⌖ Frankfurt · byte5 GmbH

Am 13. Oktober 2026 baut das Claude-Meetup Frankfurt bei byte5 live eine neue Fähigkeit für Claude – mit Talks, Engineering-Praxis und Networking. Stop Prompting, Start Engineering Unter dem Motto „Skill Forge“ geht dieses deutschsprachige Meetup über einzelne Prompts hinaus: Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, wie sich für Claude eine neue Fähigkeit systematisch entwickeln lässt. Teilnehmende erleben den Entstehungsprozess live und erhalten praxisnahe Einblicke in Prompt Engineering, KI-Workflows und die Entwicklung agentischer Systeme. Das Treffen richtet sich an Entwickler:innen, AI Builder, technisch interessierte Produktmenschen und alle, die Claude nicht nur nutzen, sondern besser verstehen und gezielt erweitern möchten. Ein konkretes Erfahrungsniveau wird nicht vorausgesetzt; besonders relevant ist das Programm jedoch für Menschen, die sich bereits mit künstlicher Intelligenz, AI-Anwendungen, Webentwicklung oder Automatisierung beschäftigen. Vorläufiger Ablauf - 17:30 Uhr: Ankommen und Check-in - 17:45 Uhr: Vortrag 1 – Thema wird noch bekannt gegeben - 19:00 Uhr: Pizzapause und Networking - 19:30 Uhr: Vortrag 2 – Thema wird noch bekannt gegeben - 21:00 Uhr: Networking und Ende Die Kombination aus Live-Building, Vorträgen und persönlichem Austausch macht das Format besonders praktisch. Neben den fachlichen Sessions bleibt ausreichend Zeit, Erfahrungen zu vergleichen, eigene Claude-Projekte zu diskutieren und Kontakte in der lokalen AI-Community zu knüpfen. Getränke, Snacks und Pizza sind vor Ort vorgesehen. Die konkreten Vortragsthemen und Speaker stehen derzeit noch nicht fest. Wer selbst etwas präsentieren möchte, kann über das Call-for-Speakers-Formular einen Vorschlag einreichen. Themen aus der Community Bei früheren Treffen ging es unter anderem um Prompting, KI-Workflows, das Open-Source Agentic OS der Community sowie Omadia. Einen Eindruck von bisherigen Inhalten vermitteln die veröffentlichten Vortragsfolien von byte5.… Register for this event
