Claude 101 · Edmonton · Thursday Sept 17

Before you come.

Five minutes at home so the first twenty minutes in the room go fast. Three things. That's it.

Do these tonight

Three things, five minutes.

01

Make a free Claude account

Go to claude.ai and sign up with your email or your Google login. The free plan is all you need for the night. Don't pay for anything yet. I'll show you what paid adds and you can decide after.

02

Log in on the laptop you're bringing

The actual laptop, not your phone. Do it now so it's already open when you sit down. I'd rather not have a room full of people typing passwords into a login screen at 6:05.

03

Bring a charger and one task

One thing in your business that eats your week. Replying to emails. Quoting. Invoicing. Chasing leads. Whatever it is, that's what you're building around.

Where and when

Brighton Block, Jasper Avenue.

The night

Doors at 6:00. We start at 6:10 sharp.

6:10 to 8:00 is the teaching. Something built in front of you every twenty minutes.

8:00 to 9:00 I stay for questions and as much one on one help as I can get through.

What it's like

A teach-along, not a talk.

You do it on your laptop while I do it on the screen

Same build for everyone, at the same time. Nobody gets left behind and nobody has to show their work.

Nothing on the screen is made in advance

Every tool you see gets built from an empty box, in plain English, in front of you. Including the question box you'll be using.

Questions are anonymous, all night

Scan a code, type it, it goes on the big screen. No hand up, no name. Ask the thing you'd be embarrassed to ask out loud.

There's nothing to buy at the end

You get the guide, the newsletter if you want it, and you go home. No pitch from the stage.

Quick ones

Things people ask.

I've never used Claude or any AI tool. Is this for me?

Yes. That's exactly who this is built for. If you've used ChatGPT once to write an email, you're ahead of where we start.

Do I need the paid plan?

No. Everything we do in the room works on the free plan. I'll show you what paid adds near the end so you can decide later with your eyes open.

What if I don't own a business, I work for one?

Come. Everything we build is around a task, not a title. If you have work that repeats every week, this is for you.

Will there be wifi?

Yes, but do the account setup at home anyway. Fifty laptops on venue wifi is not where you want to be creating a password.

Can I bring a tablet or phone instead?

It works in a pinch, but a laptop is much better. You'll be typing and copying things all night.
