Smarter Prompts, Better Results: How to Direct Codex Like a Pro
The real magic is not just using Codex — it’s knowing how to guide it. In this session, Nick Hunter will reveal how to structure prompts, provide context, ask better questions, and get dramatically better output from AI. Attendees will see how the quality of the result depends on the quality of the direction, and how a FileMaker developer can learn to drive Codex with clarity, precision, and purpose. Learn how to write better prompts for development Give Codex the context it actually needs Ask for more accurate and useful output Reduce vague answers and AI guesswork Structure requests for scripts, logic, and integrations Guide Codex step by step through complex tasks Build a repeatable workflow for better AI collaboration Start thinking like an AI-powered developer

Master FileMaker Server Logs: Debug Scripts and Trace Events
Nick Hunter will show how to turn FileMaker Server logs into a powerful window into your system.

This session is all about using logs as a smart, practical tool for debugging and deeper FileMaker analysis. Read server logs with a developer’s eye Trace script execution and event flow Find errors faster and with more confidence Investigate what really happened on the server Follow the sequence behind failures and issues Understand user, script, and server interactions Spot useful patterns and warning signs Use logs to debug smarter, not harder

Still Stuck with Old FileMaker UI? Rub the Lamp: Use Codex and AI to Give FileMaker the UI It Always Needed
Tired of the same old calendar date picker? Tired of having no sliders, no modern buttons, no rearrangeable portals, no drag and drop, and feeling like FileMaker won’t give you the interface your users deserve? In this exciting session, Nick Hunter will show how Codex and the power of AI can help turn those wishes into reality. It’s like rubbing a magic lamp — except instead of a genie, you have an AI development partner ready to help you imagine, design, and build the modern features FileMaker developers have wanted for years. This webinar is all about breaking out of the old limitations mindset. Nick will demonstrate how AI can help you dream bigger, prototype faster, and create companion interfaces and modern experiences that go far beyond standard FileMaker tools. If you’ve ever looked at your solution and thought, “I wish FileMaker could do this…” — this session is for you. Replace tired old UI patterns with modern ideas Go beyond the standard FileMaker date picker Explore sliders, modern buttons, and richer controls Imagine rearrangeable portals and drag-and-drop workflows Use Codex to help design custom interface solutions Prototype the features FileMaker doesn’t give you out of the box Turn “I wish FileMaker had this” into a real project Discover how AI can help bring your UI dreams to life

Still Calling It Anchor-Buoy? Cut the Legacy Spider-Web First
A FileMaker file may look like it has been converted to Anchor Buoy, while still hiding old direct spider-web relationships underneath. Those leftover links may still function, but they connect worlds that should now be isolated. They weaken the architecture, create confusion, and leave the file stuck in an uncomfortable half-converted state. In this session, Nick Hunter will show how to identify those legacy cross-world connections, understand what depends on them, and remove them safely so the file can finally reflect a true Anchor-Buoy structure. This webinar is not just about deleting relationship lines. It is about architectural cleanup, refactoring discipline, and controlled change. Nick will also share a practical AI lesson from the real world: when AI became overwhelmed by relational complexity, the answer was not more theory — it was pure human common-sense logic. Identify old spider-web relationships hiding inside Anchor-Buoy files Understand why leftover direct links weaken the architecture Learn how to safely cut cross-world relationships See how to detect what depends on legacy relationship paths Refactor a half-converted file into a cleaner true Anchor-Buoy structure See how human logic solved what AI alone could not
