Release notes:

New Release
New features and enhancements:
Artificial intelligence script steps and functions:
Using new capabilities like SQL queries and FileMaker finds by natural language, as well as performing agentic operations that can use functionality you define, you now have even more ways to surface real intelligence from your data.
New AI script steps:
Perform SQL Query by Natural Language: Sends a natural language prompt and database schema to a model, which sends back an SQL query to get a result from the database to use in its response. By leaving it to the AI model to create complex SQL statements in response to a user's prompt such as "Show me our top 10 highest-value deals this quarter," developers can provide their users answers from their data more easily and without sending the data itself to a model provider. Includes debug options that show developers the schema sent to and the SQL received from the model.
Perform Find by Natural Language: Sends a natural language prompt and a list of fields on the current layout to a model, which returns a FileMaker find request, and performs a find. Includes options to return the found set, or the find request, as JSON.
Generate Response from Model: Gets a text response from an AI model given a user prompt in natural language. Can perform agentic operations with advanced prompts, conversation memory, and tool calls (to perform SQL queries, retrieve images, and use FileMaker custom functions). Or you can turn off agentic mode and gain precise control over interactions with the model.
Configure Prompt Template: Sets up a prompt template to use by name in other AI script steps, given a model provider and predefined prompts you can customize. Can be used in Perform SQL Query by Natural Language, Perform Find by Natural Language, and Generate Response from Model script steps. Start with the predefined prompts, customize them, or write your own to achieve an optimal response from the model.
Configure RAG Account: Sets up a retrieval
