Genie for macOS 3.3 (Build 88), release 2026.10

Genie 3.3 runs the real Claude Code and Codex agents directly inside FileMaker, beside your scripts and layouts, on the plan you already have. No API key, no API bill. It also changes far more of an existing layout object in place.

• Claude Code and Codex, directly inside FileMaker. Pick one in Genie’s model menu and it works in the Genie window and in the panels beside your scripts and layouts, on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already have. No API key, no API bill. Genie’s own Agent with your API keys is still there.
• Manage your subscription from Genie. Settings > General now has Manage subscription. Change the number of users, switch between monthly and yearly, update your card, download invoices or cancel, all yourself and without contacting support. Manage Your Subscription
• Change the layouts you already have. Ask Genie to change how dates and numbers look, restyle text and colors, hide a button when a field is empty, run a script when someone enters a field, or show five rows in a portal. Genie changes the object itself, so everything you did not ask about stays as it was. A few changes need a newer FileMaker, and the guide says which.
• Calculations on tables used several times. Genie can now create and edit fields with calculations, such as auto-enter values, on a table that appears several times in your relationships graph.
• Auto apply keeps going. It no longer stalls after a very long run of changes.
• Script Workspace stays out of the way. Clicking another FileMaker window no longer pulls it back to the front.
• Rename scripts and script folders. Genie renames them for you. Buttons and triggers that pick a script from the list follow the new name; a script called by name in a calculation does not.
• French and Spanish text is correct. Dialogs, review cards and lists no longer show garbled accents or symbols.
• Clearer messages. Calculation problems say where they are, and a script with no steps can be edited.

Update the plugin and restart FileMaker. Windows stays at 1.5.11 for now, with its own features. We are aiming for it to match the Mac version at the start of November 2026.

Genie for macOS 3.2.5 (Build 87), release 2026.10

Genie 3.2.5 fixes a slowdown in 3.2.4 when saving an edit to a long script.

• Saving edits to long scripts is fast again. In 3.2.4, saving an edit to a script of a thousand steps or more could take many seconds, with Apply and with Auto apply. Apply also paused before it asked for confirmation. Saving now takes a fraction of a second, and Genie writes the same lines as before.

Script changes require a paid plan. Update the plugin and restart FileMaker. Windows remains at 1.5.11.

Genie for macOS 3.2.4 (Build 86), release 2026.10

Genie 3.2.4 lowers what a conversation costs in tokens with every provider, and fixes script edits and custom functions in files where they could fail.

• Lower token use with every provider. In a request that takes several steps, Genie resent the whole conversation at full price on every step. Genie now lets the provider reuse what it has already read, so those steps are billed at the reduced cached rate. This applies to OpenAI, Anthropic and the other providers. Requests with many steps save the most.
• Long conversations are summarized sooner. Genie now summarizes the older part of a conversation at about 120,000 tokens. On models with a very large context, such as Claude Sonnet 5 and Opus 5, a conversation in a file with many scripts could grow far beyond that and be resent in full each time. After a summary, Genie reads a script again before it edits it.
• Agent reasoning starts at Medium. On a new installation, Agent reasoning in Settings › Models starts at Medium instead of High. If you already use Genie, your setting is unchanged. Reasoning is billed as output, so lower it there to spend less or raise it for harder work.
• Script edits change only the lines you asked for. When an edit touched lines above and below a Perform Script step whose script had been deleted, Genie rewrote everything in between and FileMaker refused the change. Genie now writes only the changed lines and leaves the rest as saved.
• Field repetitions in script steps. A step that targets a repeating field, such as Set Field, now keeps the repetition you asked for. Before, the repetition was dropped and the step pointed at the first one.
• Custom functions in files with folders or separators. Creating or editing a custom function failed in a file whose function list had two separators. That is fixed.

Script and custom function changes require a paid plan. Update the plugin and restart FileMaker. Windows remains at 1.5.11.

Genie for macOS 3.2.2 (Build 84), release 2026.10

Genie 3.2.2 can tidy and label the relationships graph, and change more of an existing layout object in place. It also creates custom functions, adds Klai HookSets without the clipboard, and works in any open file without bringing it to the front.

• Tidy a messy relationships graph. Genie reads the whole graph: every table occurrence with its position, size and color, and every relationship. It can then plan a clean layout, with each table and its related occurrences grouped together, nothing overlapping and no occurrence stacked in a corner, and apply it as one change. Ask in plain words, for example “clean up the relationships graph”.
• Table occurrence colors. Genie can set the color of a table occurrence on the graph. Everything else about it stays as it was.
• Notes on the relationships graph. Genie can add, change and delete the colored, labeled notes behind groups of tables, for example to name each group. Genie’s Undo does not cover notes; to edit or remove one by hand, use Manage Database > Relationships. Genie reads back each note’s position and size to check the change, but not its title or color, so look at those on screen.
• Change a layout object in place. On an existing layout, Genie can rename an object, rotate it by 90, 180 or 270 degrees, bring it to the front or send it to the back, and replace the text of a text object while keeping its formatting. Keep a rotated object inside its layout part: if it crosses into another part, FileMaker moves it and Genie reports the change as unverified.
• Custom functions. Genie can create and edit a custom function: its name, parameters, calculation and who can use it. It never renames or deletes one. With Auto apply off, you review and confirm.
• Klai HookSets without the clipboard. Genie can create a Klai HookSet in your file, with its folder, scripts, separators and menu settings, in one step. Existing scripts are never overwritten or deleted.
• Any open file, where it is. Genie reads and changes any file you have open without you bringing it to the front or showing its window. A request works on the file it names.
• Scripts on every FileMaker Pro 19 to 26 release. Genie writes scripts directly on any FileMaker Pro 19, 20, 21, 22 or 26 release, not only the builds it was tested on. If a build lacks a function Genie needs, Genie stops with a clear message before changing anything.

Graph, layout, custom function and HookSet changes require a paid plan. Update the plugin and restart FileMaker. Windows remains at 1.5.11.

Genie for macOS 3.2.1 (Build 83), release 2026.10

Genie 3.2.1 follows 3.2 with fixes for the docked panels and for Apply. Genie can now also work inside tab panels, slide panels and portals, set field options, and set relationship options.

• Genie tab with the Status Toolbar hidden. The Genie tab in Layout mode no longer disappears when View > Status Toolbar is turned off.
• Script Workspace panel always available. A setting left over from an earlier version could keep the Genie panel out of Script Workspace. The panel is now always available.
• Apply on the file you reviewed. Apply could refuse a reviewed change as if it belonged to another file, most often on a hosted file. Genie now recognizes the file by its name and host.
• Inside tab panels, slide panels and portals. On an existing layout, Genie can add objects inside a tab panel, slide panel, popover or portal, and replace an object there in place.
• Change an existing object and keep the rest. Genie can copy an object from your layout exactly as FileMaker stores it, change only what you asked for, and put it back in the same place. You no longer copy the object yourself. For a portal, this includes its sort order and filter.
• Field options. Genie can create or edit a field with the options FileMaker SQL cannot set: stored and unstored calculations, auto-enter values, serial numbers and lookups, validation, summary fields and storage options. This works in local and hosted files. With Auto apply off, you review the field and confirm.
• Relationship options. When Genie creates or edits a relationship, it can set “Allow creation of records”, “Delete related records” and the sort order for either side. Everything you did not ask to change is kept. This works in local and hosted files.
• Relationships always read from the file. Genie reads the relationship graph from the file each time, so recent changes show up without a refresh. In large graphs, a table occurrence past the first 100 relationships could not be found. That is fixed.
• Custom themes. Genie now reads the theme of a layout that uses a custom or classic theme, so new objects are written for the right theme.

Field, layout and relationship changes require a paid plan. Update the plugin and restart FileMaker. Windows remains at 1.5.11.

Genie for macOS 3.2 (Build 82), release 2026.10

Genie 3.2 moves into FileMaker itself. It docks in Script Workspace and Layout mode, writes scripts without the clipboard, and builds and edits layouts directly in your file.

• Genie in Script Workspace. Genie now docks as a panel on the right side of Script Workspace. The Genie button in the Script Workspace toolbar shows or hides it, and you can drag its left edge to resize it. The panel shows which script lines are selected. It replaces the floating window that used to open beside Script Workspace.
• Genie in Layout mode. A Genie tab now sits in the left panel beside Fields, Objects and Add-ons. Select objects and the tab shows how many are selected. Ask about them or ask for a change. The Inspector stays where it is.
• One conversation, wherever you work. Both panels share a toolbar with Settings, History, Workbench, Metadata Explorer, Privacy and pop-out. Pop-out opens the full Genie window with the same conversation and your unsent draft.
• Create and edit layouts in your file. Genie can create a new layout with bound fields and buttons, add content to an existing layout, and edit selected objects: position and size, colors, borders and corner radius, fonts and text styles, embedded graphics, layout parts and page breaks. This works in local and hosted files. With Auto apply off, you confirm each change, or copy the objects and paste them yourself.
• Replace objects on a layout. Genie can now replace objects that are already on a layout, for example to change what a button does or to rework a section. The old objects are removed and the new ones added in one save.
• Scripts written directly, no clipboard. Create and Apply now write the script in FileMaker after a native confirmation. The script doesn’t need to be open or selected. If it has unsaved edits in Script Workspace, Genie asks you to save first. Copy is still there if you prefer to paste.
• Script folders. With Auto apply on, Genie can create script folders and move scripts into them, in local and hosted files.
• Intel Macs. Direct script writing, script folders and layout writing now also work on Intel Macs and under Rosetta.
• Relationships across files. Table occurrences and relationships can now use tables from another open file, such as the data file in a separation-model solution.
• FileMaker Pro 26.0.3 is supported.
• A fresh conversation each time you open FileMaker. Earlier conversations are in History.
• More dependable Auto apply. Scripts requested together are written one at a time, in order, and each one is confirmed. After a layout change, Genie confirms that every button action and script trigger it wrote is in place.
• Fixes. Fixed a crash when an Auto apply change had a very long summary. Resizing the Script Workspace panel is more reliable.

Creating and editing scripts, layouts and script folders requires a paid plan. Update the plugin and restart FileMaker. Windows remains at 1.5.11.

Genie for macOS 3.1.1 (Build 80)

Genie 3.1.1 lets the Agent work across every open file without switching windows, keeps your conversation tied to the whole solution, brings the complete read experience to Intel Macs, and refreshes the model picker with the newest models from every provider.

• Work across every open file — no window-switching. Genie now reads scripts, fields, tables, custom functions, relationships, and layouts from any open file by name, including hidden data files in separation-model solutions. It no longer brings another file’s window to the front to read it, so nothing you’re working on gets interrupted. Available on FileMaker 19.6.3, 20.3.2, 21.1.3, 22.0.6, and 26.0.2.
• Your conversation stays with your solution. Moving between windows of the same solution — for example an interface file and its data file — no longer resets the chat. Genie treats files that are open together as one solution and keeps your context. Changes still apply to the file you’re working in.
• Full read support on Intel Macs. Every live read — scripts, fields, tables, custom functions, relationships, and layouts — now works on Intel Macs and when FileMaker runs under Rosetta, across all supported versions. Previously some reads were Apple-silicon only.
• The newest models from every provider. The model picker adds OpenAI GPT-6 (Astra, Sol, Luna), Claude Opus 5.5 and Fable 5.1, Grok 4.7 and 4.6, and Gemini 3.8 / 3.7 / 3.5 Flash. Claude Opus 5.5 is the new default for coding — switch to Claude Sonnet 5 in Settings if you prefer a lower-cost default.
• Fixes and refinements. Auto apply’s Submitted history now keeps a single entry per script for each turn instead of an occasional duplicate. New Window script-step options are read back more faithfully.

Update the plugin and restart FileMaker. Windows remains at 1.5.11.

Genie for macOS 3.1 (Build 79)

Genie 3.1 adds an opt-in way to let Genie apply changes directly, extends direct editing to table occurrences and the relationship graph, and makes Genie start reliably on more Macs.

• Auto apply (opt-in). Turn on Auto apply in Settings to let Genie apply supported changes directly: scripts, data changes, stored Web Viewer content, table occurrences, and relationship-graph edits. There’s no review card for each change. Auto apply is off by default and needs its own opt-in. Your earlier Brave setting does not turn it on. Genie still checks the file, your paid plan, and Privacy Mode before every change, and confirms the result afterward.
• Auto apply history and Undo. Changes made in Auto apply are listed in Workbench › Submitted. You can undo script, table-occurrence, relationship-graph, and stored-content changes from there. Data changes cannot be undone this way.
• Table occurrences and relationships. The Agent can now create table occurrences and edit relationships and graph positions in your own files, keeping every setting you didn’t ask to change. These edits require Full Access and a paid plan, and multi-step graph changes are applied in order.
• More reliable script writes. Line breaks inside calculations and text are preserved when Genie edits a script directly. Direct script writes are available on FileMaker 19.6.3, 20.3.2, 21.1.3, 22.0.6, and 26.0.2 on Apple silicon, for local and hosted files.
• More reliable Agent startup. Improved Agent startup on Intel Macs and when FileMaker runs under Rosetta. If the Agent can’t start, Genie now explains the likely cause and what to do, instead of a generic “couldn’t start” message.
• Better support diagnostics. Support tickets sent with “Include app diagnostics” now include your macOS version, Mac type, and the result of a quick Agent startup check. Your prompts, scripts, and database details are still not included.

Update the plugin and restart FileMaker. Windows remains at 1.5.11.

Genie for macOS 3.0.1 (Build 78) and Genie for Windows 1.5.11

This release improves everyday reliability on Mac and brings the rebuilt Agent experience to Windows.

macOS

• More reliable provider settings. Saving and clearing API keys is more dependable. Settings waits for the save to finish and keeps your edits available if saving fails.
• Better window placement. Genie stays within the usable screen area when opening beside Script Workspace, including when there is limited space on either side.
• Simpler metadata access. Genie uses the current FileMaker account’s actual metadata permissions without requiring the separate fmplugin extended privilege for those reads.
• Better script generation and MCP feedback. Improved support for AI tool-calling and message-history options, clearer validation errors, and better handling of script payloads from connected AI clients.
• Clearer layout-source guidance. Genie explains when a layout object needs to be copied and injected before it can be reused.

Windows

• A rebuilt Agent experience. Improved request understanding, continuity through longer conversations, and recovery from temporary interruptions, with protections against repeated actions.
• Improved window behavior. Better handling of opening, minimizing, restoring, and returning to Genie while working in FileMaker.
• Expanded Web Viewer workflows. Improved HTML and JavaScript validation, helper-script preparation, and copyable Web Viewer calculations and objects.
• Script reliability fixes. Corrected generation of error-capture settings, record-navigation options, and calculation values.

On both platforms: Workbench stays open after Apply so you can continue reviewing your work. Native coding and apply actions require a paid plan.

Experimental: stored Web Viewer content. Supported FileMaker 26.0.2 configurations can store text and HTML inside the file through reviewed, confirmed actions. Mac support requires Apple silicon; Windows support is x64. Full Access is required. Hosted, multiuser, and container-media workflows remain under validation.

Update your platform’s plugin, restart FileMaker, and reconnect MCP clients.

Genie for macOS 3.0.0 (Build 77)

Genie 3.0 brings a major upgrade to the Agent experience, improving how it understands requests, carries context through longer tasks, and prepares FileMaker changes for your review.

• A rebuilt Agent experience. Improved handling of tasks that combine investigation, explanation, and script changes, with better continuity across follow-up requests.
• Clearer conversations and reviews. Better distinction between questions and requests for changes, more consistent clarifications, and review cards presented after Genie finishes its explanation.
• More reliable recovery. Genie can recover from certain temporary Agent interruptions while protecting against repeated actions.
• Improved responsiveness. Reduced delays during Agent startup, message submission, and script-step and function autocomplete.
• A more flexible workspace. Resize the compact Script Workspace assistant and reopen it at your preferred size. Select your provider and model directly from either Agent’s composer.
• Model-aware reasoning settings. Reasoning controls reflect the selected model’s capabilities and explain when a saved setting is unsupported.
• Better FileMaker reference handling. Improved access to relevant script-step, function, and layout documentation during answers and code generation.
• Expanded Web Viewer workflows. Improved validation and delivery of self-contained web interfaces, with copyable Web Viewer calculations and objects.
• Additional fixes. More reliable script targeting, restored review cards, attachments, and dictation.

Experimental: persistent storage

Read and prepare changes to text stored inside a FileMaker file, including HTML used by Web Viewers. Changes require user review and confirmation. Currently limited to supported FileMaker 26.0.2 configurations on Apple silicon, with Full Access required.

Native coding and apply actions require a paid plan. This release is for macOS; Windows remains on version 1.4.1.

Genie for macOS 2.9.6 (Build 75) and Genie for Windows 1.4.1

• Inspect live layouts. Ask Genie or a connected MCP client about layout structure, objects, field bindings, buttons, triggers, calculations, and local styling without navigating away from your current layout.
• Read-only MCP is now Free. Connect compatible AI clients to inspect FileMaker, search metadata, read supported definitions, and run SELECT queries. Preparing and staging changes, Workbench actions, and external script runs, evaluation, and file activation still require a paid plan.
• More dependable layout details. Complete object details and authored calculations are preserved; follow-up reads detect changed layouts so clients can refresh their evidence.
• Mac: more reliable MCP connections. Fixed initialization failures and improved recovery when tool information is temporarily unavailable, including Privacy Mode and disabled issue reporting.
• Mac: correct script-step ordering. Multi-step insertions retain their intended order when applying edits at several script locations.
• Windows: broader public search compatibility. Public metadata and reference searches support recognized FileMaker 19, 20, 21, 22, and 26 patch releases with more focused catalog reads.
• Windows: clearer script edits. One-point edits use guided manual-disable Apply; edits spanning multiple lines or anchors become a distinctly named complete revised script for Preview and Copy.
• Windows: smoother MCP settings. Enabling or disabling MCP updates its status without reloading the entire Settings form.

Live layout inspection requires a verified FileMaker build on Apple silicon or Windows x64 and is unavailable under the relevant Privacy Mode. See layout inspection and compatibility. Update your platform’s plugin, restart FileMaker, and reconnect MCP clients. Download Genie.

September 1, 2026

Genie for Windows 1.3.0, file version 1.3.0.0

• More reliable window resizing. The AGENT panel now follows window size changes more consistently.
• Improved window positioning. Panel placement is more dependable when windows are opened, moved, or restored.
• More reliable metadata refresh. Live FileMaker metadata refreshes more consistently, with clearer handling when metadata cannot be read.

August 28, 2026

Genie 2.9.4 (Build 72), release 2026.08

• Keep Chat context deliberately scoped. Turn on the green Privacy Mode shield to start a fresh context for future requests. Earlier chat stays visible locally but is not sent again, and ambient Script Workspace context, attachments, project guidance, personalization, Web Search, and issue reporting stay out of the request.
• Choose exactly what Genie may read. Privacy Mode uses the current Metadata Explorer selection as the live FileMaker boundary. If nothing is selected, no live FileMaker data is shared; selecting a table does not automatically include all of its fields.
• Use a separate privacy boundary for Local MCP. Local MCP Privacy Mode persists independently from the Chat shield and limits connected clients to the same explicit Metadata Explorer selection.
• Confirm sensitive reads when they happen. Query Preview/Run and every Evaluate request require a fresh native confirmation while Privacy Mode is active.
• Review script dependencies clearly. Selecting a script can visibly include the direct scripts and fields it depends on, while explicit exclusions remain tied to the exact selected script version.
• Control optional product diagnostics. Chat and Local MCP Privacy Mode block the optional report_issue tool in their own channels without changing the saved Product issue reports preference.

Genie for Windows 1.2.0, file version 1.2.0.0

• New Chat Privacy Mode. Start a fresh provider context and use the current Metadata Explorer selection as the explicit boundary for live FileMaker information.
• Independent Local MCP Privacy Mode. Connected clients use their own persistent privacy setting while sharing the same selected-only FileMaker scope.
• Fresh confirmation for sensitive reads. Query preview/run and Evaluate require a new native confirmation while Privacy Mode is active.
• Verified FileMaker Pro 19–26 compatibility. The same signed plugin was loaded and its Script Workspace AGENT initialized on FileMaker Pro 19, 20, 21, 22, and 26.
• Published the official signed single-file package GenieWindows-1.2.0-x64-official-signed-20260828-4700d8bb-CC670CE3.zip and updated the stable Windows download while keeping Genie 2.9.4 Build 72 current on macOS.

August 26, 2026

Genie 2.9.3 (Build 71), release 2026.08

• Report issues without leaving your AI workflow. Embedded AGENT and Local MCP now share a report_issue tool that can send product diagnostics directly to Genie support telemetry.
• Privacy-protected reporting. Issue reports remove sensitive content, enforce bounded payloads and rate limits, and confirm delivery only when the report was actually accepted.
• Richer compact AGENT attachments. Add TXT, Markdown, PDF, DOC/DOCX, RTF/RTFD, and screenshots as focused context, including page-range reads for supported documents.
• Clearer Workbench review. Delta-edit Preview once again shows the complete numbered script text instead of an internal apply plan.
• Cleaner Copy behavior. Non-blocking clipboard representation warnings no longer interrupt Copy when Genie has assembled a complete merged script; Apply keeps its independent strict validation.
• Improved Script Workspace Apply/Paste responsiveness and added focused timing diagnostics for remaining slow operations.

August 24, 2026

Genie for Windows 1.1.0 open beta, file version 1.1.0.0

• Added the official signed 64-bit Genie plugin for FileMaker Pro on Windows with the Script Workspace AGENT.
• Published the refreshed open-beta package GenieWindows-1.1.0-x64-open-beta-signed-20260824-F81F5512.zip and updated the stable Windows download.
• Kept the macOS package and macOS update manifest separate from the Windows release.

August 18, 2026

Genie 2.9.2 (Build 70), release 2026.08

• Faster Script Workspace AGENT launch. The compact AGENT panel appears first and hydrates progressively, so you can begin working sooner while project context finishes loading.
• More responsive script staging. Large scripts can be compiled and prepared for Workbench without blocking FileMaker’s main interface.
• Better Web Viewer app generation. Genie creates more complete bidirectional Web Viewer packages, including HTML, FileMaker scripts, callbacks, navigation, and controlled write actions.
• More room for complete web apps. Web-app requests now have a larger output allowance, reducing truncated HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and related FileMaker scripts.
• Improved multi-line Apply performance and verification in Script Workspace.
• Improved update recovery when FileMaker does not quit as expected, with clear retry and manual-quit guidance instead of an indefinite Installing state.

August 14, 2026

Genie 2.9.1 (Build 69), release 2026.08

• Fixed Web Viewer-related issues for more reliable connected FileMaker workflows.
• Improved AGENT generation, with more dependable preparation of requested FileMaker work.
• Tightened Local MCP contract rules so connected AI tools receive clearer, more consistent responses from Genie.
• General reliability improvements across Agent and MCP workflows.

August 13, 2026

Genie 2.9 (Build 68), release 2026.08

• A genuinely useful free way to start. Free includes live FileMaker context, guided answers, calculations and custom-function help, and read-only MCP access. You can understand the system in front of you without a time-limited trial.
• A clearer path into building. Paid access adds native FileMaker script creation and editing, FileMaker layouts, controlled workbench staging, and data work that can create, update, or delete the tables, fields, and records you choose.
• AI where FileMaker work happens. Genie keeps AI beside the open file and Script Workspace, with live context from the system you are already working in instead of an exported snapshot.
• A more practical Local MCP. Connect your preferred compatible AI tools to FileMaker through the same context and review surface. Free access is read-only; paid access adds the ability to prepare and stage work in Genie.
• Built-in Klai Studio guidance for paid users. Bring the FileMaker side of Klai work together with native setup guidance, hooks, and the reviewed Genie workflow.
• Works with FileMaker 19+ on macOS. Windows support remains in beta and will be released separately after final validation.

Current Local MCP access

From macOS 2.9.6 and Windows 1.4.1, external Local MCP reads are Free. Staging, Workbench, external script runs, evaluation, and file activation require a paid plan. Embedded AGENT retains its separate Free capabilities.

August 7, 2026

Genie 2.8.1 (Build 65), release 2026.08

• Improved AGENT’s understanding of script requests. Genie now better distinguishes creating a new script, editing an existing script, using the current script as a reference, and read-only inspection.
• Fixed repeated or incorrect clarification loops. Button choices and typed answers now resume the original AGENT task more reliably.
• Fixed Copy in the Script Workspace Agent so generated script changes use FileMaker’s native clipboard format and paste correctly.
• Fixed Apply in the Script Workspace Agent so changes apply to the script currently open without attempting to select or switch scripts.
• Improved reliability for larger script pastes by allowing FileMaker to finish pasting before Genie verifies the result or restores the clipboard.

August 7, 2026

Genie 2.8 (Build 64), release 2026.08

• Completely rebuilt Local MCP. Work with Genie from Codex, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other compatible AI tools through a clearer and more reliable FileMaker connection. The previous overlapping tool surface has been replaced by seven focused workflows for context, discovery, exact reads, calculations, review, and coordination.
• A more capable AGENT. Genie’s in-app AGENT now shares the same native FileMaker tools as Local MCP, helping it locate the right scripts and fields, inspect relevant details, and carry context through longer tasks with fewer interruptions.
• More dependable script creation and editing. Genie validates generated script work before presenting it for review and automatically normalizes common harmless formatting differences, reducing incomplete drafts and unnecessary retries across supported AI providers.
• Better results in large FileMaker solutions. Genie can progressively find live scripts, tables, fields, and layouts, then move into an exact read without treating a search guess as authority.
• Dedicated FileMaker Pro 26.0.2 live-read support. Genie now includes a version-specific profile for reading scripts, relationships, custom functions, and field definitions from FileMaker Pro 26.0.2 while preserving the existing FileMaker 26.0.1 profile.
• Improved field and table-occurrence understanding. Renamed table occurrences are handled more accurately, giving Genie the correct field calculations, validation rules, auto-enter options, storage settings, and summaries.
• A safer Workbench review experience. Connected AI assistants prepare visible work for review rather than changing FileMaker directly. The experimental automatic Direct Script Creation option has been shelved, coordinated multi-item handoffs are admitted all-or-none, and Apply, Run, and Delete remain explicit user actions.
• Local MCP upgrade note. After installing Genie 2.8, reconnect or restart your MCP client so it discovers the new tool catalog. Existing Genie connection settings can remain in place.

August 6, 2026

Genie script-agent, shelve note

• Shelved Local MCP Direct Script Creation BETA (Automatically create scripts in FileMaker). The preference is forced off, the Settings toggle is removed, and script stages always queue for Workbench review.

August 5, 2026

Genie 2.7 (Build 63), release 2026.08

• Improved multi-file FileMaker handling. Genie now more reliably keeps live reads and script work tied to the intended open file, including smoother recovery when FileMaker’s visible document and working context temporarily drift.
• Enhanced AGENT processing for reviewed script work. Valid drafts reach a clean review card more reliably, while diagnostics stay out of the conversation and reference-ID gaps no longer unnecessarily block Apply.
• Updated the supported AI model list across Genie, including current provider defaults and smoother migration from retired model selections.
• Refined Workbench for clearer, safer review: new scripts and script edits are labeled distinctly, target-script information appears only when relevant, and warnings focus on genuine review risks.
• Fixed several Apply-path issues, including more reliable handling of FileMaker references and metadata across complex or multi-file solutions.
• Improved Settings responsiveness by loading the interface immediately and completing preference data hydration afterward.

July 30, 2026

Genie 2.6 (Build 61), release 2026.07

• Get more accurate help with fields and calculations in FileMaker 26. Genie can now understand whether a calculation field is stored or unstored, read auto-enter calculations, and use those details when reviewing or creating your work.
• Work more smoothly across multi-file solutions. Genie keeps track of the FileMaker file you mean and can switch context automatically, reducing interruptions and the risk of reading from the wrong file.
• Apply scripts and edits with fewer failures. Workbench now keeps stronger track of each item’s target, respects the script you opened for current-script edits, and catches incomplete or unsafe items before Apply.
• Set up Klai faster from Script Workspace. The new Klai button provides Set Up Klai App and Add HookSet, while the Klai action in Manage Custom Functions lets you copy all 57 official Klai Custom Functions for installation—without relying on the separate Helper file.
• Get better results from AGENT on complex calculations and imperfect prompts. Updated guidance helps AGENT verify difficult expressions more efficiently and recognize likely spelling mistakes in table occurrences, relationships, scripts, and other FileMaker names.

Genie 2.5.2 (Build 60), release 2026.07

• Fixed Apply in Script Workspace so reviewed changes apply to the script already open, without an extra target-selection step interrupting the flow.
• Improved the quality and consistency of generated FileMaker script changes, with cleaner Workbench What summaries that describe the affected row or range instead of repeating every low-level edit.
• Made Genie launch, activation, license validation, refresh, and deactivation faster and more responsive by moving new builds to an always-ready service, especially after idle periods. Existing licenses and activations continue to work without any account changes.

July 22, 2026

Genie 2.5 (Build 58), release 2026.07

• Added an in-banner updater. Install Update checks the release archive, Genie identity, and version before Install & Restart backs up the active plug-in, installs the update, and reopens the same FileMaker app. View Release remains available for manual installation.
• Corrected automatic-install target detection so an ordinary Genie plug-in in the current user’s shared or versioned FileMaker Extensions folder is not incorrectly reported as a symbolic or unresolved installation path.
• Made AGENT script completion more reliable with a bounded native preparation and validation stage, including one focused repair opportunity, so valid drafts reach Preview, Copy, and Apply instead of ending with an unrelated clarification or malformed artifact.
• Improved named-script inspection by reading exact authoring content directly from the active FileMaker file in the background, without opening, selecting, or copying from Script Workspace. Complete numbered text remains authoritative, with tight line-range recovery for unusually large content.
• Added clearer What / Where / How summaries to pending Workbench drafts while keeping warnings focused on residual review risks.

July 15, 2026

Genie 2.3.3 (Build 56), release 2026.07

• Expanded the optional Klai / BetterForms guidance pack with focused guides for hook execution, Helper Inbox diagnostics, asynchronous Data API and cache workflows, receiver routing, and response payload commits.
• Improved AGENT authoring for large or complex FileMaker steps by preserving exact Add Selection-style text and recovering only the smallest required line range when upstream content is incomplete.
• Added targeted custom-function definition retrieval so AGENT can inspect and use the complete FileMaker calculation and XML instead of receiving only a function count or signature.
• Prevented AGENT from asking again for an already-resolved script, table, or field identifier, and made clarification-card answers resume the original task, target, line anchor, and required output.
• Improved AGENT Arcade routing for natural English, French, and Spanish play or replay requests; Chess now supports castling, en passant, and a choice of promotion piece.

July 14, 2026

Genie 2.3.1 (Build 55), release 2026.07

• Preserved successfully validated Script Schema work when AGENT reaches its tool budget, so a completed draft is finalized instead of being discarded.
• Improved provider continuation reliability with bounded recovery for stalled responses and a visible error instead of an indefinite Thinking state.
• Tightened calculation debugging so AGENT requires evidence from the exact expression before identifying a root cause, while reusing script content it already loaded successfully.
• Improved Compact Script Workspace context by using the same XML-to-text preview lane as Add Selection, preserving FileMaker options and criteria for steps such as Perform Find, Constrain Found Set, and Extend Found Set.
• Improved Workbench Apply targeting so the reviewed script is selected and verified before mutation, with a faster path when that target is already active.

July 12, 2026

Genie 2.3 (Build 53), release 2026.07

• Streamlined the main toolbar: Add Selection remains the explicit Script Workspace capture action, while Add Scripts, Clear Context, and the separate Project Rules toolbar/modal surface were removed.
• Consolidated project guidance into Settings > Personalization with Generic and Project scopes. Generic stores global personality, custom instructions, naming conventions, reusable patterns, and script template defaults; Project stores the active file’s name, description, rules, and optional overrides.
• Added independent fallback behavior for project guidance. Empty project naming conventions, patterns, or script template fields inherit the matching Generic value, while project description and Project Rules remain project-specific.
• Made the effective project configuration available to standard modes, embedded AGENT, Script Workspace AGENT, and Local MCP through project_context, including guidance_sources so clients can tell project overrides from Generic defaults.
• Added the Local MCP project context resource genie://context/project and compatibility reference project_context. This guidance can shape names, comments, patterns, and script structure, but it never expands tool access, Workbench staging, Apply, Stage A/B scope, or mutation authority.
• Updated Metadata Explorer copy to clarify that manual metadata selection can speed up discovery and make AI work more precise, while AGENT can normally discover metadata and MCP resources automatically before asking you to select context.

July 11, 2026

Genie 2.3 (Build 52), release 2026.07

• Added the beta Local MCP option Automatically create scripts in FileMaker for trusted local clients. When enabled, successful MCP script stages can immediately run Genie’s Create Script flow; edits create new versions and existing scripts are never replaced.
• Added Workbench Pending and Submitted sections with visible counts so active drafts and work already submitted to Genie stay separated.
• Added submitted-state Workbench notifications and status styling so MCP handoffs clearly show when an item was sent to Genie.
• Updated Workbench cards to hide inline XML previews by default while keeping target script, notes, warnings, Preview, Copy, Create Script, Apply, and Remove controls visible.
• Refined Workbench script-delta and new-script review for target scripts, warning visibility, and safer handoff feedback.

July 10, 2026

Genie 2.3 (Build 51), release 2026.07

• Added AGENT mode, a FileMaker-aware workflow that can inspect the active file, scripts, metadata, calculations, and read-only data before answering or preparing reviewed work.
• Added the compact Script Workspace Agent, so you can work beside the live FileMaker file and current script with focused, on-demand context instead of manually assembling every prompt.
• Added Create Script, a reviewed workflow that imports supported generated scripts directly into FileMaker without requiring a manual script-list paste. Unsupported carrier conversions fail closed and remain available through Preview, Copy, or the existing Apply workflow.
• Added image attachments for supported vision-capable models, including PNG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF reference images.
• Added AGENT output for read-only reports, markdown tables, charts, downloadable documents, and PDF exports.
• Expanded AGENT across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google/Gemini, xAI, and Custom/Local OpenAI-compatible providers, with provider-native streaming where supported.
• Improved awareness of open FileMaker files and active-file context, including bounded metadata inspection and deliberate activation of an already-open file before live reads.
• Improved FileMaker script reliability with native calculation checks, script call-tree inspection, deeper step/carrier intelligence, tighter context usage, and safer validation and repair.

June 20, 2026

Genie 2.2.2 (Build 47), release 2026.06, WebUI 2026.06.11.1

• Fixed a critical ASK and CODE stability issue that could cause Genie to hang and become unusable across providers.
• Added proper dictionary caching so FileMaker reference data is reused more reliably instead of being rebuilt repeatedly.
• Added a major Layout Mode and Layout MCP update for more reliable layout generation, staging, and agent handoff workflows.

June 19, 2026 - Build 44

Genie 2.2 (Build 44), release 2026.06, WebUI 2026.06.11.1

• Added full relationship metadata support in Genie, including relationship lists and detailed join-predicate views in Metadata Explorer.
• Added direct script context from Metadata Explorer, so scripts can be attached for CODE work without relying on clipboard capture.
• Expanded Local MCP relationship guidance and metadata access so agents can read relationship context, guides, and selected metadata more reliably.
• Fixed script-edit placement issues where generated rows could land in the wrong location from either Genie or Local MCP staged edits.

June 19, 2026 - Build 43

Genie 2.2 (Build 43), release 2026.06, WebUI 2026.06.11.1

• Major Local MCP refresh: agents now work from Script Schema-first authoring payloads, with raw FileMaker XML available only when explicitly requested for evidence or debugging.
• Added FileMaker 19+ compatibility targeting so Genie can filter script steps and functions against the detected FileMaker version instead of assuming the newest catalog.
• Added guarded native read support for richer script and relationship context when available, with safe fallback to the existing capture paths.
• Improved MCP staging safety with clearer one-of contracts, safer delta validation, better Workbench status handling, and cleaner public previews.
• Improved FileMaker XML decoding for common script steps, including canonical Set Field targets and less noisy numeric/internal references in agent-facing previews.
• Strengthened native Apply verification and user-facing apply messages to reduce incorrect or ambiguous script mutations.

June 12, 2026

Genie 2.1 (Build 42), release 2026.06, WebUI 2026.06.11.1

• Fixed CODE question handling so clarification and advisory flows pause cleanly when Genie needs an answer before continuing.
• Fixed Local MCP reference handling so agents can include additional canonical references more reliably.
• Added tool-plane reference discovery for clients that cannot read MCP resources directly; the current hard-cutover surface provides this through fm_search.

June 11, 2026

Genie 2.1 (Build 41), release 2026.06, WebUI 2026.06.11.1

• Added compatibility for FileMaker 2026, including complete FileMaker 2026 script-step and function dictionary coverage.
• Expanded Genie’s FileMaker reference data so CODE, Workbench, and MCP handoffs can reason over the current FileMaker 2026 step/function surface more reliably.
• Major Local MCP update: agents use the consolidated seven-tool workflow with Script Schema JSON, targeted catalog/step discovery, exact reads, and the current genie://context/scripts resource for reviewed script handoffs.
• Added MCP session and schema resources for open FileMaker files, bounded metadata summaries, Script Schema, Layout Schema, and active script context.
• Added MCP staging support for copy-only layout work through the layout staging contract, keeping layout output reviewable and separate from direct FileMaker mutation.
• Improved Workbench routing so staged script, DATA, layout, and XML handoffs stay visible, reviewable, and user-controlled inside Genie.
• Improved CODE quality with stronger step/function grounding, safer artifact validation, and clearer recovery paths for generated script work.
• Improved provider compatibility, MCP setup guidance, and documentation around Codex, Cursor/generic JSON, and Claude Desktop workflows.
• Fixed several release-readiness and code-quality issues across FileMaker dictionary coverage, provider contracts, Workbench handoff behavior, and diagnostics.

June 6, 2026

Genie 2.0.3 (Build 40), release 2026.06, WebUI 2026.05.29.1

• Fixed Script Workspace selection capture when a FileMaker step option panel is open, making Add Selection and script-list detection more reliable.
• Fixed issues when reviewing or applying raw FileMaker XML staged through Local MCP Workbench.
• Added Local MCP session resources and tools so IDE agents can inspect open FileMaker files and read file-level design metadata without switching Genie’s active apply target.
• Improved project script corpus capture and related tooltips for support workflows.
• Improved Set Field By Name XML previews so target-name and result calculations are shown correctly.

June 3, 2026

Genie 2.0.2 (Build 38), release 2026.06, WebUI 2026.05.29.1

• Fixed DATA mode migration edits so schema and metadata refresh waits until an auto-run migration batch is complete, preventing refresh timing errors while migration steps are still running.
• Improved DATA mode routing for multi-field table edit requests so they are treated as migration plans when appropriate.
• Improved the Script Workspace toolbar for multi-window work: each visible Script Workspace window now gets its own Copy, Paste, Edit, and Open Genie controls, and actions target the clicked window.

Genie 2.0.1 (Build 36), release 2026.06, WebUI 2026.05.29.1

• Added AI assistance inside the FileMaker Custom Function dialog to help generate and update custom functions.
• Improved Quick Calculation AI error dialogs so they can be dismissed properly.
• Adjusted the Quick Calculation AI Genie icon placement so it no longer overlaps with MBS Plugin controls.

May 29, 2026

Genie 2.0 (Build 35), release 2026.05, WebUI 2026.05.29.1

• Added LAYOUT mode, a dedicated workflow for generating FileMaker layout object XML that you can review, copy, and paste manually in FileMaker Layout mode.
• Added copied layout-object injection: copy selected objects in FileMaker, inject them in Genie, and use them as the selected edit set for the next LAYOUT prompt.
• Added Layout Preflight so Genie can check for missing user-answerable details before generating layout XML.
• Added the Layout XML Ready result card with Preview XML and Copy for Paste actions.
• Added value lists to Genie’s metadata context, improving prompts and LAYOUT mode work that need existing FileMaker value lists.
• Expanded layout object support for common object groups and copied-object preservation, including fields, text, buttons, shapes, lines, portals, tabs, slides, popovers, panels, graphics, charts, and web viewers where supported.
• Improved object-level layout behavior, including support for tooltips, object names, tab order, hide conditions, conditional formatting, field placeholders, portal filters, selected tab/slide panels, and verified existing-script triggers.
• Improved LAYOUT mode styling so visual style requests can produce cleaner pasted results without turning style requests into blocking preflight questions.
• Improved Anthropic / Claude compatibility for LAYOUT mode and CODE generation, especially around requests that previously hit provider structured-output limits.
• Improved provider compatibility and local validation for LAYOUT mode while keeping generated layout work copy-only and separate from CODE apply.
• The Genie menu bar icon can now open Genie directly from macOS, so you do not need to go through Script Workspace just to bring the assistant window forward.

May 22, 2026

Genie plugin 1.9.2 (34), WebUI 2026.05.14.1

• Added Project Scripts in Project Rules, so Genie can save all scripts for a FileMaker project locally.
• Project Scripts gives Genie a local saved script corpus for project support workflows; current Local MCP script authoring uses live active-file context and bounded script content instead of treating saved Project Scripts as a public script XML source.
• Improved CODE AST metadata handling for FileMaker script references, including reliable Perform Script name and XML target resolution from known script IDs.
• Generated calculations now use canonical TableOccurrence::FieldName references and ask for qualification when a field name is ambiguous.
• Updated AST generation guidance to avoid bare numeric script IDs in script reference arguments.
• Added focused regression coverage for script ID hydration and metadata field canonicalization.

Genie plugin 1.9.1 (33), WebUI 2026.05.14.1

• Expanded Genie’s FileMaker dictionary coverage for additional script steps and functions.
• Improved support ticket telemetry with clearer diagnostics for agentic flow successes and failures.
• Fixed a macOS Keychain issue that could cause Genie to ask for permission to read its own stored license keys.

May 21, 2026

Genie plugin 1.9 (32), WebUI 2026.05.14.1

• Improved MCP XML apply and CODE handoff behavior.
• Augmented Genie’s compiler support for Import, Export, and AI-related FileMaker script steps.

Genie plugin 1.9 (30), WebUI 2026.05.14.1

• Quick AI is now available for FileMaker Data Viewer.
• Intelligent Coding is properly enabled, so Genie now runs its agentic coding flow while preparing script work.
• Apply errors should now be minimal and non-blocking.
• The Local MCP server now receives the full XML for attached scripts, improving MCP context and handoff quality.
• Better handling for Add Scripts and multi-tab Script Workspace context.

May 20, 2026

Genie plugin 1.8.2 (30), WebUI 2026.05.14.1

• Important fix for Add Scripts: attached scripts now merge their metadata properly so Genie keeps the script context and related metadata together.

May 19, 2026

Genie plugin 1.8.2 (27), WebUI 2026.05.14.1

• Fixed a FileMaker crash that could happen when exiting FileMaker.
• Added tooltips to Script Workspace buttons.
• Added Search and Replace inside the Script Workspace Edit XML flow for faster quick edits.

May 18, 2026

Genie plugin 1.8.2 (25), WebUI 2026.05.14.1

• Better repair and control for ExecuteSQL statements built by AI.
• Genie can use more FileMaker session context, including the active layout, active table, current date and time, and account name. This helps when generating scripts that need better action logs or contextual setup.
• The Support Ticket form remembers your email so you do not need to retype it every time.
• Version updates now show the in-app Update Available banner with Download Update, Release Notes, and Dismiss actions.
• Calculation Quick AI is now available from the Data Viewer.
• More to come.

May 17, 2026

Genie plugin 1.8.2 (24), WebUI 2026.05.14.1

• Compatibility fixes for Claude Desktop MCP clients.
• Local MCP can stage raw FileMaker XML produced by an agent into Workbench for user review, without turning MCP into a hidden apply channel.
