Building with Claude,
rooted in Oregon.
We're engineers, designers, founders, students, and tinkerers exploring what Anthropic's Claude — and the broader AI ecosystem — can do. From Portland to Bend to the coast, we meet, we ship, we swap notes.
About
A small circle,
a growing signal.
Claude Oregon started as a Slack channel for folks obsessed with what large language models could actually do — not just demo. Today it's a friendly, technical community that swaps prompts, prototypes, war stories, and job leads.
We're deliberately Oregon-local. That means we lean on the wider PDX tech ecosystem, show up to each other's meetups, and treat "let's grab a coffee" as a first-class integration.
Events
Find us on the PDX Tech calendar.
Our meetups, hack nights, and cross-pollination sessions live on Luma alongside the rest of the Portland tech ecosystem. One calendar, everything happening.
Subscribe once, see every meetup, workshop, and demo night across Portland — including ours.

Introduce yourself in #intros, share what you're building, ask the dumb question. That's the whole ritual.
