From the AI Maker Residences at KOKO London

“There’s so many ideas that you generate and you have in your backlog … and today it expanded that tenfold … it opens up so many doors and you can just walk through them.”
Kesang Ball, Co-Founder, TrippinAI Maker Residence, KOKO London · via CHOOSETO
“Incredibly interesting, insightful … magical almost. … Nick’s ability to demystify it and make it seem normal and human was really, really refreshing.”
Sulaiman Prince, COO, RopesProAI Maker Residence, KOKO London · via CHOOSETO
“Everyone wants to get started and play with the new tools … but no one is doing it because it’s so overwhelming … to see this shortcut from ideation to something that looks real … we can just close that gap now.”
Victoria Stoyanova, CreativeMorningsAI Maker Residence, KOKO London · via CHOOSETO

Luma ratings cover every Light School event on Luma since 2024. 27 makers joined the October 2026 residence at KOKO. See Nick on CHOOSETO.

What You’ll Learn

How to work with AI first, then the full hands-on setup. You finish with something built.

Pick a Project That Matters

Choose a first build you actually care about, so you keep going after the video ends.

Exposure vs. Confidence

My framework for deciding where AI helps you most, and where to hold back.

Connect Your Tools

Hook Claude up to Notion, Canva, Drive and more, then turn workshop ideas into ads.

Scheduled Tasks

Set Claude to do repeat work on a timer, and see how to troubleshoot it when it breaks.

Build With Claude Code

Build a playable Pac-Man game, then change it with one follow-up prompt.

Plan Mode and Claude in Chrome

Scope custom software before you build it, and let Claude help with tasks in your browser.

“I think you guys need to check it out. Honestly, it’s something that’s going to take you 20 minutes when you know how to do it.”
Repeat Workshop Attendee
“I feel like I got a lot out of it. So I’m going to think about how I can optimise and streamline some of my personal tasks, but then also how I can apply that to my business as well.”
