Who this is for
Two hands-on sessions on automating real work and building your own solutions with Claude.
Build the tools you wish existed. You do not need to be a developer, curiosity required, a coding background is not.
What you’ll cover
Session 5 · Tuesday — Claude Code
Turn an idea into a working tool, a script or an automation.
Covers:
- What Claude Code is and what it can build: small apps, data jobs, automations
- Running it from your desktop, your terminal or your phone
- Pitched for non-developers and developers in the same room
- Scoping a build properly so you get what you actually wanted
Session 6 · Thursday — Extending Claude
Connect Claude to your world, then design how you work with it.
Covers:
- MCP and connectors: plugging Claude into your own tools and data
- Building your own Skills, the ready-made capabilities you met in Level 1
- Designing an AI-augmented workflow for your own role or team
- Governance, data security and risk: doing this responsibly in a regulated sector
What you’ll walk away able to do
- Build a simple tool or automation without writing code from scratch
- Connect Claude to the systems you already use
- Leave with a workflow designed for your business, and the judgement to run it safely

About your tutor
Seb Lawson
These workshops are led by Seb Lawson, founder of the AI and automation consultancy Spark AI Agency and former Head of Innovation at Digital Jersey. He works with AI and automation every day, building real systems for financial and professional services firms, so the sessions stay grounded in what actually works rather than what is merely cutting edge.
He has built and scaled products on both sides of the Atlantic: in Silicon Valley at the drone-delivery company Zipline, and in London at JustPark, the parking platform he helped grow to its exit. A mechanical engineer by training, he is an introvert who would rather ship something useful than talk about it.
