You describe tables, scripts, and fields in a prompt, then repair what the model guessed wrong.
Genie makesFileMaker AI easierand safer.
Genie brings the in-app AI assistant, compact Script Workspace agent, Workbench, Local MCP, project rules, calculations, and controlled creation into one workflow FileMaker developers can understand and review.
- AI inside FileMaker: assistant, compact agent, calculations, and custom functions stay close to the work.
- Live context: scripts, layouts, fields, calculations, useful data, and project rules can guide the answer.
- Reviewed Workbench: preview, create, copy, apply, or hand off work without silent mutation.
- Solid Local MCP: Codex, Claude, Cursor, Klai, and your tools can read real context and stage work.
- FileMaker compatibility: built for real systems from FileMaker 19 through current releases.
- Provider choice: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google/Gemini, xAI, or Custom / Local compatible endpoints.
Compatible with FileMaker 19 through current releases. Newer versions may enable more native actions.

Why Genie changes the FileMaker AI loop.
The problem is no longer just generating text. The leap is giving AI real FileMaker context, a review surface, and a controlled path into Script Workspace, calculations, reports, or external tools.
Generic AIDetached output
GenieGenie for FileMaker
Context read from the file
Genie reads the open file, scripts, selections, metadata, calculations, and useful data before answering.
Detached output
The model gives you an answer you still need to convert, paste, repair, and attach to the right FileMaker target.
Prepared FileMaker work
Genie keeps the result in a reviewed flow: Preview, Copy, Create Script, Apply, Run, or MCP handoff.
One locked provider
You depend on whatever model the tool picked, even when another route fits the job better.
Bring the right provider
Use OpenAI, Anthropic, Google/Gemini, xAI, or Custom / Local compatible endpoints by workflow.
Opaque automation
Assistants that change files without review are hard to trust in production.
Explicit control
Genie can prepare serious work, but it does not silently mutate your FileMaker file.
Genie connects FileMaker to the AI tools you already use.
Work in Genie, Script Workspace, Codex, Cursor, Claude, or a Klai web app. Local MCP keeps real FileMaker context available while Genie remains the review and apply surface.

The loop
From open file to reviewed FileMaker work.
Understand the file
Genie gathers scripts, selections, tables, fields, layouts, calculations, rules, and safe query results based on the task.
Prepare the work
Genie assembles the target, constraints, and FileMaker evidence so the turn becomes grounded work instead of generic chat.
Review the result
Scripts, queries, reports, documents, DATA work, and MCP handoffs are staged with warnings, preview, and controls.
Act deliberately
Create a script, apply a change, copy an object, or hand off work only after review.
New in Genie 2.3
Genie brings the in-app assistant, Workbench, and Local MCP together.
Genie reads the open file
Use live FileMaker context from scripts, layouts, fields, calculations, custom functions, safe query evidence, and project rules before asking AI to prepare work.
AI beside Script Workspace
Use the compact Genie agent beside the active script for fast questions, targeted edits, and reviewed Create Script or Apply actions without leaving the scripting flow.
Reviewed script creation
Generated script work is staged with warnings and preview controls. Create Script can create supported new scripts while existing-script edits remain deliberate and reviewed.
Workbench for every handoff
Workbench holds in-app output and staged MCP work from tools like Codex, Claude, Cursor, and Klai, keeping every handoff visible before Run, Copy, Create Script, or Apply.
Reports, charts, documents, PDFs
Genie can prepare read-only reports, markdown tables, charts, downloadable documents, and PDF exports from FileMaker-aware context when the provider supports the workflow.
Providers, plugins, and MCP
Use OpenAI, Anthropic, Google/Gemini, xAI, or Custom / Local compatible endpoints, with plugin-aware prompts and controlled Local MCP for external agents and Klai workflows.
Control
Your data. Your models. Your rules.
Genie is local-first and privacy-respecting by default. You choose the provider, context, MCP capabilities, and when reviewed work is allowed to touch FileMaker.

Plain answers before you install.
What can Genie read directly from FileMaker?
Genie can work with the open file, active script, selected script steps, tables, table occurrences, fields, layouts, relationships, value lists, custom functions, calculations, and project rules. For data questions, Genie can also run read-only SELECT queries.
Can Genie and MCP work across multiple FileMaker files?
Yes. Local MCP can list already-open FileMaker files, identify the active file, read bounded metadata for a named file, and activate another open file window before performing live reads. Activation only brings that file to the foreground; it does not change data or open a closed file.
Can Genie create and edit scripts without the clipboard?
Yes. Create Script can import a reviewed new script directly into FileMaker. Apply Code can apply a reviewed edit to the current script when its context is valid. Changes are checked against the active target, and MCP automatic creation never replaces an existing script: an edit becomes a new version.
Does Genie change FileMaker automatically?
By default, answers, live reads, SELECT queries, and MCP inspection remain read-only or review-first. Create Script, Apply Code, and DATA use Genie controls and confirmations. A separate beta setting can let trusted authenticated Local MCP clients automatically run Create Script for supported new-script stages, and it can be disabled at any time.
What can Codex, Claude, Cursor, or Klai do through Genie MCP?
They can inspect open files, scripts, metadata, relationships, and project rules; evaluate FileMaker calculations; read SELECT results; prepare a new script or script edit; and send CODE, DATA, or LAYOUT work into Genie-owned flows. Workbench keeps external handoffs visible, with Preview, Run, Copy, Create Script, or Apply actions depending on the work.
What is the Compact AGENT in Script Workspace?
It is Genie in a compact window beside the active script. It can resolve the current script, fetch exact content when the request needs it, explain or review that script, and prepare a new script without forcing you out of Script Workspace.
Can Genie produce reports, charts, documents, or PDFs?
Yes. AGENT can combine FileMaker context with read-only SELECT data to produce analysis, markdown tables, charts, documents, and downloadable PDFs when the selected provider supports the workflow.
Which FileMaker actions still remain manual?
Table occurrences, relationship graph edits, complete layout shells, themes, privilege sets, accounts, custom menus, and some FileMaker administration remain manual. Genie can analyze them and prepare guidance, but it does not pretend to apply those changes silently.
Which FileMaker versions and AI providers are supported?
Genie is designed for FileMaker 19 through current releases; newer versions can enable additional native actions. You can use OpenAI, Anthropic, Google/Gemini, xAI, and Custom / Local OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Exact capabilities depend on the FileMaker version, selected model, privileges, and setup.
