As FileMaker 2025 rolls out, Claris keeps highlighting one key theme: improving developer quality of life. But what exactly does that mean? Well, with any release, there’s always a question of where to spend time and money on improving the product. Often, the shiny new technology gets the bulk of the attention (hello, AI) while small improvements that really only impact developers, well, get shifted to the backburner. But with FileMaker 2025, Claris has said - let’s do both!!
Claris has gone ALL IN with AI integration on the FileMaker platform. There are a lot of new features to explore – so many that we could probably do a blog post a week for the next year going into all of them! For today, we’re going to focus on the most basic of the AI tools in the FileMaker Pro app itself. Some things to think about before we get started:
The new release of FileMaker Pro - version 2025 - is out, and it’s a doozy. Every year, around this time of year, Claris releases a new version of its flagship product, FileMaker. In past years, each release has had a handful of new features, as one would expect - iterating on the product, adding in new functions and capabilities designed to make the product better, more secure, more performative. But in our long history of involvement with Claris (40 years!!) this is easily one of the biggest releases of new features. So, take a breath and get comfortable, this is going to take a while!
