For years, much of the most valuable FileMaker knowledge has been difficult to discover. Some of it lives inside conference portals. Some appears during live streams and then disappears beneath hundreds of unrelated videos. Some is published without enough context to understand why it matters.

Why FileMaker Needs a Real Text Standard for Humans, IDEs, and AI Agents I recently gave another presentation about ai2fm.com, .fmscript, and the future of FileMaker development in the age of AI agents. This one was different. The first presentations introduced the idea: yes, we can copy FileMaker scripts out of Script Workspace, work with

It was not a polished slide-only presentation. It was a working demonstration. We opened real tools, asked real AI models to write real FileMaker scripts, inspected
For the last three months, I have been warning the Claris ecosystem about a hidden mathematical reality in the transition to AI-assisted coding: The Token Tax. Yesterday, a report from Fortune and Yahoo Finance proved exactly why this matters at an enterprise scale. According to the report, Microsoft has begun actively canceling internal Claude Code licenses for its own engineers.

Dignity: Structural Calibration Dignity is not about pride or emotional elevation; it is a measure of baseline integrity. It is the capacity to hold one’s shape
