How and why to build a FileMaker Help Request system with Tony White
A well build FileMaker Help Request system can increase the value of almost any FileMaker system by making it easier for: • users, managers, and developers to submit bug reports, feature request and questions. • users, managers to "pass found sets of records around" • project owners to manage FileMaker projects efficiently • developers to respond to bug reports, feature request and questions thereby increasing project return on investment A FileMaker Help Request system should: [1] allow users to submit Help Requests (4 types) with detailed metadata (file, layout, record, etc.) using GET functions and Design Functions with or without screen captures and/or snapshot links [2] automatically send Script errors and Script usage reports to the Help Request system

FileMaker - How Nick Hunter uses AI in his everyday work flow - Day 1
This webinar is for FileMaker developers who want to understand how AI can help with real daily work: faster prototyping, cleaner logic, better structure, stronger architecture.iio We will cover collaboration workflow: how to talk to AI, explain the goal, provide samples, how to iterate and use Codex connected to a project, how files are received and generated, and how architecture can be designed through conversation before anything is built. The session will focus on working with Save a Copy as XML, sending real examples to AI, analyzing existing FileMaker objects, improving half-finished work, generating new objects, and using AI to complete or correct what has already been started. We will also look at how AI creates and refines scripts, script steps, tables, fields, layouts, buttons, interface objects, relationships, logic, and architecture. We will explore the difference between asking AI to wrap a full table, a script, or generate only selected script steps, and how this changes the quality and usefulness of the result.

Debugging and benchmarking calculations in FileMaker with HOnza and Vince
Today, with the help of AI, you can get even complex custom functions and other FileMaker calculations written in virtually no time. But what if they don't work as expected? Or what if they are slow to evaluate? Join us to learn how to quickly debug and fix them, with and without AI.

Understanding AI Models: What’s Really Behind the Curtain
AI models are not magic—they are tools, each with strengths, weaknesses, and specific use cases. In this first session, we break down what different AI models actually are and why choosing the right one matters. You will learn the core differences between fast models and reasoning models, what impacts quality, speed, and cost, and why using the wrong model can quietly hurt your workflow. We will demystify the landscape so you stop guessing and start making intentional decisions.
