The FileMaker 2025 release marks a major leap forward for Claris developers, introducing a suite of AI and large language model (LLM) capabilities that bring intelligence directly into your custom applications. With these new features, businesses can build smarter, faster, and more intuitive systems—using AI not just for novelty, but as a core part of their workflows.

From generating dynamic content to enabling natural language search and semantic analysis, FileMaker’s AI toolkit unlocks possibilities that were unthinkable in earlier versions. Here’s a look at what’s new and how it could transform your apps.

Generate AI Responses with Prompt-Based Scripting

Developers can now integrate AI-generated content directly into their apps using prompt-based scripting. With the Generate Response from Model feature, FileMaker can send user-defined prompts to an AI provider like OpenAI or Cohere and return context-aware results in real time.

Use case: Automatically generate email drafts, marketing content, or client-facing summaries directly within your FileMaker system—tailored to your specific business needs.

Perform SQL Queries and Finds Using Natural Language

With Perform SQL Query / Find by Natural Language, users no longer need to know complex query syntax. FileMaker interprets plain text commands, converts them into SQL or FileMaker queries, and executes them seamlessly.

Use case: A team member types “Show all orders over $5,000 from last quarter” into a search field. FileMaker translates it into a precise query and displays the results instantly.

Reusable Prompt Templates and Regression Models

The addition of Prompt Templates and ML Regression Models allows developers to create reusable AI logic within apps. This makes it easy to standardize AI-powered processes and apply predictive analytics where needed.

Use case: Build a predictive model to forecast inventory demand based on historical sales and integrate it into multiple layouts or workflows.

RAG Actions for Knowledge Base Integration

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) enables FileMaker to pull information from PDFs and documents in your system and use it as a context source for AI responses.

Use case: Create an AI-powered help assistant that answers employee questions using your company’s internal manuals and policies stored in FileMaker.

Vector Functions for AI Semantic Search

With new vector math functions, FileMaker supports semantic search capabilities. This allows applications to understand user intent and deliver more relevant results—even when exact keywords aren’t used.

• Normalize, add, and subtract embeddings for advanced data analysis.
  
  

• Enable semantic search on text and images for a more intuitive user experience.
  
  

Use case: A user searches “eco-friendly packaging” and FileMaker retrieves related product records, even if those exact words don’t appear in descriptions.

Why These Features Matter

The new AI/LLM features in FileMaker allow businesses to:

• Work Smarter – Automate content creation, search, and data analysis tasks that were previously manual.
  
  

• Deliver Better UX – Let users interact with apps in natural language, improving accessibility and adoption.
  
  

• Stay Competitive – Build intelligent systems without relying on external platforms or extensive custom code.
  
  

• Maintain Data Security – Keep AI workflows within the trusted FileMaker ecosystem.
  
  

FileMaker’s new AI/LLM capabilities are designed to help developers and businesses build the next generation of custom apps—smarter, faster, and more intuitive.

You might not be aware that Claris has provided significant enhancements to FileMaker’sPerform Script on Server (PSoS) feature, giving developers more power and flexibility than ever. With new callback capabilities and pause/resume options, PSoS workflows can now deliver smoother user experiences and more efficient server-side processing.

These updates are especially impactful for teams building apps that rely on real-time data updates, long-running processes, or multi-step server interactions.

How to Leverage Perform Script on Server?

Recent PSoS features introduces two key upgrades:

• Callback Support – After a server-side script runs, FileMaker can now execute a designated callback script on the client, making it easy to handle results, refresh layouts, or trigger additional logic.
  
  

• Pause and Resume Options – Developers can now pause a PSoS session and later resume it, allowing for multi-step workflows without holding up server resources unnecessarily.
  
  

These improvements mean developers no longer need to rely on workarounds like polling or complex script chaining to keep clients in sync with server-side processes.

Why It Matters

In traditional PSoS implementations, a script would run on the server and either finish silently or require additional scripts to manage user feedback. With callbacks and pause/resume, developers gain:

• Improved User Feedback: Automatically notify users when server-side tasks complete, display results, or update UI elements.
  
  

• Greater Workflow Flexibility: Pause scripts during lengthy processes like imports or API calls, then resume when needed.
  
  

• Reduced Resource Usage:  Free up server threads during wait times or external calls.
  
  

• Simpler Code: Replace complex polling or looping with clean, callback-driven workflows.
  
  

Example Use Case: Generating Reports Asynchronously

Consider an app where users request PDF reports that take time to compile. With enhanced PSoS:

1. The user triggers the report request.
   
   

2. A PSoS script starts generating the report server-side and pauses if needed while waiting for large data imports or calculations.
   
   

3. Once complete, the callback script on the client updates the UI with a “Your report is ready” message and provides a download link.
   
   

This workflow keeps the user interface responsive without forcing them to wait for the entire server process to complete.

Developer Benefits

In addition to improving user experiences, these PSoS enhancements help developers:

• Streamline Codebases: Fewer workarounds and cleaner separation of client/server logic.
  
  

• Build Smarter Apps: Support more complex, multi-step server workflows with minimal UI interruption.
  
  

• Support Scalability: Handle more concurrent users efficiently by freeing server resources during pauses.
  
  

The enhanced Perform Script on Server with callback and pause/resume options is a game changer for FileMaker developers. It enables richer client interactions, smarter server workflows, and more efficient resource usage— all key for building responsive, scalable solutions.

Claris, an Apple subsidiary, is a leader in low-code development tools. With a rich history of empowering problem solvers, Claris provides a powerful suite of tools including FileMaker, Claris Studio, and Claris Connect—all working together to help teams build custom apps faster and smarter.

The next wave of innovation is here—FileMaker’s AI capabilities are expanding rapidly, with new script steps and support for multiple providers like OpenAI, Cohere, and even self-hosted large language models (LLMs). For businesses that manage high-volume data, this opens up incredible opportunities to automate repetitive tasks, gain insights faster, and deliver smarter workflows.

This article explores a real-world example of how these tools could transform operations for a temporary employment agency and outlines how to set up a powerful AI-powered workflow in FileMaker.

The Use Case: Summarizing Candidate Work History Automatically

A temp agency receives hundreds of applications every week. Each candidate submits a detailed work history via an online form. Staff must then:

• Review the submissions
  
  

• Summarize them into a concise, professional paragraph for client-facing documents
  
  

• Upload the summary into their database for future reference
  
  

This manual process takes hours of staff time each day. With FileMaker’s new AI capabilities, the process can be streamlined and largely automated. It’s a simple process of collecting data in gravity forms, storing them in Claris FileMaker, sending it to the AI of your choice, and then taking that information back to FileMaker.

Step 1: Collect Candidate Data via Gravity Forms

Candidates submit their experience and work history through a Gravity Forms web form. Fields such as previous jobs, skills, and certifications are automatically sent to FileMaker using Claris Connect.

Step 2: Store Raw Data in FileMaker

In FileMaker, the raw text from the form is stored in the candidate’s record. This serves as the source material for the AI.

Step 3: Send Data to an AI Model

Using FileMaker’s new AI script steps, the app sends the candidate’s work history text to an AI provider.

Example prompt template:
“Summarize this work history into a concise, professional paragraph suitable for client-facing documents.”

The system supports multiple AI providers—OpenAI for general summaries, Cohere for narrative-focused outputs, or a self-hosted model for organizations with strict data privacy requirements.

Step 4: Generate PDF with Summarized Experience

Once the AI returns the summary, FileMaker:

• Inserts it into a PDF document template
  
  

• Saves the PDF to the candidate’s FileMaker record
  
  

• Notifies staff that the summary is ready
  
  

Step 5: Sync Back for Future Use

The summarized experience is now available in FileMaker for quick reuse in proposals, client presentations, and compliance reporting.

 

For a temp agency, this workflow can:

• Save hours of manual writing each week
  
  

• Improve consistency across candidate profiles
  
  

• Ensure data security by keeping everything within FileMaker
  
  

• Offer flexibility to choose between multiple AI providers
  
  

This workflow is equally valuable for legal firms summarizing case files, healthcare providers compiling patient histories, or sales teams generating lead summaries.

 

With FileMaker’s expanding AI feature set—including vector functions, semantic search, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)—this is only the beginning. Businesses can now build smarter, AI-enhanced workflows natively in FileMaker while using Claris Connect to tie their broader ecosystem together.

User onboarding is one of the most repetitive yet critical tasks for IT and FileMaker admins. When new employees, clients, or users are added to your system, a smooth onboarding experience sets the tone—and saves your team from tedious manual steps. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, emails, and system updates, you can automate it all.

Claris Connect gives FileMaker administrators the ability to streamline user onboarding by triggering automated workflows the moment a new user record is created. From welcome emails to system updates, Claris Connect handles the details—so you can focus on more strategic work. Claris Studio provides the front end, collecting input data and displaying statuses.

The Problem with Manual Onboarding

Without automation, onboarding is a slow, error-prone process. Important steps can be missed. Someone may forget to create a login or assign permissions, costing valuable time. The experience may be inconsistent across teams or for individuals– some may not get the same information or have it presented in the same way. Manual entry and updating can also mean that system records aren’t synced. Lastly, but most importantly, IT and Admin teams may already be stretched thin. Every new user adds to the queue, and this may not be the best use of these teams.

Claris Connect solves this by turning user creation in FileMaker into a smart, multi-step workflow.

How Claris Connect Automates User Onboarding

Claris Connect lets you create no-code flows that trigger based on FileMaker actions—like creating a new user record. Once triggered, the flow can:

• Send Welcome Emails Automatically
