts, alter schema, ask FileMaker questions, and build a full script with XML preview and one-click apply. You’ll also see fail-safe checks and model switching in action, so this is a practical look at how Genie works in real development.
Ask for logic help in plain language
Get unstuck quickly. Describe the logic you need or ask for debugging help, and Genie returns clear, FileMaker-specific guidance using your current script context.
Generate FileMaker‑ready XML
Turn intent into implementation. Generate complex script steps and calculations as native XML you can preview, refine, and apply directly to Script Workspace in one click. Supports single or multiple scripts.
Query data with table/chart outputs
Stop guessing and start seeing. Run natural-language SQL workflows against your schema to visualize results in real time for validation and quick reporting.
Create, alter, and manage your database with natural language
Create tables and fields, insert and update records, alter existing structures, and delete records or tables using natural-language commands powered by SQL. Every operation runs through safety guardrails like previews, explicit confirmations, and controlled apply flows.
What makes it different ?
-
Select tables, fields, layouts, and script headers to give Genie precise, app-specific context for higher-quality output.
-
Enable real-time web research for up-to-date FileMaker/API references and integration details, with clickable sources.
-
Preflight asks clarifying questions when details are missing, then combines your answers into a stronger prompt before sending to the main model.
-
Route planning to a reasoning model and execution/code generation to a coding model for better quality and control.
-
Genie injects FileMaker-native knowledge into every run, including script step IDs, XML structure rules, and FileMaker conventions, in addition to your selected metadata context. This sharply reduces hallucinated steps and invalid XML, resulting in more reliable, apply-ready output.
-
After generation, Genie analyzes XML output and requests/executes corrections for step IDs, structure, and FileMaker XML format consistency.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
FileMaker developers, consultants, and teams who want faster delivery, cleaner handoffs, and more reliable project execution.
-
Genie applies FileMaker-specific context before and after generation, producing outputs that are more relevant and implementation-ready.
-
FileMaker Knowledge Injection applies Genie’s built-in FileMaker knowledge before generation, including script step IDs, XML structure rules, and platform conventions. This helps reduce hallucinated steps and invalid XML.
-
Currently macOS-only. Recommended FileMaker version: 2025+. Windows support is planned.
-
Setup is minimal: install the plug-in and connect your model/provider settings.
-
Nothing is sent automatically. You control what context is attached and submitted to models.
-
Practical, project-oriented outputs guided by your metadata and workflow settings.
-
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, plus local/custom models depending on your provider setup.
