Hi,

We see that AI is gradually being integrated directly into ArcGIS workflows — and increasingly into other GIS platforms as well. I’m therefore curious about the status and direction regarding AI within FME.

Are we likely to see developments such as:

  • Natural language interaction with FME (describing what you want to achieve rather than manually navigating specific transformers)

  • Built-in dataset analysis with automatic detection of inconsistencies and suggested corrections

  • AI-assisted workspace generation based on existing patterns and usage — for example, proposing or automatically building new workbenches based on previously created workflows when you need it

More generally:

  • How does SAFE see the role of AI evolving within FME?

  • When can we expect more visible AI-driven functionality in FME Form and Flow?

  • Are there upcoming releases, beta programs, or public roadmap information related to this?

FME is deeply integrated into our infrastructure and data management workflows, and we are very interested in understanding how SAFE plans to position FME in this landscape over the next few years.

Looking forward to your insights.
