I built a small tool for working with AI-generated FileMaker scripts
I've been experimenting with using ChatGPT/Claude to generate FileMaker scripts, but there's an annoying gap between what an AI produces as plain text and what FileMaker Pro can actually import into the Script Workspace.
So I built Rialto — a small native macOS utility that bridges that gap.
AI → plain-text FileMaker script → Rialto → FileMaker XML → FileMaker Pro
You paste the script generated by your AI into Rialto, translate it, and copy the resulting XML into FileMaker's Script Workspace.
It runs locally on the Mac and doesn't require an AI API key.
I've just put the first public release on GitHub:
Rialto — The bridge between AI and FileMaker
https://github.com/arbyteconsulting/rialto
It's very much a 0.1 release, so I'm interested in hearing where it works and, more importantly, where it doesn't.
If anyone here regularly uses AI to help write FileMaker scripts, I'd be interested to hear what you think.
