A-403 - This Entire Session Was Created Using AI
Presented By
This entire session description was created through conversational AI prompting. Starting with brainstorming ideas, goals, and discussion topics, AI was used as a collaborative partner to quickly organize, refine, expand, and produce this detailed session description. That same collaborative process is one of the primary concepts demonstrated throughout this session.
This entire session presentation will be developed through conversational AI prompting using the official Full Access 2026 slide deck template as the foundation. From an initial concept and ongoing collaboration, AI will help create and refine the complete presentation. In many ways, this becomes a session about leveraging AI that is itself being created through AI-assisted collaboration.
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing software development, but this session takes a different approach than most AI presentations.
This is not a session about putting AI into FileMaker.
This is a session about putting AI into your FileMaker development process—and beyond.
Rather than focusing on APIs, programming, or embedding AI into solutions, this session demonstrates how today’s conversational AI tools — such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini — can become an everyday assistant and collaborative partner using only their standard subscription services.
This session does not cover:
• OpenAI or other AI APIs
• Agentic programming
• AI controlling FileMaker
• Local LLMs
• RAG, vector databases, or embeddings
• AI scripting or automation frameworks
• AI replacing developers
Instead, the focus is on practical, real-world techniques that every FileMaker user can begin using immediately.
A major objective of this session is helping attendees become more effective at AI prompting. Rather than simply asking questions, attendees will learn how to communicate and collaborate with AI through an iterative conversational process to obtain more accurate, insightful, and useful results. These prompting techniques apply not only to FileMaker, but to virtually any technical, business, creative, or personal project.
How can AI make me better at what I do every day, without writing a single line of AI integration code?
Topics include using AI as a collaborative assistant for:
• Explaining FileMaker concepts and solving technical problems
• Forecasting, brainstorming, and evaluating ideas
• Creating, debugging, and optimizing ExecuteSQL syntax
• Exporting FileMaker data for AI-powered analysis, charts, pivot-style summaries, executive reports, downloadable documents, and other business insights
• Importing AI-generated results into FileMaker as raw text or through files such as TXT, CSV, Excel, Word, PDF, and other supported formats
• Identifying trends, patterns, and anomalies in business data
• Creative planning and problem solving beyond FileMaker development
The session also demonstrates effective conversational prompting techniques using real-world examples—including outdoor photography trip planning—to illustrate how iterative discussions with AI often produce far better results than asking a single question.
The goal is not to teach attendees how to build AI-powered FileMaker solutions, but how to work alongside AI as a knowledgeable assistant throughout every stage of development and problem solving, while also demonstrating how to effectively leverage AI beyond FileMaker development.
AI won’t replace experienced FileMaker professionals. However, people who learn to work effectively with AI can often accomplish more in the same amount of time, communicate ideas more clearly, explore solutions faster, analyze information more effectively, and tackle problems they might not have attempted otherwise.
Whether your goal is developing better FileMaker solutions, analyzing business data, planning your next outdoor photography adventure, or simply becoming more productive in your everyday work, the skills learned in this session will continue to provide value long after the conference — for FileMaker and beyond.
