Meetups · workshops · hackathons · and a nationwide network for anyone creating with AI — no coding required
We're the home for everyone building with Claude across New Zealand — from Auckland to Wellington and everywhere between. Developers, designers, founders, students, hobbyists, and the plain curious: whether you ship AI into production every day or you've never written a line of code, there's a place for you here.
We run local events, share what we're learning, and connect Kiwi builders with each other and with the Claude team.
👉 Everything starts at claudecommunity.co.nz
