Finding Data with Natural Language — FileMaker Meets AI Search - Day 3
In this session, we’ll explore one of the most exciting new additions to FileMaker’s AI toolkit: Perform Find by Natural Language. Forget complex search criteria or multiple Find requests — now you can simply ask FileMaker what you’re looking for, in plain English (or any supported language). We’ll demonstrate how this feature interprets user intent, translates natural language into structured search queries, and returns relevant results instantly — no scripting or calculation wizardry required. You’ll learn how to: Set up your AI account and enable natural language search Integrate Perform Find by Natural Language into your existing layouts and workflows Compare it with traditional Finds, Semantic Finds, and RAG-based searches Customize context and improve accuracy using prompt templates Build smart, conversational search interfaces your users will love This webinar is perfect for developers who want to blend AI and FileMaker’s native data engine to create intuitive, human-like query experiences.
