General-purpose AI doesn't know FileMaker. Genie does.
Built with FileMaker-native knowledge, live metadata context, and automatic code correction, so the output works in your actual solution.
Every FileMaker step and function, built in.
Full step library, calculation functions, XML rules, and SQL syntax built in, not learned from your prompt.
Generate and apply in the Script Workspace.
Generate new scripts, edit selected sections, work across multiple scripts, or replace entire scripts..
Automatic code correction before you apply.
Validates generated code for issues, repairs automatically or with model-assisted recovery.
Live metadata, always in sync.
Your tables, fields, layouts, scripts, and custom functions stay live and refresh as you work.
Preflight clarification before generation.
Ask short questions when details are missing before generation, so the first-pass output is accurate.
Answer FileMaker questions instantly.
Script steps, functions, error codes, and best practices are built in, with optional web search.
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.
Query Data
Stop guessing and start seeing. Run natural-language SQL queries against your schema with built-in guardrails. View results as raw output, tables, or charts in real time, then export visuals as PNG for sharing.
Generate Code
Generate FileMaker-ready code for scripts, steps, and calculations from a simple prompt. Preview and refine before applying directly in Script Workspace. Works with one script or many, understanding the full multi-script context.
Ask & Debug
Ask questions in plain language, explore best practices, or debug what’s not working. Genie uses your current script context and web search when needed to deliver accurate, FileMaker-specific guidance and fixes.
Database Operations
Make database changes safely with natural language. Create tables and fields, insert or update records, and alter or delete structures. Every operation includes guardrails: previews, explicit confirmations, and controlled apply.
Built For Real FileMaker Work
Full capability overview across scripting, query, data, and guidance, grounded in your actual solution.
Script Engineering
- Grab script lines or full scripts from the Script Workspace
- Copy, Paste, and Edit actions directly from the Script Workspace
- Generate script snippets, script parts, or full scripts
- Apply a snippet or multiple scripts in one flow
- Quick Chat for fast in-context edits without opening the full workflow
- Dependency extraction across Table Occurrences, Tables, Layouts, and Scripts
- Custom Functions import and usage
Repair & Reliability
- Structural guardrails to protect script flow during generation and repair
- Automatic validation and model-assisted repair for generated code
- Targeted repair on the affected steps instead of rewriting everything
- FileMaker structure protection during repair
- Warnings for unknown step IDs before you apply
- Preflight clarification before committing to work
- Never overwrite existing code; adds a prefix to generated scripts
Guidance & Context
- Ask any FileMaker question and get accurate answers, built-in knowledge with optional web search
- Debug and troubleshoot scripts with step-by-step reasoning
- Web Search mode for up-to-date external references with source links
- Live Metadata Explorer with tables, fields, layouts, scripts, and custom functions in sync
- Attached context badges so you always see what Genie is working from
- Persistent Chat History with search, open, delete, and clear all
Query
- Natural language queries with read-only protection and FileMaker SQL guardrails
- Table, chart, and raw output, switchable without rerunning
- CSV and PNG export for results and charts
Data
- Create, update or delete tables and fields from a natural language description
- Insert, update or delete records with explicit confirmation before execution
- Ask for multiple changes in plain text, and get a full migration plan with staged SQL commands
AI Providers & Settings
- Supports Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and Custom providers
- Separate model settings for coding and logistics stages
- Choose provider, model, and reasoning effort per role
- Max-question controls for preflight clarification
- Use a two-stage pipeline to optimize model usage.
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.
