Sharing research and demo examples of using AI with FileMaker, Will Miro from Beezwax will join the Claris product team and Partners in a Claris Community Live discussion about the new semantic search features in Claris FileMaker 2024.
Continue reading “Semantic Search with FileMaker 2024 – Claris Community Live”Semantic search is a bit like LiDAR: it penetrates the data’s lexical canopy to reveal underlying meaning. In “Part 1: Fundamental Power” and “Part 2: Key Details” we covered the basics of FileMaker semantic search. Now let’s consider some more exotic ways this new feature can put a spotlight on our data.
We’ll show an example of “unified search” across multiple tables, using natural language to construct a semantic search. Then we’ll extend this to a second example, showing “unified search + actions”. A downloadable demo/tutorial file is provided for each of these two examples.
Continue reading “FileMaker Semantic Search – Part 3: Advanced Fun”In “FileMaker Semantic Search – Part 1: Fundamental Power” we discussed how to configure your Claris FileMaker 2024 app to support semantic search. Here in Part 2 of this three-part blog series we’ll dig deeper into the details of this awesome new functionality, including embeddings and cosine similarity, with a demo tutorial file for exploring AI Call Logging.
Continue reading “FileMaker Semantic Search – Part 2: Key Details”If it’s June, we must be in Berlin for dotFMP …gathering with the developer community, and celebrating the launch of Claris FileMaker 2024, especially AI with FileMaker functionality.
As conference presenters, Fabio Bosisio and Vince Menanno from Beezwax will lead two sessions:
FileMaker 2024 delivers native semantic search, and it’s awesome. Now you can search records whose text is similar to the semantic meaning of your search term, even if those records don’t include your exact search term. Using natural language, users can be freed from trying to recall exactly how data was input. Let’s dive in to see just how powerful FileMaker’s semantic search is.
Continue reading “FileMaker Semantic Search – Part 1: Fundamental Power”Vince reacts with details, and his share of amazement, to the experience of pair programming with ChatGPT as co-pilot, searching for deeper meaning in FileMaker scripts using semantic search (using InspectorPro 8), and the overall experience using AI with FileMaker 2024.
