A free, self-paced workshop in two parts. Build your mental model with an AI primer, then follow a hands-on guide to ship a real-time idea-board app on your own domain.
What you'll build
By the end of the workshop, you'll have a deployed, working app - built with Claude Code, deployed to Vercel, and live on your own URL. Not a toy. A real, multi-user product.
Workshop curriculum
Part one maps the AI landscape - from accelerating progress through neural networks and LLMs to coding agents. Part two puts it to work: nine guided steps from blank repo to live URL.
The arc from accelerating progress through neural networks and LLMs to scaling laws and coding agents - the why behind the tools you'll use in Part 2.
Claude Code in practice: model choice, context management, the commands you'll rely on, and how to read what the agent is actually doing.
Install-check the local environment, connect InstantDB, GitHub, and Vercel, then review the SPEC.md the agent will work from.
Hand the spec to the agent in phases, review the plan, implement the Idea Board, and verify the real-time app in two browser windows.
Push to GitHub, deploy to Vercel, try a small follow-up feature, and leave with prompts and checkpoints you can reuse.
Who it's for
If you've been hearing about agentic coding and want a hands-on, dry-eyed run-through - not a hype reel - this is for you.
Private team workshop · Paid engagement
A hands-on, paid session for small product, design, and engineering leadership groups. Even folks who don't code day to day leave with a working prototype and a shared playbook your team can keep using.

What previous attendees say
The Claude AI Hands-on Workshop by Ann Catherine Jose and George Chiramattel (latentsignal.org) was truly eye-opening, demonstrating how to seamlessly plan, develop and deploy a working application in just a few hours. I've been meaning to evaluate Anthropic Claude for quite some time, so this was the perfect opportunity. Claude Code’s low barrier to entry is a game-changer. It transforms AI fundamentals into practical, real-world tools almost instantly. This experience has fundamentally expanded my perspective on integrating Claude Code into both my personal projects and my role at AAA MWG.
