Shipping Your Weekend Side Project with Claude
Your best side project idea is stuck in your notes app. Let's ship it.
Most of us have that idea — the tool we wish existed, the workflow we'd automate if we only knew how. This workshop is where it stops being hypothetical.
Join Megha Torpunuri for a hands-on session where you'll build a real, working AI-powered email analyzer using Claude Desktop and Cowork. Connect your Gmail, write a prompt, and walk away with something that actually tells you what needs your attention, what you're dropping, and how you really spend your time in your inbox.
But the email agent is just the starting point. Megha will share the product brainstorming frameworks, debugging tips, and builder mindset you need to take any side project from notes app to the internet — including a preview of Claude Code for turning your weekend idea into a functional web app.
A note on data: You'll be connecting real data during this workshop — granting Claude access to your actual inbox. Come with an account you're comfortable using in a group setting.
