About this podcast
FileMaker Pro meets AI. This is a continuing educational series about how and why to integrate AI into your Claris FileMaker Pro solutions. What it's all about, why it's important, and where do you start? We mix in plenty of FileMaker tips and tricks as well.
FileMaker veterans Matt Navarre and Cris Ippolite have 432 years of combined development experience, and somehow still haven't learned much. But we are trying.
Look for new episodes every two weeks.
