A new DevCast episode released today

Join us this month for the Portage Bay DevCast, a chance to listen in on our team of expert Claris FileMaker developers talking about and staying up to date on all things FileMaker and sometimes beyond! The episode was just released over at PodBean, and we’re working on having it available in other areas, too, such as Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and more. 

Our focus this month is on ChatGPT, a state-of-the-art language model developed by OpenAI. We’ll be exploring the capabilities of this powerful technology and discussing how it can be applied in various industries and fields, but especially Claris FileMaker Pro development. From customer service and chatbots to data analysis and content creation, ChatGPT has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with and understand language.

Why should Claris FileMaker developers care?

ChatGPT can directly generate FileMaker scripts based on natural language input. The results are amazing and may change the way we work as developers.

Microsoft announced last month an additional $10 billion investment in OpenAI, clearly demonstrating their view on the future impact of artificial intelligence on the tech world.

What is ChatGPT? Will systems like ChatGPT replace Google for search? Will we call ChatGPT’s API from FileMaker Pro to accomplish different tasks? Tune in to the podcast for a discussion about these questions.

Whether you’re a developer looking to implement ChatGPT in your projects or simply someone who is curious about the latest advancements in AI, this podcast is for you. Listen and watch along to discover the many ways ChatGPT may be used to change our lives and businesses.

One way we’ve been trying out ChatGPT

When all of the ChatGPT hubbub bubbled up in the news recently, one of our Senior Application Developers, Xandon Frogget, was writing a blog post about OAuth2.0. (Securing the Future: How to Ensure Safe Automated Emailing in FileMaker with OAuth 2.0.) So he used that task as an opportunity to test out some of the touted features. 

When you read that article you’ll notice italicized sections. Those sections were all generated in ChatGPT, and several of the graphics within the post – such as the one below – came from cutting-edge AI technology from Midjourney.

We’ve also created a transcript of the FileMaker DevCast, with speech-to-text recognition from another AI and machine learning tool, Otter.ai.
