FAQs

Agentic development is a method of building software in which AI works alongside developers in a structured system. It's designed to produce production-quality code through a repeatable, reviewable process. Tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex are leading examples of agentic development environments.

"Vibe coding" generally refers to using AI to quickly generate code and rough prototypes from natural-language prompts. It emphasizes speed and experimentation over production readiness. Agentic development uses AI systems that can plan, use tools, and iterate toward defined goals, enabling more structured and reliable software development workflows.

FileMaker is being built as a first-class development target inside leading agentic coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. Developers choose the AI tool they prefer and aren't locked into a single vendor. As these AI tools improve, the FileMaker development workflow built around them will improve alongside the tools.

Yes. Agentic development amplifies what developers can deliver—it doesn't replace them. AI generates code, but it can't understand the business: the data, workflows, users, and how the FileMaker solution works under real conditions. That business knowledge is a strong asset in this new era of AI-powered development.

Yes. FileMaker 2026 lays the groundwork for agentic development. Updating to FileMaker 2026 now is a requirement to participate. Upgrade to FileMaker 2026 now
