Real-World Architecture & Best Practices with PSOS
Now we bring everything together. In this session, we design real-world solutions using PSOS: automation, background processing, and scalable workflows that don’t depend on the user interface. You’ll learn how to integrate PSOS into your architecture cleanly and sustainably. What we’ll cover: Real-world use cases (automation, integrations, background jobs) Combining PSOS with server-side workflows Clean architecture patterns Common anti-patterns to avoid
Fri - 5/22
Callbacks: Bringing Results Back to the User with PSOS
PSOS runs on the server—but your users still need results. In this final session, we explore callback strategies to communicate back from the server to the client. Whether it’s updating the UI, notifying users, or triggering follow-up actions, this is the missing piece that makes PSOS truly interactive. This is where everything connects. What we’ll cover: What a callback is in FileMaker context Techniques to return results to the client Using flags, records, and polling strategies Designing responsive user experiences with PSOS

Vibe Coding in FileMaker: Unlocking AI Agents with Native IDEs and ai2fm
FileMaker developers are hitting a wall: elite AI coding assistants like Claude, Gemini, and GitHub Copilot cannot natively interact with the proprietary Script Workspace. Join Dimitris Kokoutsidis, creator of ai2fm.com, to see how to break through that wall. In this session, we will demonstrate the two-keystroke "Clipboard Bridge" that bi-directionally translates FileMaker XML into a first-class, linter-enforced textual language (.fmscript). Through a live "Vibe Coding" demonstration, you will see how to deploy a triad of autonomous AI agents on a legacy script—where one model refactors the logic, a second writes the documentation, and a third audits the work for safety—all within a native VS Code environment. We will also dive into the enterprise-grade, zero-retention XSLT architecture that ensures your proprietary FileMaker schema remains completely private. This isn't just a velocity upgrade; it’s the future of professional-grade FileMaker engineering.

Stop Creating Dirty Data: Controlled Contact Creation with Card Windows
Why do so many FileMaker solutions end up filled with incomplete or inconsistent contact records? The problem often starts at creation. In this session, we will completely rethink how new records should be created. Instead of writing directly into your Contacts table, you will learn how to build a clean, structured workflow using a dedicated staging layer and a modern card-style window interface. We will demonstrate how users can create multiple contacts in one session, review their entries, and decide at the end whether to validate or cancel everything—without ever touching your real data. This is where control begins.
