Genie product tour
Choose your model
Section titled “Choose your model”Open Settings > Models, configure your provider credentials, and choose your model and Agent reasoning. High is the default preference; the available levels depend on the model. You can switch models from the composer. Reasoning guide.
Ask about your file
Section titled “Ask about your file”Try “Explain the Export Orders script,” using an exact name from your file. Genie reads relevant metadata and script content as needed. Use Metadata Explorer to add specific references or set the allowed scope in Privacy Mode. Context guide.
Prepare and review a change
Section titled “Prepare and review a change”Ask for a specific change: “Add error handling to Export Orders and prepare the edit for review.” With Coding Access, Genie can present a script card after its explanation.
Open Preview, check the target and the proposed script, then use the appropriate Copy, Create Script, or Apply action. These are alternatives for the result you received, not a sequence of buttons to press. For an existing-script Workbench Apply, open the reviewed target in Script Workspace first.
Without Coding Access, Genie still provides human-readable script and calculation guidance. Create and edit scripts.
Work beside your script
Section titled “Work beside your script”Open the compact Script Workspace Agent to keep the conversation beside FileMaker. In Genie 3.0 for macOS, you can resize it and choose its model from the composer. Expand it when you need more room. Compact chat.
Build a Web Viewer
Section titled “Build a Web Viewer”Ask for an interface based on a layout or a set of records. Review its preview, install its helper scripts separately, and copy the Web Viewer calculation or object when available. Test live data inside FileMaker. Web Viewer guide.
Use an external agent
Section titled “Use an external agent”Enable Local MCP Bridge to connect Codex, Cursor, or Claude Desktop. Read access is free; staging, Workbench, evaluation, external script execution, and file activation need Coding Access. Connect your client.
