Wading Into Claude Code: A Live Workshop for Non-Developers
Claude Code is an AI agent that works on your computer, and you do not need to know how to code to use it. I will spend two hours showing it working live, on real tasks, with real files. No slides, no scripted demo.

What you will see:
- A full-site SEO audit, run by several agents working at once on a real website.
- A legal research and small claims filing, built from free open-source tools.
- A branded website built from one prompt and put online, with no WordPress and no monthly subscription.
- Scripts that run on a schedule, so the work keeps happening without you watching it.
What you will leave with:
- How to set up Claude Code and organize your sessions.
- How Plan Mode and hard rules keep a mistake from becoming an expensive one.
- How to find and check open-source tools before you trust them.
- When to use chat AI, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code.
Who it is for: founders, marketers, freelancers, and curious professionals who want to use AI for more than chat. No coding background needed. Bring a laptop if you want to follow along.
About the host:
I founded a marketing agency, grew it for eight years, and sold it. Now I teach marketing and communications teams to use Claude and Claude Code without a developer. That includes the custom AI curriculum I built for Salesforce Workforce Navigators. I run the Midwest Marketing Meetup in Grand Rapids and lead monthly Show and Tell sessions at Bamboo Grand Rapids.
Hosted at Bamboo Ann Arbor by Unicorn Flames.

I've had the opportunity to work out of both the Detroit and Royal Oak location and Bamboo, as a whole, is by far the greatest work environment you will find in the area.
