Claude SMB Workshop with Design Main Street - Virtual
Learn how to put Claude to work in your small business.
The Claude SMB Workshop is coming online, hosted by Design Main Street — an Approved Claude SMB Trainer organization, and facilitated by Will Hsiao, a seasoned tech operator and a small business owner.
We’ll start with identifying your objectives for integrating AI tools and capabilities into your business operations by articulating your values, goals, and constraints for more effective AI collaboration.
We’ll continue with getting your Claude set up in the optimum way to ensure a consistent experience when working with Claude. And we’ll show you how to connect Claude to the tools you already use (Gmail, Calendar, QuickBooks, Shopify, Gusto, and more) and design your first workflow, where Claude drafts and you approve.
What you'll get
Practical AI integration: what Claude does well, what to double-check, and where the limits are. Built for business owners, not engineers. No technical background needed.
Case studies: We’ll look at concrete utilization in SMB
Personalize your Claude experience with optimized setup
A real task working. Bring one of yours (payroll, invoices, marketing, a lead to follow up) and leave with it running in Claude, not just a plan to try it later.
Live help while you build.
One free month of Claude Max (for people new to Claude Max).
