SUMMARY:AI on Autopilot: Making Claude Work While You Sleep | AICHR
DESCRIPTION:Notice: This meeting will be recorded. By joining and remaining in this meeting\, you consent to being recorded. If you do not consent\, please do not join. \nYou’ve seen what Claude can do. You’ve built automations. Maybe you even set up that morning briefing from our last event. But here’s the honest question: how many of those automations are you still running manually every time?\nMost people try an AI workflow once\, love it\, and then forget to run it again by Wednesday. The problem isn’t capability — it’s consistency. You keep forgetting to ask.\nThis session fixes that. We’re taking the automations you already know how to build and putting them on a schedule that runs without you. Daily. Weekly. Monthly. While you sleep\, while you commute\, while you argue with your alarm clock.\nThis is a live\, demo-driven walkthrough. We’re not talking theory. We’re opening Claude Desktop\, scheduling real tasks\, and watching them work — all in Cowork mode\, no coding required. \nWhat we’ll cover: \n🔄 Two Levels of Automation \nLevel 1: Cowork Scheduled Tasks — runs on your desktop\, no code\, click-and-schedule simplicity. For everyone. \nLevel 2: Claude Code Routines — runs on Anthropic’s cloud\, laptop can be closed\, API and GitHub triggers. For developers. (Launched April 14 — brand new.) \n⚡ 10 Automations We’ll Build Live: \n\nThe Morning Briefing — calendar + email + priorities\, ready before you wake up\nInbox Zero at Dawn — email triage and draft replies waiting for your review\nThe Self-Cleaning Downloads Folder — file organization at midnight\, every night\nMeeting Prep That Beats You to Work — research brief 2 hours before your first meeting\nThe Friday Report That Writes Itself — weekly summary compiled automatically\nWeekly Competitive Intelligence — competitor monitoring every Monday\nThe Subscription Watchdog — monthly scan of recurring charges you forgot about\nExpense Reports on Autopilot — receipts processed every Friday\nContent Calendar Batch — week’s social media drafts ready Monday morning\nThe Weekend Cleanup Crew — digital housekeeping while you enjoy Saturday\n\n🔗 Chaining: When Automations Talk to Each Other The real power: one automation triggers the next. Morning briefing flags an urgent email → draft reply auto-generates → you review on your phone over coffee → approved reply sends before you reach your desk. Three automations\, zero manual triggers. \nWho this is for: Anyone with a Claude Pro or Max subscription who’s used Cowork at least once. If you attended our April 9 (Claude Code) or April 23 (AI Coworker) events\, this is the natural next step. If you didn’t\, you’re still welcome — the setup takes 60 seconds and we’ll walk through it live. \nWho this is NOT for: If you haven’t installed Claude Desktop yet\, start with our free setup guide (linked on the event page) before the event. We’re spending our time scheduling and automating\, not installing. \nWhat you’ll leave with: ✅ At least 2-3 scheduled automations running on your machine ✅ A free homework doc with all 10 prompts ready to copy ✅ The framework for building and chaining your own automations ✅ Access to the AI Automation Playbook ($29) for advanced patterns and developer-level Routines \nPrerequisites: — Claude Desktop installed (claude.com/download) — Claude Pro ($20/month) or Max ($100+/month) subscription — Cowork mode accessible (click “Cowork” at the top of the app) — Gmail and Google Calendar connectors set up (for the email-based demos) \n🎙️ Your Speaker Andrew 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. \n🏢 For Businesses Want to bring AI automation training to your team? We offer private workshops (lunch and learn\, half-day\, full-day bootcamp)\, conference speaking\, and technical consulting.

SUMMARY:Before You Build: How to Define the Right MVP for Your Startup
DESCRIPTION:Featuring LaToya Allen\, Founder of NoteLoft \n​Building too early—or building too much—is one of the most expensive mistakes an early-stage founder can make. Before you write a single line of code or hire a designer\, you need a roadmap that prioritizes revenue over “feature creep.” \n​Join LaToya Allen\, founder of NoteLoft and veteran software engineer\, for a high-impact session on defining a lean\, investor-ready MVP. With 13 years of experience building for both startups and enterprise\, LaToya will show you how to cut through the noise and ship what actually matters. \n​In this session\, we’ll cover: \n\n​The “Problem First” Framework: Identifying the single most important hurdle your product must clear.\nFeature Prioritization: How to ruthlessly decide what stays and what goes in V1.\n​The AI Litmus Test: Does AI actually belong in your MVP\, or is it a distraction?\nRoadmapping: Creating a path from initial launch to a scalable\, revenue-focused product.\n\n​Whether you’re a solo founder or leading an executive team\, this talk will give you the tools to ship faster than your competitors can hire.

SUMMARY:Norfolk.js: 670k People Watched Us Vibe Code
DESCRIPTION:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYx8NX49OS8\nImagine being flown across the country to build a full-stack app from scratch in under four hours\, where you have to demo what you made in front of a dev influencer\, corporate recruiter\, and competing engineering teams regardless of if it’s finished or a broken mess. \nNow imagine that it’s all being filmed by a full production crew\, having to juggle team interviews and makeup touchups between code commits and debugging attempts\, all to make a video that’s been viewed over 670\,000 times! Terrifying right? \nRyan McGovern and Austin Galyon did exactly that while competing in a CodeTV Web Dev Challenge sponsored by Intuit\, where they built Pantry Party – a collaborative generative recipe app built using Astro\, Convex\, Clerk\, Netlify\, and the Claude API\, most of which they had never seen or used before that morning. They’ll share what the experience was actually like behind the scenes\, where AI-assisted coding helped\, where it completely failed\, and how their tooling has evolved since. \nAll skill levels welcome! The 757Dev Community means a lot to me\, and I thank each of you for your support. 🖖 \nAs always\, HUGE thanks to Assembly for hosting.
Learn more about the amenities and community of Assembly at https://www.assemblynfk.com/ \nStreet parking is free after 6 pm. From 6:30-7:00 pm\, we will have someone at the door to let you in. After 7\, message the #javascript channel on 757Dev Slack. We meet in the Fur Room on the 4th floor.

SUMMARY:Claude as Your AI Coworker | AICHR
DESCRIPTION:This event is capped at 500 attendees. Register now to secure your spot. \nEveryone thinks Claude Code is for developers. It’s not.\nClaude Code and Cowork are the closest things we have to a true AI coworker — one that connects to your email\, your calendar\, your files\, and your apps\, then actually does the work instead of just answering questions about it.\nThis session shows you 10 practical things Claude can do for you right now — no coding required. Every example follows the same pattern: you provide the idea and make the final call\, the AI handles the grunt work\, and you review before anything goes live. Human in the loop\, every step.\nThis is our most accessible event yet. If you’ve been curious about AI but felt like everything was aimed at developers — this one’s for you. \n🔍 What We’ll Cover \n10 Live Demonstrations (or as many as we can get done in the hour) \n\nDaily Morning Briefing — Calendar + email + priorities\, generated before you wake up\nMeeting Prep Researcher — Topic research + one-page briefing\, ready before you walk in\nEmail Triage Assistant — Scan inbox\, flag priorities\, draft replies for your review\nFile Organizer — 500 messy files → sorted\, renamed\, organized in minutes\nData Cleanup Specialist — Messy spreadsheets → clean\, standardized\, formatted\nCompetitive Research Analyst — 5 competitors → structured landscape document\nWeekly Status Report Generator — Compile your week’s work into a summary\nTravel Planner — Budget + dates + preferences → complete itinerary\nSubscription Audit — Find and flag every unused recurring charge\nPresentation Generator — Notes or a topic → branded slide deck\n\nThe Human-in-the-Loop Pattern Every demo follows the same principle: you bring the starting ideas and judgment. The AI does the heavy lifting. You review and approve before anything is final. The AI is the intern — you’re the boss. \nSetup for Non-Technical People We’ll show you how to get Cowork running on your machine — no terminal\, no code\, no developer tools. Just the Claude Desktop app and your existing accounts. \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. \nAlso runs Claude Code for Business Group\nAnd AI Consulting Group \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. \nAttendees will receive a comprehensive homework resource guide and access to our AI Workflow Starter Kit for those who want done-for-you templates and video walkthroughs. \n\n🤝 Organizers & partners\n​\nOrganizers\nThe AI Collective Hampton Roads \n​Platinum partners\nTechArk\nRegent University\nECPI University\nHampton Roads Chamber Foundation\nRetail Alliance & Retail Alliance Foundation \nBronze partners\nAssembly\n757 Collab \n🌍 ​Our parent org \nThe AI Collective is a global non-profit community uniting 150\,000+ pioneers – founders\, researchers\, operators\, and investors – exploring the frontier of AI in major tech hubs worldwide.
