Edit and Upgrade Existing Workflows
This example is the most realistic day-to-day workflow for many FileMaker developers.
Show how to capture an existing script, ask Genie for a focused improvement, and review the generated delta before apply.
Suggested flow
Section titled “Suggested flow”- Open the existing script in FileMaker.
- Use Add Selection to capture the relevant area.
- Ask Genie for one concrete upgrade.
- Review the resulting preview.
- Apply the change and show the updated script.
Good demo prompts
Section titled “Good demo prompts”Add better error handling around this find loop.Refactor this script so the hardcoded layout name comes from a variable.Upgrade this import flow so it validates missing data before commit.
What to highlight in the demo
Section titled “What to highlight in the demo”- why a focused scope makes edits cleaner
- how Genie stays tied to the captured selection
- what to look for before clicking Apply Code
- how to iterate when the first result is close but not perfect
Suggested media
Section titled “Suggested media”- one short walkthrough video
- one screenshot of the captured context badge
- one screenshot of Preview Code
