FileMaker can now support AI, but most teams still aren’t using it to its full potential. Not because they don’t want to, but because implementing it effectively is still too complex for most teams.
With the release of version 21.0, Claris made LLM integration easier, especially for developers. However, for non-technical users, a gap still exists. There’s no true plug-and-play solution, and building AI tools that deliver real business value requires time, expertise, and evolving best practices.
FM Agent bridges that gap!
Introducing FM Agent
FM Agent is a FileMaker add-on that makes AI immediately usable within your existing applications. Rather than requiring custom integrations or deep technical knowledge, it provides a direct way to interact with your data using natural language and built-in AI capabilities.
What FM Agent Can Do
At its core, FM Agent allows users to query FileMaker data in plain English. Instead of navigating layouts, understanding table relationships, or building reports, users can ask questions and receive accurate results. The system interprets intent and returns relevant data without requiring knowledge of field names or database structure.
Beyond basic querying, FM Agent enables on-demand data analysis and visualization. Users can request summaries, trends, or comparisons, and the system generates charts and insights from live data without any manual report setup. This allows teams to move from raw data to meaningful understanding in seconds.
A key strength of FM Agent is its simplicity. It installs as a standard FileMaker add-on with minimal configuration, enabling teams to activate AI features within their existing solutions quickly. There's no need for prompt engineering or prior experience with AI tools, and it works within your current application's structure with no redesign required!
In practice, FM Agent serves as a bridge between AI capabilities and real-world FileMaker usage. It reduces the technical barrier to accessing data, shortens the path from question to insight, and makes AI a practical part of everyday workflows rather than a separate or experimental feature.
Familiar Interface
FM Agent is designed to feel immediately intuitive and natural to use. If you have used tools like ChatGPT or Claude, the interaction model will feel familiar. You can:
Ask questions in plain language
Refine your requests as needed
Receive responses in a conversational format
There is no need to learn new query syntax or navigate complex menus. The focus is on reducing friction so users can start exploring their data right away, using patterns they already understand.
Who is FM Agent For?
FM Agent is designed for teams that want to get more value out of their FileMaker systems without increasing their reliance on developers!
Many organizations reach a point where their data is technically accessible, but not easily usable. FM Agent addresses that gap by making it simple to ask questions, explore information, and understand what is happening in the system without needing to know its structure.
As a result, teams can improve overall usability, increase user adoption, and surface issues earlier before they escalate into larger problems.
Built with Data Security in Mind
FM Agent operates within the boundaries of your existing FileMaker solution while maintaining strict control over how data is handled. Only an approved database schema is shared with the agent, allowing it to understand the structure without exposing underlying records.
Recorded data is never sent outside of your system unless it is explicitly included in a user’s request. Organizations can also opt out of chat storage entirely, giving further control over how interactions are retained.
Administrative controls allow teams to manage access and usage, ensuring the system aligns with internal policies. Additionally, no data is used for model training, and requests to delete data can be submitted at any time.
The goal is to deliver powerful AI capabilities without compromising the security or integrity of your data!
Our Goal
FM Agent is built to deliver an AI experience that works out of the box. It requires minimal configuration and does not depend on prompt engineering or prior experience with AI tools.
More importantly, it's designed to enhance your existing FileMaker applications, not replace or restructure them. The focus is not just on adding AI capabilities, but on making FileMaker applications more reliable, accessible, and immediately useful!
Getting Started
FM Agent uses a tiered pricing model that makes it easy to start and scale as your usage grows. Teams can begin with a free tier to explore core functionality, with additional tiers available that unlock more advanced capabilities, higher usage limits, and expanded features. This structure allows organizations to adopt AI incrementally without committing to a large upfront investment.
