​Claude in Action: Using Anthropic's AI Toolset for Practical Business Work

​Anthropic's Claude is quickly becoming more than just a "chatbot". For many, its tools are helping them evolve it into a practical collaborator for planning, coding, research, and workflow execution. At our March IA•AI meetup, we’ll explore how Claude is being used in real-world environments.

​We plan to cover:

• ​How Claude “Cowork” enables file-aware collaboration on the desktop

• ​Practical use of Claude Code for planning and generating production-ready features

• ​Integrations and workflow approaches that connect Claude to broader business systems

• ​Where human oversight is still critical—and what new challenges emerge as AI-generated output scales

​This session will include live demos and examples from local IA•AI members (Andrew Miller, Jason Wonase, with Joshua McNary) who are actively using Claude in development and operational settings. Whether you write code, manage projects, or lead business systems, the goal is to show how these tools can move from experimentation to structured workflow.

​The conversation will stay grounded, practical, and interactive—focused on what’s working, what’s evolving, and what business leaders should be considering now.
