What’s New in FileMaker Pro 2025

Artificial Intelligence gets a lot of buzz—but much of it feels like vapor. Flashy demos, endless beta tools, and promises of productivity revolutions that never quite materialize. With the 2025 release of FileMaker Pro, we’re seeing something different: real, practical AI features that are integrated directly into your software, built for the workflows your team already uses. No hype. Just tools that help your people work faster, find what they need, and make better decisions—right now.

Here’s a quick overview of what this means for your business:

Ask Plain-English Questions, Get Real Answers

Instead of hunting through dashboards or reports, you can now just ask FileMaker a question, like:

• “Who are our top 10 customers this quarter?”
• “Which orders over $1,000 shipped to California last week?”

⠀FileMaker understands and responds—just like having a data analyst on call.

Smart Search That Understands Meaning

A new semantic search feature helps you find what you’re looking for—even if you don’t use the exact words.

• Want to find product descriptions that are similar to a keyword?
• Want to track down an image in your system that looks like a sample photo?

⠀Now you can. FileMaker “understands” content the way people do—matching meaning, not just keywords.

Generate Responses, Emails & Summaries with AI

Need to quickly write a customer response, generate a summary of notes, or draft a document? FileMaker can do that, too.

For example:

• “Summarize this project update in a few bullet points.”
• “Draft an apology email offering a discount for late shipping.”

⠀It’s like having an AI assistant built into your database.

Connect Your Own Documents to Power Answers

Have policy manuals, contracts, or internal documents? FileMaker’s AI can reference them when answering your team’s questions.

This means:

• Less time digging through PDFs
• More accurate, customized answers using your own materials

Secure, Flexible, and Built for Business

These AI features are available using:

• Industry-leading models like OpenAI, Cohere, or Anthropic
• Your own private AI server for data privacy and control

⠀No need to send sensitive data to third-party cloud tools. You stay in charge.

Bottom Line: Less Friction, Faster Insight

FileMaker Pro 2025 turns your existing system into a smarter, faster, and more intuitive tool—without having to overhaul anything. Your team gets the benefit of advanced AI, right inside the workflows they already use.
