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 genie_get_reference, a tool-only Local MCP fallback for clients that cannot read MCP resources directly, including LM Studio-style tool-plane integrations.

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 genie_scripts workflow with Script Schema JSON, targeted catalog/step lookups, genie_metadata, 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 genie_stage_layout, 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.
