Chat AI - Claude - Chat and coffee

A low-key meetup for people using Claude and other AI tools, held at HYGGE on Woodhouse Lane. The format is simple: turn up, grab a coffee, and talk about what you're actually doing with AI. That might be personal projects, things you've picked up outside work, tools you've tried, or questions you haven't found good answers to yet.

The organiser, who goes by haueyn on Meetup, has said they'll be sat at the big table. There's no agenda, no slides, no structured talk. The idea is that people with hands-on experience of Claude, Codex and related tools can compare notes in a relaxed setting. If you've been vibe-coding something on a Sunday afternoon and want to talk it through with someone, this is the kind of room for that.

The group is called Leeds Claude Codex Ai Vibe Code Chat and Learn, which covers the territory fairly well. It's aimed at people who are experimenting with AI tools in their own time, whether that's building side projects, automating workflows, or just trying to understand what these tools can and can't do. Leeds has a growing number of people doing exactly this, and meetups like this one give them somewhere to meet without a conference badge or a sponsor deck in sight.

The session runs from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM BST on Sunday 16 August 2026. HYGGE is at 42–44 Woodhouse Lane, Leeds LS2 8LX, a short walk from the university and city centre.

Why attend

If you've been using Claude or similar tools and want to hear how other people are actually applying them day to day, this is a practical hour. No pitch, no agenda — just people comparing what's worked and what hasn't.

It's also a chance to meet others in Leeds who are experimenting with AI outside of a work context. The group is small and informal, which means you'll likely have a real conversation rather than standing around waiting for a talk to start.
