Stuttgart | Claude Workshop

​Join a Claude Community Event, organized by local enthusiasts for everyone who loves building with Claude!

​Claude at work in the Stuttgart Mittelstand

​Your company is told to "use AI", but what does that look like on a normal Tuesday in engineering, quality, sales or admin? In this hands-on workshop, you'll hear from people at local Mittelstand companies who use Claude every day, then try it yourself on the tasks that eat your week.

​Claude is an AI developed by Anthropic. Describe what you need in plain words, and Claude helps you get it done:

• ​A clear report from messy meeting or inspection notes

• ​A draft quote from a customer email, with line items and open questions

• ​A checklist or work instruction from a process description

• ​A reusable prompt for the task you repeat every week

​Who it's for

​People from Stuttgart-area companies, especially the Mittelstand, and anyone curious. No AI experience needed. If you already use other AI tools, you'll get a lot out of it too.

​What to bring

• ​Your laptop and charger. Company laptops sometimes block Claude, so a personal laptop is safer.

• ​Claude: the desktop app or claude.ai in the browser. The free plan works for the basics, but Claude Pro is nice to have so you don't hit a limit mid-task.

• ​A real but non-confidential task: sample data only, please

​Attendee API credits 🎁

​Approved attendees may be eligible for $50 in Claude API credits, redeemed on the Claude Platform (https://platform.claude.com) under an organization, not a personal account. Please register here with the same email you use for your Claude account. Credits are subject to availability and not guaranteed, so come ready to build either way.

Want to speak?

​We're looking for 1–3 speakers from Stuttgart-area companies who use Claude in daily work. Send me a short paragraph on /aydincanpolatkan by 18 November: what you tried, how you used Claude, what worked and what didn't. No sales pitch.

​Free and in English. Seats are limited and registrations are approved by the host. If your plans change, please cancel so someone from the waitlist can take your spot. Photos may be taken; tell us if you'd rather not appear in them.

​Thanks to CREATORS for providing the space.
