Claude Code Saturday
AI BOUTIQUE EVENT · ZAGREB · 16 SEATS
Your first AI product for work, in a single Saturday. Claude writes the code, you decide what it builds.
The terminal isn’t here because the app can’t do it.
Instead of doing the work, you tinker with the tool.
The backbone of the programme is Claude Code in the terminal. I say that up front because it is unusual. It is not that the app cannot work with your files. It can. Both Claude and ChatGPT do that today, that part is solved.
The reason is a different one and I see it at every training. The app is easy on the eye and that is exactly where the trap sits. You open it to write a proposal and you end up in the settings. The proposal still does not exist. Buttons, menus, toggles, projects, connectors, one more model from a dropdown.
You become your assistant’s assistant. That is also the most expensive part, because you spend the very thing the tool was meant to save you: time. In the terminal there is no such lap around the menus. Everything travels the same path, one line of text: you add a skill, switch on a plugin, write down the rule for how your proposal looks. The same holds for what you need later on, say connecting to an outside data source over MCP.
All of it stays written down in your folder. It still works a month from now and you can copy that folder to a colleague. The model is only one part. What is built around the model so it can do the job for you is called a harness in the trade. That layer decides whether you get finished work or one more answer to copy and paste. In the terminal you reach it directly, without hunting through menus.
I know the question that comes next: why does almost nobody work this way. The black window of the terminal looks like something for programmers. On top of that comes the assumption that you have to know the commands by heart, and the fear that something will break. That is why training on these tools here, as far as I can see, mostly goes through the app: it is easier to sell and easier to run in front of a group.
I have been running hands-on AI training since the beginning of 2024, when there was little of that here. Behind this way of working there are a lot of hours with clients and their real tasks. I do not push the terminal because the terminal is interesting in itself, but because it turned out to be simpler for the person using it.
For most people the fear of the black window passes within the first twenty minutes of work. After that the conversation is only about your job.
This is what the first Saturday looked like.
One Saturday at Hub7 Studio, eight hours. An idea in your head in the morning, a working product by five in the afternoon. Everything in between fits into 17 frames.

Zoom first, then Saturday from 09:00 to 17:00.
September 19 at 9 in the morning, you sit down at the table in Hub7 Studio, in the centre of Zagreb. Claude Code is already installed and signed in to your account, we sorted that together on Zoom three days earlier. Laptop open, coffee hot, and the first sentence you type is yours, not setup.
So by 09:35 you are already writing your main memory instead of hunting for where the terminal opens. When you get stuck, I come over. We have lunch together, in the afternoon you build an agent and a small app. At 16:30 you run it, and at 16:50 the whole room sees it.
We get on a Zoom call and install Claude Code together, step by step, on Mac and on Windows. You sign in to your Claude account, run the first command and see it answer, so Saturday does not start with half the room waiting for a download. If your laptop belongs to the company and is locked down for installs, we find that out then, not on Saturday morning. If the slot does not suit you, you get the recording and a short one-to-one before the workshop.

I take people from “I don’t get it” to “I can’t imagine working without this”. I don’t show up with slides. I sit next to you and we work until it runs.

You pick your project.
Three examples, each one starting from work you do by hand today. Come with your own idea or without one, and if you do not have one, we pick it together, based on what takes up most of your time right now.
Invoices into a spreadsheet
Turns a pile of PDF invoices into a table with the date, supplier, amount and VAT.
How does it work?
You drop every invoice into one folder, the PDFs from your email and the pile you photographed with your phone that sits next to the monitor. Claude Code goes through them one by one, pulls out the date, supplier, amount and VAT, and writes each one into its own row in an Excel sheet. We set it up so that a row it cannot read gets flagged with a note on what to check, rather than guessed at. On Monday morning you add the new invoices to the same folder, run the same command and the table for your accountant is done.
Draft replies
Writes the first draft of a reply to a client enquiry, in your words and on your terms.
How does it work?
First you gather twenty or so of your old replies, the ones that went well. Claude Code picks up from them how you write, which terms you state and where you draw the line on deadlines and prices. Then you paste in a new enquiry and get a draft you polish and send. A full inbox is then not a list of replies you write from scratch, it is a list of drafts you review.
Who hasn’t paid
Matches your bank statement against the invoices you issued and shows who hasn’t paid.
How does it work?
You download the bank statement and export the list of issued invoices, two files you would otherwise compare line by line. Claude Code matches them on amount and reference number, then splits them into three lists: paid, unpaid, and what it cannot match with certainty. For every unpaid invoice it also writes a reminder with the invoice number and the days overdue, ready to send. You open one list in the morning and know who to call before noon.
One price, the full day and everything around it.
Partners of our Saturday
Counting down to September 19.
The same price for everyone, down to the last seat.
550 euros covers a full day of mentoring in a group of no more than 16, a shared lunch, the Zoom call before the workshop where we install Claude Code together, and a month of email support afterwards. You leave Hub7 at five in the afternoon with a laptop running something that did not exist that morning. It is set up so that on Monday morning you simply carry on.
Money-back guarantee
The first module is your trial. If by the first break, at 11:05, you decide this is not for you, you close the laptop and we refund the full ticket price. No questions asked.
