Build With Claude

Six hands-on sessions, 90 minutes each, where you and your team set up Claude on your company's own email, files and data and leave every session with something working. Six people per group, on Google Meet.

What you leave with

Module 1

Module 2

Built and owned by your team

Each person builds everything themselves on your company's accounts, with your real email and files. It all belongs to your company and stays when that person leaves.

Two modules

Start with Module 1, in December or January. If Claude is already connected to your email and calendar and you use it on your files and folders, start with Module 2. The December group runs with 4 or more people. If it doesn't fill, you move to January.
