​A full-day, hands-on workshop for knowledge workers ready to go from chatting with AI to working alongside it.

​Description

​For 40 years, using a computer meant learning the computer's language: menus, buttons, keyboard shortcuts. Claude Cowork inverts that. The computer learns your language. It reads your files, connects to your tools, and takes actions on your behalf.

​This workshop teaches you how to work with this new kind of computer.

​One full day. Hands-on. You'll walk out with a working AI workflow you can run at your desk Monday morning.

​Who this is for

​You're a knowledge worker, with a technical or builder mindset. You work in operations, finance, marketing, sales, product, HR, or a similar role. Maybe you've used Claude before, maybe you haven't — what matters is that you're comfortable with technology and ready to learn something new.

​You should be the kind of person who can install an app, manage files on your computer, and follow instructions without hand-holding. We'll teach you everything else.

​You should apply if:

• ​You want to learn how to work alongside an AI agent, not just chat with one

• ​You have real workflows you'd like to automate or improve

• ​You're evaluating Cowork for yourself or your team and want hands-on experience

• ​You have (or are willing to get) a Claude Pro, Teams, Max, or Enterprise subscription

​What you'll learn

​Fundamentals of working with Claude: How Claude actually works — not theory for its own sake, but the practical knowledge that makes you a better user. You'll understand tokens, context, and system prompts so you can manage cost. You'll learn prompt engineering so you can get better results. And you'll learn the cost curve: when to pay for expensive intelligence and when to combine your own judgment with effective techniques and less expensive models. Instructor-led demos throughout.

​Working from Chat to Agents: What changes when Claude goes from answering questions to doing work. The Cowork mental model: an AI agent running on your machine with access to your files, your calendar, your email. Live demo and hands on your first Cowork task.

​Building blocks to automation: Connectors, skills, plugins, and scheduled tasks — the building blocks of Cowork. Two guided hands-on sessions where you connect your real tools, build a custom workflow, and set it up to run automatically. By the end of the afternoon, you'll have something running on your machine that wasn't there this morning.

​What you'll walk away with

​The knowledge to manage AI costs and get better results — understanding tokens, context, model selection, and prompt engineering across every Claude surface

• ​Cowork connected to your real tools, a custom workflow you built and tested, and an automated task scheduled to run Monday morning

• ​A foundation for designing how you work with your AI agent collaborator — and the ability to evaluate what's possible for your team

​Requirements before the workshop

​Bring: Your laptop (macOS or Windows), fully charged, with Claude Desktop installed. An active Claude subscription (Pro, Teams, Max, or Enterprise) with Cowork access. If you don't have one yet, sign up for Claude Pro before the event. No coding experience required. New to Claude? That's fine — we start from the foundations.

​We provide:

• ​Full-day instructor-led workshop

• ​Catered lunch and coffee and snacks

• ​Printed quick-reference materials

• ​Post-workshop resources for continued learning.

​Pricing

​This is for Antfluent's Founding Cohort and we are offering introductory pricing for Toronto Tech Week.

​Standard: $449 CAD
Testimonial Rate: $349 CAD — $100 off for helping us tell the story — a short on-camera testimonial and permission to share it as part of Antfluent's training portfolio.

​One automated workflow that saves you 30 minutes a day pays for this ticket in under two weeks. That's less than $56 per hour of instruction from the person who launched Claude for enterprise at AWS.
