• It's all about Personalization

  Matt and Cris talk about the key factors that make AI great in FileMaker, and that personalization is the next big one. How much does your database know about you? Does it have memory of what reports you've run? Your job title and main responsibility? Your KPIs?

• How AI is fundamentally changing education and learning FileMaker

  "Sage on the stage" versus "guide on the side" teaching Cris and Matt look back on how we taught FileMaker in the past, and what changes happened with ChatGPT 4, how the Sal Khan book 'Brave New Words'https://www.amazon.com/Brave-New-Words-Revolutionize-Education/dp/0593656954Discussed the "2 Sigma problem" - how one-on-one tutoring dramatically improves learning outcomes, and looking for a large change (2 sigma is nerd-speak for that) is the goal.All well and good, but how can AI provide personalized tutoring at scale?Shared examples of AI tools being used in education (Alpha School, Khan Academy). And the day after we recorded, OpenAI released Study Mode!FileMaker and AI:Discussed semantic search and embeddings in FileMaker and how they are not the same thing. Embedding allows for many more uses other than search. One of Matt's favorites is using it to find duplicate images (which may be a different size, resolution, file format, etc) Explored use cases for Generative AI  (and other forms) in FM development, and that some are on Claris website and that Matt and Cris are developing good uses. The community really needs a library of these, with sample files. A boy can dream.AI is changing our roles as developer from coders to "orchestrators." This aspect is one part of all that we do. To continue the music example, we are also songwriters and editors, engravers, performers, music stand movers, conductors, and more. As we can shift to the 'higher' types of our work, we can spend more time using the skills that set us apart, provide the most value, and bring us the most joy. Useful links:https://openai.com/index/chatgpt-study-mode/https://www.evenrealities.com/products/g1-bhttps://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/87567555.1993.9926781-Personal technology nerd moment:Cris showed his new AI-enabled glasses with teleprompter capabilitieshttps://www.evenrealities.com/Matt mentioned Eva Cassidy, which was sparked from our discussion about orchestration. An amazing orchestrator took her recordings, used AI to separate out her voice stem, composed orchestral arrangements, and edited them together with her voice, and the results are amazing. One of Matt's top 10 albums. It's so sad that she died in 1996 at the age of 33 (of melanoma, not ovarian cancer)https://music.apple.com/us/album/i-can-only-be-me-orchestral/1651033448https://www.gratefulweb.com/articles/eva-cassidys-impeccable-voice-paired-london-symphony-orchestra-i-can-only-be-me-album-0

• Agents and MCP in FileMaker with Michael Wallace and Ronnie Rios

  Cris and Matt are joined by our friend Ronnie Rios from Claris, and rising star Michael Wallace from Empowered Data Solutions. Michael does an amazing demo of a solution he just released for free that allows you to interact with a FileMaker database entirely through natural speech. You have to see it to believe it. He then shows and explains how it works, and compares it to a solution that Ronnie showed at FM Engage that has similar features. This will spark your imagination.Michael's Linkshttps://empowereddatasolutions.comRonnie's Linkshttps://www.folgerscoffee.comCris' Linkshttps://isolutionsai.comMatt's Linkshttps://navarre.training

• AI Impact on work, workers and jobs

  Matt and Cris review the AI focus of Engage in Austin TX, and weave in the main subject: The impact AI has on work, workers and jobs, and where it's headed. Cris referred to this video: Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke told employees in a memo that artificial intelligence is making its way across the company, including when it comes to hiring.https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/07/shopify-ceo-prove-ai-cant-do-jobs-before-asking-for-more-headcount.htmlOne of the videos Cris showed was https://www.llama.com/events/llamacon/2025/Then, Matt referred to Russell's Teapot about the burden of proofhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsN3DCCTqpoAnd this, why AI Doomers are wrong about job replacementhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/EQZe22pW0Fc

• Live at CodeWave in Valencia, Spain – Javier Durá & Doug Wallis

  While presenting a JSON and Beyond session at the CodeWave conference in Spain, I had the chance to sit down with Javier Durá and Doug Wallis.Javier of Afterdata and Jesús Sánchez of dbFile have been hosting this conference for years to serve the large and healthy FileMaker community in Spain. There were 61 people at the conference this year, and about 10 of us were non-native Spanish speakers. Sessions were in either English or Spanish, and all are welcome. The feel of the event was great - lots of time to socialize and meet other members in the community, and some deep and immediately useful content in the presentations. Doug Wallis is the Claris Platform Evangelist, and was previously the Senior Product Manager at Claris. Doug talked with Matt about the current and coming AI features in the platform, and lots of other product details. He presented the conference keynote, and we talked about that, his work evangelizing the platform, what meaningful activities are in process to extend the platform and attract new young developers, and much more.Claris is very fortunate to have Doug and Rick Kalman as the Evangelists, preaching the gospel of FileMaker, patron saint of FileMaker developers. https://www.codewave.esfilemakermagazine.esjavier@filemakermagazine.eshttps://www.navarre.traininghttps://isolutionsai.com/
