SUMMARY:Claude Code: From Setup to Agentic Workflows | AICHR
DESCRIPTION:Claude Code: From Setup to Agentic Workflows\nHands-on with the tool that’s turning developers and power users into one-person engineering teams. \nThis is a live\, digital-only event. No in-person attendance. Join from anywhere. \nApril 9\, 2026 · 6:30 PM EST \nAI coding assistants have been around for a while now. Most of them autocomplete your lines and call it a day. Claude Code is something different — it’s an agentic system that lives in your terminal\, reads your entire codebase\, executes multi-file operations\, and coordinates work across sessions and sub-agents. \nThis session is a live\, demo-driven walkthrough of Claude Code and Anthropic’s expanding agentic toolkit. We’re not talking theory. We’re opening terminals\, pairing devices\, and building things in real time.\nWhether you’re a developer looking to 10x your workflow or a technical professional who wants to understand what agentic coding actually looks like in practice\, this is the session to attend. \nJoin Andrew Stafford for a hands-on tour of how Claude’s tools work together to turn a single prompt into a coordinated\, multi-step workflow. \n🔍 What We’ll Cover \nClaude Code: Setup & Core Concepts Installation\, configuration\, and your first agentic session. How Claude Code reads your codebase\, plans changes\, and executes across files — not just autocomplete\, but autonomous multi-step workflows. \nTasks: From To-Dos to Orchestration How Claude Code’s Task system manages complex work with dependency graphs\, filesystem persistence\, and cross-session coordination. Break down big projects into parallelizable work that survives session restarts. \nCowork: Agentic Power Beyond Code Claude Code’s capabilities applied to knowledge work on your desktop. Local file access\, connectors to Slack\, Notion\, Google Drive\, and more — all running in a sandboxed VM on your machine. Live demo of real workflow automation. \nDispatch: Your Phone as a Remote Control The newest feature in the toolkit. Pair your phone to your desktop Cowork session\, fire off tasks from anywhere\, and come back to finished work. We’ll set it up live and put it through its paces. \nThe Agentic Stack: How It All Fits Together Claude Code in the terminal. Cowork on the desktop. Dispatch from your phone. Tasks coordinating across sessions. Sub-agents working in parallel. We’ll map out how these pieces connect into a unified workflow and where they’re heading. \n🎙️ Your Speaker\nAndrew Stafford Co-Lead of The AI Collective Hampton Roads 25+ years across technology\, cloud architecture\, and AI — including work with Amazon\, NASA\, healthcare platforms\, and enterprise systems. Author of AI for Business. Currently building at the intersection of AI tooling\, agentic workflows\, and practical business automation. \nWho should attend? \n\nDevelopers and engineers who want to go beyond copilot-style autocomplete\nTechnical professionals curious about agentic AI workflows\nFounders and operators looking to understand the productivity shift\nAnyone who builds\, ships\, or manages software and wants to see what’s possible now\n\nWhy this matters\nThe gap between “AI assistant” and “AI agent” is closing fast. Claude Code doesn’t just suggest code — it plans\, executes\, verifies\, and coordinates. Cowork extends that to knowledge work. Dispatch makes it mobile. Tasks make it persistent. \nThis isn’t a future roadmap talk. These tools are live\, shipping\, and available today. The question isn’t whether agentic workflows will change how you work — it’s how fast you’ll adopt them. \nCome see what it looks like when you stop chatting with AI and start delegating to it. \n\nOur parent org The AI Collective is a global non-profit community uniting 210\,000+ pioneers – founders\, researchers\, operators\, and investors – exploring the frontier of AI in major tech hubs worldwide. Through events\, workshops\, and community-led research\, we empower the AI ecosystem to collaboratively steer AI’s future toward trust\, openness\, and human flourishing.\nAll attendees and organizers at events affiliated with The AI Collective are subject to our Code of Conduct.
