From Prompt to Product - Getting started with Claude #5
4 hours. One idea in. One product out.
You won't leave with notes. You'll leave with something built.
In this four-hour, hands-on workshop you will stop thinking about what you could build and actually build it. A website, a workflow, a tool for your business. Real, working, yours. Not a prototype in someone else's demo. Something you made.
You may have heard that AI can change how you work. But getting started often feels unclear, and building alone rarely happens. This is the practical way in. We work with Claude as a building partner directly on your machine, moving step by step from idea to something live.
No coding background required. Just bring your Mac and something you want to make.
What you'll actually build
This is a build session, not a lecture. You choose your outcome:
A website: portfolio, landing page, or service page
A business automation: emails, onboarding, or data workflows
A custom tool: dashboards, mini apps, or internal resources
Something experimental: bring an idea and we help you shape it
Who this is for
You are a good fit if you run a business, consultancy, or side project, have ideas but keep getting blocked, want to move faster without hiring a developer, and are curious about AI beyond basic prompting.
This is not the right fit if you prefer watching demos over building, or do not have a MacBook with an updated OS.
Why CoLab Lisbon
Building alone creates anxiety. Building together creates momentum.
This is not a traditional workshop where you watch someone else's screen. Everyone in the room is creating, problem-solving, and sharing the process together. You get unstuck faster, see what is possible in real time, and leave with a network of fellow builders in Lisbon.
