I've been to a lot of conferences and I will say, hands down, this is the best one available right now. The structure, the setting, the people, the trainers. The whole event was incredible.

one day.

No hotel. No travel week. Come in the morning, build all day, and leave in the afternoon with an entire team in your back pocket: a marketer, a bookkeeper, an assistant and a builder, all running in your Claude account.

Why this exists

Big companies have AI teams. You have Tuesday night.

The enterprise world is spending millions figuring out AI. The flower shop has the owner, after close, trying to answer emails and post something before bed. This workshop gives that owner the same leverage, in one day, in plain English.

01

Your work, not a demo

Bring your price list, your menu, the emails you write ten times a week. Everything we build uses your real business, so it works Monday morning.

02

No code. No jargon.

If you can write a text message, you can do this. We start with setup and go step by step, with help at every table.

03

You keep everything

Every assistant, template and tool you build lives in your Claude account. You leave with it running, not a binder of notes.

What you'll build

Pick your business. See your day.

Same workshop, your use cases. Tap the one closest to you.

    Two ways to learn

    In the room, or on the call.

    The flagship is a full day in person, once a month, at a hotel worth getting dressed for. The online series covers one skill at a time for teams who can't get away.

    A full day. Four builds. Fed the whole way.

    Sample schedule. The final run of show goes to registrants the week before.

    Doors, breakfast and setup help

    Hot breakfast and coffee while our team gets every laptop signed in, the desktop app installed and your first project ready. Nobody starts behind.

    Breakfast

    Welcome: what Claude can actually do for a small business

    Gray opens with live demos built for owners, not engineers. What Claude is great at, where it falls short, and how to keep your customer data safe.

    Kickoff

    Build 1: Your Business Brain

    Teach Claude your business once. Upload your prices, menu, policies, FAQs and best emails into a Project so every answer sounds like you and knows your shop.

    Build

    Coffee break

    Refill, stretch, and compare notes with the table next to you.

    Break

    Build 2: The Marketing Engine

    A month of social posts, an email newsletter, a promo calendar and review replies, written in your voice in one sitting. Then the repeatable process to do it again in minutes.

    Build

    Lunch

    A real lunch with your table. Some of the best ideas of the day happen right here.

    Lunch

    Build 3: The Back Office on Autopilot

    Quotes and estimates, invoices and follow ups, employee SOPs, schedules and the spreadsheet you've been avoiding. Claude reads it, cleans it and tells you what it means.

    Build

    Afternoon snacks

    Sweet, salty, caffeinated. Whatever gets you through the last two builds.

    Snacks

    Build 4: Make Your Own Tool

    No code. Build a real working tool for your business, like a quote calculator, an order form, a booking checklist or a simple dashboard, and share it with your team.

    Build

    Your Business, Live

    Open floor. Bring the problem that's been bugging you and we solve it together, plus a few volunteers show what they built today.

    Open floor

    Wrap: your 30 day plan

    Pick the three things you'll put to work first and leave with a simple plan to roll Claude out to your team.

    Wrap

    Happy hour and networking

    Two hours, drinks and bites, with a room full of owners and operators who just spent the day building. Bring cards. You'll want them.

    What people said walking out.

    Unscripted, recorded on the floor at the end of Gray's last hands-on Claude workshop. Owners, operators, marketers and back office leaders, at every skill level.

    Hear it from the people who were in the room.

    Unscripted interviews recorded at the end of day two in Atlanta. Owners, operators, marketers and controllers, most of whom had never built anything before.

    It was one of the most unique events I've ever been to, and the content was at a higher level than I've ever experienced. It gave me a lot of the confidence I needed to dive into the tools and make my own solutions.

    Joe B.Chief Marketing Officer

    I've learned more in 24 hours than I have in the last year that I've been playing with AI.

    Lisa G.22 years in the business, attendee and presenter

    Not having that much experience with Claude, I was a little concerned about my skill level, and was really excited about the tools we were able to build.

    Kate R.Director

    The most valuable thing was being able to actively work with the AI, building together and implementing what was being taught, rather than just listening to a lecture.

    Preston G.Regional Performance Manager

    Actively building these things out opened my mind to what I can build myself. For my inventory team, for some of the accounting team, I can already see avenues where AI can help our efficiency.

    Rudy O.Owner and CEO

    I think I underestimated how comprehensive this is. If you're just starting or if you're really advanced, there's something here for everybody.

    Tommy R.Operations Director

    Very, very energizing. My head is swimming with ideas on what we can do with all this.

    Paul S.VP of Marketing

    We've already started implementing some of those ideas in our workflows. The greatest takeaway is having that community to collaborate with when you run into a problem.

    Brett L.Operations Controller, accounting and data

    If you think AI is beyond your skill level, just give it a shot. You'd be amazed at how intuitive these tools are. If you're not leveraging AI, you're going to get left behind pretty quickly.

    Joe B.Chief Marketing Officer

    A ton of learning, and a lot of knowledge to take back and work on the projects we're on. We might sign up and come back again.

    Brittany O.Director of Operational Tools

    I learned a lot that I can take home and implement right away.

    Kyle M.Marketing

    You're going to leave a different person, with the tech stack you think is possible.

    GavinAI Engineer

    I came in knowing quite a bit about AI, but they opened me up to a bunch of tools I could go back and show my bosses.

    Gray Scott

    Marketer, technologist, builder. Founder of The Digerati Group.

    Gray has spent more than 15 years in marketing and technology leadership, on the operator side running marketing for multi-location businesses and on the vendor side building the software they run on.

    He founded The Digerati Group in 2012 to do AI consulting, SEO, analytics and web builds for businesses of every size. He co-founded PromptGraph.ai, a live platform that measures how businesses show up in AI search. And he created Claude for Dealers, a two-day hands-on Claude workshop that sold out its first room.

    I've watched big companies spend a fortune on AI while the owner down the street is still writing every email by hand. That's backwards. Small businesses have the most to gain, and they can move faster than anybody. This day is built for them.

    Questions

    Straight answers.

    Still deciding?

    Text or email Gray directly. Text anytime. 312.802.8687 Gray@PromptGraph.ai
    Do I need to be technical?

    No. If you can send an email and write a text, you can do everything we cover. We start with setup and go step by step, and there are builders at every table to help.

    What do I need before I arrive?

    A laptop (Mac or PC) and charger, a Claude Pro plan or higher, and the Claude desktop app installed. Free accounts can't handle the builds. If you get stuck on setup, come at 7:30 and we'll sort it out over breakfast.

    Is this only for Chicago businesses?

    The in-person day is in downtown Chicago, and anyone is welcome to fly in. If you can't travel, the online series covers the same skills one topic at a time.

    What if I'm already using ChatGPT or another AI tool?

    Great, you'll move faster. Everything you've learned about writing good prompts carries over. You'll see where Claude is especially strong for business work like long documents, your own files, writing in your voice and building simple tools.

    Is my business data safe?

    We cover exactly what to share, what not to share, and the settings to check. You can also use sample data for any build you're not comfortable doing with real numbers.

    Can I bring my team?

    Yes, and we recommend it. Groups of 2 or more get additional savings. Text Gray at 312.802.8687 to set it up.

    Which hotel is it at?

    Each month is hosted at one of Chicago's great hotels, rooms like The Peninsula, Four Seasons, The Ritz-Carlton and Waldorf Astoria. The December venue is confirmed to registrants by email.

    Is this affiliated with Anthropic?

    No. Learn Claude for Business is an independent workshop produced by Gray Scott and The Digerati Group. Claude is a product of Anthropic.

    The flower shop deserves the same tools as the Fortune 500.

    Thursday, December 10 in downtown Chicago. $1,499 intro price, breakfast through happy hour.
