AI is reshaping software.
FileMaker is meeting the moment.

Try FileMaker

Claris is investing so you can build with the leading AI coding tools and deploy straight into FileMaker. Securely, permissioned, and ready to run.

Our purpose remains the same: take the most powerful technologies available and make them usable by the people closest to the problem. AI makes that purpose more achievable than it’s ever been.

A new way to build.
The same platform you trust.

Agentic development is AI working alongside you to create custom solutions.  Tools like Claude Code, OpenAI’s Codex, and Cursor are already changing how developers work across every platform.

Now Claris is making FileMaker a first-class development target inside agentic tools.

Modern interfaces.

Build web-native UI through conversation with your preferred AI coding environment, rendered inside FileMaker, secured by your existing permissions.

Scripts and schema.

The AI agent understands your file’s structure and FileMaker’s scripting language. Describe the logic you need, and it writes production-quality scripts directly into your solution.

FileMaker at the core.

Use the agent of your choice to accelerate development, while FileMaker remains the trusted platform that brings the solution to life and runs it for the business.

Solve more problems. Deliver even faster.

The opportunity in front problem solvers is bigger than it has ever been. Agentic development takes on more of the building and amplifies the work that has always set the Claris Community apart.

Your knowledge leads.

AI can generate the code. Knowing the business is what makes a solution actually work, and that matters more now than ever.

Work within reach.

Work that once took a team weeks can come together in an afternoon, and projects set aside as too costly become worth building.

More room to create.

With more of the routine work off your plate, your time goes to the problems only you can solve.

FAQs
What is agentic development?

Agentic development is a method of building software in which AI works alongside developers in a structured system. It’s designed to produce production-quality code through a repeatable, reviewable process. Tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex are leading examples of agentic development environments.

How is agentic development different from “vibe coding”?

“Vibe coding” generally refers to using AI to quickly generate code and rough prototypes from natural-language prompts. It emphasizes speed and experimentation over production readiness. Agentic development uses AI systems that can plan, use tools, and iterate toward defined goals, enabling more structured and reliable software development workflows.

What AI tools will work with FileMaker’s agentic development capabilities?

FileMaker is being built as a first-class development target inside leading agentic coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. Developers choose the AI tool they prefer and aren’t locked into a single vendor. As these AI tools improve, the FileMaker development workflow built around them will improve alongside the tools.

Do developers benefit from agentic development?

Yes. Agentic development amplifies what developers can deliver—it doesn’t replace them. AI generates code, but it can’t understand the business: the data, workflows, users, and how the FileMaker solution works under real conditions. That business knowledge is a strong asset in this new era of AI-powered development.

Do I need FileMaker 2026 for the developer previews?

Yes. FileMaker 2026 lays the groundwork for agentic development. Updating to FileMaker 2026 now is a great way to get prepared for when developer previews open later this summer.
