Claude community Germany: meetups and workshops

Claude, Codex and other open-source AI agents have changed the way I work. Many people still see better chatbots. For me they are work tools for code, analysis, structuring, automation, research and communication, and for getting concrete projects done. Claude is currently the best AI assistant for my work. Anyone who does not use tools like this falls behind equally qualified people who do.

I work with Claude and agent workflows every day, because a leap in productivity is happening right now. Writing single prompts is the smallest part of it. The gain comes when Claude is built into real work processes, so that complex tasks get done faster, within the rules that apply, and with better results.

Today the agents cover the whole stack. Since April 2026 I have helped a client break up the monolithic application of an information platform with Claude and Codex, from the data imports and the database to the REST API and the website. The project has produced more than 300 REST API endpoints and more than 8,000 commits. Several sessions of Claude and Codex run in parallel on one repository, each in its own git worktree, and hooks block the commands that would touch production. Open-source AI agents and tools run next to them: Paperclip, an open-source control plane, holds the org chart and the issues of a company of AI agents, and a knowledge graph built from code and documentation is queried before an agent changes a file. The agents work under the same rules as the people: limits at the resource, a check before every tool call, and approvals that only a person gives.

Since June 2026 I have been a lecturer in the Claude Hacker House workshop series, together with Fayssal El Mofatiche and Christian Schulze. We show how Claude is used in practice: for code, analysis, automation and productive workflows in business and finance. The sessions are practical, and participants work with the tools in the room. My topics there are MCP servers, autonomous agents and virtual organizations. In June 2026 I put an OAuth gateway in front of the MCP server of Paperclip, and since then Claude on my phone reads and writes the issues of the client platform. The autonomous coding agents from that project are part of the sessions: how Claude and Codex share one repository, and which checks keep them away from production. Which roles and rules keep a company of AI agents on track is the question of my research on virtual organizations of autonomous agents.

The Frankfurt session that followed this post was on September 14, 2026. The next Frankfurt AI workshop is on October 23, 2026, at TechQuartier. More dates are on the Claude Hacker House page.
