Build & Tell - Chicago (Claude Code Meetup)
Here's what typically happens:
​The format (we rotate):
​Go-around — everyone shares what they're working on, what broke, what surprised them
​Demo or deep dive — breakout into small groups of 2-3 people to share your actual setup: workflows, prompts, Claude projects, MCP configs, whatever's live
​Problem round — folks share with the group one AI problem they're stuck on. The group riffs.
​Some sessions lean more hands-on. Some have a theme. It depends who shows up.
​Who comes:
​A mix of operators figuring out AI for their business + a few more technical folks who push what's possible and show it in real time. The best conversations happen across that gap.
​You'll fit in if:
​You're actively building, automating, or integrating AI into how you work
​You're comfortable sharing unfinished things
​You're more indie hacker than hype machine
​You want to learn from other people's setups — mistakes included
​This isn't for you if:
​You're here to pitch
​You're brand new and looking for a 101
​You need polish — rough is welcome here
