Debugging and benchmarking calculations in FileMaker with HOnza and Vince
Today, with the help of AI, you can get even complex custom functions and other FileMaker calculations written in virtually no time. But what if they don't work as expected? Or what if they are slow to evaluate? Join us to learn how to quickly debug and fix them, with and without AI.

Understanding AI Models: What’s Really Behind the Curtain
AI models are not magic—they are tools, each with strengths, weaknesses, and specific use cases. In this first session, we break down what different AI models actually are and why choosing the right one matters. You will learn the core differences between fast models and reasoning models, what impacts quality, speed, and cost, and why using the wrong model can quietly hurt your workflow. We will demystify the landscape so you stop guessing and start making intentional decisions.
Tue - 7/28
Model in Action: Same Prompt, Different Results
Seeing is understanding. In this session, we take real-world tasks and run them across different AI models to expose how dramatically results can change. From UI/UX ideas to FileMaker scripting and DDR analysis, you will see how each model behaves—and why some completely fail while others shine. This is where you start developing instinct.
Wed - 7/29
Mastering Model Selection: Build a Winning Workflow
Now that you understand the differences, it’s time to take control. This session focuses on building a practical workflow where you intentionally choose the right model for each task. You will learn how to think in terms of strategy: when to go fast, when to go deep, and how to chain models together to maximize efficiency and results.
Thu - 7/30
Instant Mass De-compilation and Local AI Analysis with FileMaker
We will demonstrate the brand new ai2fm analysis engine. I will show how to take massive, legacy FileMaker solutions with heavy technical debt and instantly mass-transform the entire solution into structured, human-readable .fmscript folders. The VS Code extension spins up a local Node.js server to generate instant ERDs and script dependency graphs right in your browser—no external software installation needed, and absolutely no data leaves your workstation. From there, we push the clean architecture to GitHub, turning a legacy FileMaker system into a modern DevSecOps pipeline ready for AI agents.
