Claris FileMaker Services include custom development, system modernization, AI feature integration, and ongoing support from a certified Claris partner with 20+ years of experience, including deep FileMaker expertise. We work with your existing system to make it faster, smarter, and more capable — now with responsible AI built in.
FileMaker 2025 ships with powerful native AI features: GetTextFromPDF(), image recognition, AI script steps, and more. Most organizations are sitting on a system that could be dramatically more capable with the right integrations. We add these features to your existing database without rebuilding what already works.
FileMaker systems that were built five, ten, or fifteen years ago often work, but they're slow, fragile, or increasingly difficult to maintain. We review your system architecture, identify technical debt and performance bottlenecks, and modernize what's holding you back, without throwing away what's working.
Your business has changed. Your FileMaker system may not have kept up. We design and build custom features, workflows, and integrations that match how your organization actually works today.
Sometimes you don't need a full development engagement. Sometimes you need an expert in the room for a few hours. Whether that's a technical review of a decision your team is about to make, training your internal developer on best practices, or a structured consultation to help you plan your next FileMaker initiative.
If you're already using AI within your FileMaker solution, a Responsible AI Audit ensures your AI features are safe, transparent, and aligned with your values. Our audit aligns with ISO 42001 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, delivering practical, actionable recommendations.
Planning to add AI to your FileMaker solution? Our Design Review helps you shape safe, ethical, and scalable AI features before a single line of code is written, surfacing risks, mapping data flows, and building a responsible roadmap aligned with ISO 42001.
Generate contracts, reports, summaries, and client communications directly from your FileMaker records — using AI to draft, format, and personalize at scale.
AI can parse incoming data, flag inconsistencies, and pre-fill fields based on context — dramatically reducing manual entry errors.
Let your team ask questions in plain language and get instant answers pulled from your FileMaker data.
Use AI to extract text from PDFs, invoices, or photos and route that data directly into FileMaker fields.
Connect FileMaker to AI-powered workflows via n8n or Zapier so events automatically trigger intelligent downstream actions.
We review your current FileMaker setup: structure, performance, and where AI opportunities are.
We agree on what to build, modernize, or integrate, prioritized by impact and your team's capacity.
Development with your team involved at key checkpoints. No surprises at the end of the project.
Your team knows how to use and maintain what we've built. Full documentation included every time.
