ChatGPT has dominated the news cycle recently, with articles appearing in just about every media outlet.
For those who haven’t heard about it, ChatGPT is a chatbot driven by artificial intelligence (AI) software.
OpenAI developed the service and released a beta version of it at the end of 2022. It can generate a chat – an online conversation – in a natural, almost conversational way.
It has been “trained” on a large dataset of information – basically, much of the Internet as it existed in 2021.
As such, it can respond to questions on a wide variety of subjects in a knowledgeable way.
It is surprisingly robust and has already shown the ability to write articles, research papers, and software code, among other things, quite accurately.

See a helpful example of how to use ChatGPT and FileMaker to improve productivity and streamline administrative tasks as FileMaker consultants.
The Claris Beyond group is open to all experience levels and we encourage people to bring questions, problems, and share innovative solutions.
Our user group’s specific focus will be on topics related to external integrations with FileMaker, such as Claris Connect, REST API integration, or integration via a third-party tool or application.
We meet through Zoom on the third Wednesday of each month, for an hour to an hour and a half, starting at 12pm Pacific (2pm CT / 3pm ET). Meetings are a mixture of leader-led discussions, group Q&A, and guest speaker presentations.
Low-code and no-code platforms allow citizen developers to create applications with minimal knowledge of computer science and coding.
According to Forbes, low-code apps are projected to experience high growth in coming years, largely because low-code development is significantly faster and cheaper than traditional code development.
We were curious about new platforms in the space, so we decided to conduct a FileMaker & Honeycode comparison.
This article covers more Views, a little errata from past articles (Parts 1, 2, & 3), and where we go from here.
This is the final article of the planned four.
But if something really inspiring materializes, there may be followup article(s).
Some famous "trilogies" (films and books, especially) have gotten additional content, so why not?
Welcome back!
The Spreadsheet View and the Dashboard View are not the only features of Claris Studio.
I chose them to discuss first because the Spreadsheet has more information about the tables and fields.
That information may be helpful on all Views.
But we have other Views: anonymous Form submission, a List-Detail View (suitable for searching, adding, editing), a Kanban View (just another way to present the data & edit it), and some new ones since the last article.
Are you looking for a reusable tool to be integrated with your Claris FileMaker solution that provides an easy-to-use date range chooser pop-up window?
Look no further! Portage Bay has created the Modular Date Range Chooser which can easily be added to your solution, either by copying and pasting the components into your existing solution, or linking the file as an external widget file.
When most people think about custom-built software for business, they think of a single application with a single purpose, like a CRM or an email client.
We can understand why most businesses would not look for custom software solutions for such applications—why spend that money when there are so many options from which to choose already on the market?
But the kinds of projects we typically engage in here at Skeleton Key aren’t single-purpose custom applications.
We are often building software that runs entire businesses—or at least, that runs many of their core operations.
So the question of whether or not your business needs custom software solutions isn’t answered by thinking in terms of typical apps, but rather by thinking in terms of another type of software: ERP systems and ERP modules.
Learning everything you can do with Claris/FileMaker scripts is such a wonderful journey.
