Women in Claude: Why Women Are Building with Claude — Not Waiting to Be Invited

When I started using Claude, something happened that I was not expecting.

I stopped feeling behind.

Not because I had suddenly become technical. Not because I had figured everything out. But because I had found a tool that did not make me feel small.

Claude did not talk down to me. It did not assume I needed to become an engineer first. It worked with what I already knew — my experience, my judgment, my way of thinking — and helped me build from there.

That feeling stayed with me.

And when I looked around, I noticed that many of the women I knew were not feeling it.

They were still watching from the sidelines. Still waiting to feel "ready enough." Still reading about AI like it was someone else's territory.

That is why Women in Claude exists.

What Women in Claude is

Women in Claude is a peer-led community for women using Claude to build, create, experiment, and bring each other along.

It was co-founded by me and Adora, and it was built on one simple belief: AI should not make capable people feel small.

The community is for women who:

• Are already using Claude but want to go deeper
• Are new to Claude and want to learn alongside others
• Are building AI workflows, businesses, or creative systems with Claude
• Want to be part of a space where learning is shared, not competitive

It is not a course. It is not a certification programme. It is a space where women learn by doing — together.

The voice note that started it

When I recorded the founding voice note for Women in Claude, I talked about what Claude had done for me.

I described it as a thinking partner. Something that made me feel like I was not behind anymore. Something that helped me figure out what I actually wanted to build, instead of spending hours going in circles on my own.

I said it doesn't make me feel small. And that was the truest thing I could say.

Because so much of the AI conversation does make people feel small. The jargon. The assumption that you need to be technical to participate. The idea that AI is for engineers and developers and people who understand how it works on the inside.

Women in Claude is a counter to that.

What happens in the community

Monthly sessions. Women in Claude meets monthly. Sessions include live builds, workflow teardowns, Q&As, and peer sharing. Every session is practical. Every session ends with something real.

Real stories. The Women in Claude Stories page features real builds from real women. Not polished case studies — actual workflows built by women in their actual jobs. You can see how they did it, what they built, and what changed.

Claudettes. We call our members Claudettes. They are the women building with Claude across Singapore, Malaysia, and beyond. They are in HR, finance, legal, education, consulting, content, and more.

Builds, not badges. The culture in Women in Claude is about making things, not collecting credentials. When you come to a session, you leave with something you built.

Who the community is for

Women in Claude is open to any woman who wants to build, learn, and grow with Claude.

You do not need to be technical. You do not need to have built anything before. You do not need to know what an AI agent is.

You just need to be curious, and you need to be willing to start.

Some members come in as complete beginners. Some come in having already built a few workflows and want to go further. What they share is a willingness to try, to share, and to help each other.

Why this matters now

AI is changing fast. Everyone knows this.

But the conversation about AI is still dominated by a narrow group of voices. Mostly technical. Mostly male. Mostly people who got a head start because they were already in the right circles.

Women in Claude is not about waiting for an invitation.

It is about building now, with the tools that exist now, alongside people who are doing the same.

Every woman who builds a working Claude Cowork workflow is proof that AI does not belong only to engineers.

Every Claudette who shares her build is making the path clearer for the next woman who shows up.

That is the point.
