Getting Real with Claude Code: A Hands-On Workshop

A three-hour, hands-on Claude Code workshop in Riyadh for AI builders ready to integrate agentic workflows into real projects. Taking place on Saturday, 15 August 2026, from 1:30pm to 4:30pm GMT+3, the session combines practical work, live demonstrations and technical discussion rather than high-level AI theory or sales presentations. ## What to expect Hosted by AI Tinkerers Riyadh in partnership with Colabs Saudi, this workshop focuses on getting real with Claude Code and exploring how agentic workflows can fit into the way builders develop software. Expect a builder-led environment centred on working systems, code and implementation details. The wider AI Tinkerers format is deliberately demo-first and no-pitch. Its events give practitioners space to share prototypes, architecture lessons, failures and production insights, followed by technical questions and peer discussion. For this workshop, that practical ethos translates into: - Hands-on work with Claude Code - Live technical demonstrations - Discussion of agentic workflow integration - Opportunities to ask implementation-focused questions - Builder-to-builder exchange and no-pitch networking No individual workshop speakers are listed on the event page. The emphasis is instead on collaborative learning and direct technical engagement. ## Who should attend? The event is designed for people actively building with AI, including engineers, developers, founders, researchers and product builders. It will be particularly relevant if you are experimenting with AI agents, coding tools or workflow automation and want to compare approaches with other practitioners. AI Tinkerers Riyadh also brings together people working across multimodal and voice interfaces, RAG and knowledge systems, evaluations, observability and production AI infrastructure. Attendees are screened for hands-on AI work, helping conversations remain practical and technically useful. Applications are currently open. ## About the community AI Tinkerers Riyadh is the local chapter of a global, hands-on AI builder network spanning 252 cities and more than 122,000 members. Its meetups prioritise live code, real projects and candid lessons over vendor decks or general-purpose lectures, making this workshop a strong fit for builders who value substance and peer feedback.… Register for this event
