    Fear, Trust, and the Playbook for Successful AI Deployments

    In this episode, Cris Ippolite sits down with Kate Waldhauser, Founder of Violet Beacon, to unpack why so many enterprise AI efforts stall—and what it actually takes to make them work. Together they examine how fear-driven headlines and surface-level interpretations have distorted the AI conversation, from reactions to Salesforce’s generative AI strategy to the widely cited MIT “GenAI Divide” research. Rather than debating whether AI is good or bad, the conversation focuses on execution discipline: designing pilots for production, embedding AI into real workflows, defining acceptance criteria instead of chasing perfection, and treating AI as an organizational transformation rather than a technical experiment. The episode closes with a practical playbook for leaders who want measurable ROI from AI in 2026—grounded in trust, accountability, and strong data foundations. Companion Reading How Serious Companies Are Turning AI Into Measurable Business Advantage — Cris Ippolite https://isolutions.medium.com/how-serious-companies-are-turning-ai-into-measurable-business-advantage-216b2d8fb743 A deeper written exploration of the themes discussed in this episode, expanding on execution discipline, pilot design, integration, ROI measurement, and why data-first organizations consistently outperform.

    AI Architectural Techniques and Use cases with Charles Delfs

    Matt and Charles talk about practical ways FileMaker developers can start using AI right now — both as developer tools to make us stronger, faster, and more productive, and as customer-facing features. Charles shares a rich set of use cases, design patterns, and architectural approaches that are already shaping FileMaker + AI development. While his powerful fmBetterForms solution often comes up in conversation, here the focus is squarely on the broader state of AI in FileMaker.

    Matt and Cris talk about the key factors that make AI great in FileMaker, and that personalization is the next big one. How much does your database know about you?

    How AI is fundamentally changing education and learning FileMaker

    "Sage on the stage" versus "guide on the side" teaching  Cris and Matt look back on how we taught FileMaker in the past, and what changes happened with ChatGPT 4, how the Sal Khan book 'Brave New Words' https://www.amazon.com/Brave-New-Words-Revolutionize-Education/dp/0593656954 Discussed the "2 Sigma problem" - how one-on-one tutoring dramatically improves learning outcomes, and looking for a large change (2 sigma is nerd-speak for that) is the goal. All well and good, but how can AI provide personalized tutoring at scale? Shared examples of AI tools being used in education (Alpha School, Khan Academy). And the day after we recorded, OpenAI released Study Mode! FileMaker and AI: Discussed semantic search and embeddings in FileMaker and how they are not the same thing. Embedding allows for many more uses other than search. One of Matt's favorites is using it to find duplicate images (which may be a different size, resolution, file format, etc)   Explored use cases for Generative AI  (and other forms) in FM development, and that some are on Claris website and that Matt and Cris are developing good uses. The community really needs a library of these, with sample files. A boy can dream. AI is changing our roles as developer from coders to "orchestrators." This aspect is one part of all that we do. To continue the music example, we are also songwriters and editors, engravers, performers, music stand movers, conductors, and more. As we can shift to the 'higher' types of our work, we can spend more time using the skills that set us apart, provide the most value, and bring us the most joy.  Useful links: https://openai.com/index/chatgpt-study-mode/ https://www.evenrealities.com/products/g1-b https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/87567555.1993.9926781 - Personal technology nerd moment: Cris showed his new AI-enabled glasses with teleprompter capabilities https://www.evenrealities.com/ Matt mentioned Eva Cassidy, which was sparked from our discussion about orchestration. An amazing orchestrator took her recordings, used AI to separate out her voice stem, composed orchestral arrangements, and edited them together with her voice, and the results are amazing. One of Matt's top 10 albums. It's so sad that she died in 1996 at the age of 33 (of melanoma, not ovarian cancer) https://music.apple.com/us/album/i-can-only-be-me-orchestral/1651033448 https://www.gratefulweb.com/articles/eva-cassidys-impeccable-voice-paired-london-symphony-orchestra-i-can-only-be-me-album-0
