**tl;dr** Share useful tips, tricks, and tech for smooth travels in China. **Logistics** * Where: 7:30–8:50 PM, Bugis NLB Library, Programme Room 1 (basement) * After: Discussion continues until last train/bus at the Bras Basah Building food court next door * Optional: Join our Telegram for reminders: [https://t.me/+7TNAbjU60PVjOTE1](https://t.me/+7TNAbjU60PVjOTE1) (very low volume — used only for reminders and online meetup links) **More** Looks like everyone's heading to China these days. Let's connect with friends who travel there regularly. We'll ask them to share travel hacks, tips, and useful technologies (VPNs, e-payments, AI apps) they rely on while travelling in China. Come along to ask questions or share your own tips and stories. **Agenda** * 7:30–7:40: Quick intro — share your name (or initials/nickname) and your travel experience in China. No worries if you haven't been yet, just tell us where you'd like to go. * 7:40–8:00: Share one photo from your China travels and tell us about it. Could be anything — an interesting person you met, a dish, a gadget, scenery, a shop, etc. * 8:00–8:10: Which AI apps are good for looking up information while in China? Rebekah will compare her experience using DeepSeek vs. ChatGPT for trip planning. * 8:10–8:25: Discuss other China travel tech hacks — VPNs, eSIMs, payment apps. * 8:25–8:50: Your questions about traveling in China. At 8:50, we'll move to the Bras Basah food court to keep chatting about other things — for example, current trends in China (great conversation starters when meeting locals) and what "China-maxxing" actually means. What are the best cities beyond the usual tourist spots? Where can you connect with everyday locals in China? Note: We will no longer livestream these meetups, but we'll continue running separate online sessions.

Join us for an exclusive in-person hands-on workshop on 24 June in in Singapore to elevate your software development practice using Agentic Spec Coding with Claude Code. ### **What is this Workshop?** This is a **5-hour, hands-on workshop** on **Spec Coding** and **Agentic Engineering** using **Claude Code** — held in-person in Singapore's CBD on **24 June 2025, 1pm–6pm**. If you've been experimenting with AI coding tools, vibe coding, or copy-pasting prompts into ChatGPT or Claude — and wondering why your projects break the moment you try to scale — this workshop is built for you. You'll learn the exact methodology that separates developers who build reliable, AI-powered software from those stuck in an endless loop of fixing hallucinated code. **Seats are strictly limited to 20 participants.** ### **What is Spec Coding?** Spec Coding is a structured, specification-driven approach to AI-assisted software development. Instead of casually prompting an AI and hoping for the best (vibe coding), you write clear **functional blueprints** that guide Claude Code — or any AI coding agent — to produce consistent, scalable, and maintainable output. Spec Coding is the foundation of **Agentic Engineering**: directing teams of automated AI agents to write, test, and fix code as a coordinated pipeline — not as a one-shot prompt. This workshop teaches you both. ### **What you'll learn (workshop Agenda)** **1\. Moving Beyond Random "Vibe Coding"** Understand why copy-pasting prompts fails at scale and what separates vibe coding from a repeatable engineering process. You'll leave with a mental model that changes how you interact with AI development tools forever. **2\. Writing Clear App Blueprints** Master the art of writing functional specifications — structured documents that tell Claude Code exactly what to build, how to handle edge cases, and what the expected outputs are. This is the core skill that unlocks reliable AI-generated code. **3\. Building Your Live Portfolio Website** Apply spec coding in real time to deploy a personal portfolio website. You will write the spec, run it through Claude Code, iterate, and publish — all within the session. **4\. Building a Smart Mini\-CRM App** Level up by tackling complex application state and data persistence. You'll build a functional mini-CRM app, confronting the exact challenges that trip up most AI-assisted development projects — and solving them systematically. **5\. Working with AI Developer Teams** Go beyond single-agent prompting. Learn how to direct multiple automated AI agents to write different parts of your codebase in parallel — the way professional agentic engineers work. **6\. Running Test\-Driven AI Pipelines** Learn agentic engineering techniques to automatically test, identify bugs, and trigger fix cycles — without manual intervention. This is how you ship software that actually works. ### **Who should attend?** This workshop is designed for: * **Startup founders** who want to ship products faster without a large engineering team * **Seasoned developers** looking to multiply their output using AI coding agents * **Software engineering leaders** exploring agentic workflows and AI-native development * **Product managers** who want to build and prototype without being blocked by developers * **Students and early-career technologists** who want to be AI-native engineers from day one **No advanced coding background required** — but participants should come prepared to build. All participants are expected to have an active **Claude Code subscription**. ### **Instructor: Santosh Rout** **Santosh Rout** is the founder of [navan.ai](https://navan.ai/ "https://navan.ai") and Saaragh, with over **25 years of experience** in the IT and AI industry. He is the creator of **[sam.navan.ai](https://sam.navan.ai/ "https://sam.navan.ai")** — a leading Agentic Spec Coding platform — and has helped countless founders and engineering teams bridge the gap between complex product ideas and working, scalable software. Santosh's expertise sits at the intersection of **agentic workflows**, **specification-driven development**, and **production AI systems**. He has built multiple successful AI products and brings hard-won, practitioner-level knowledge to every session. ### **What past participants have built?** After attending navan.ai's spec coding and agentic engineering workshops, participants have gone on to build: * **A Peer-to-Peer Delivery Platform** — allowing travellers to list journeys and get paid to carry parcels along their route * **An EdTech Platform for Extra-Curricular Tracking** — helping students record and measure the impact of volunteering and extracurricular activities * **An AI-Powered CCTV Planning Tool** — where users upload floor plans and the system automatically suggests optimal camera placements and generates real-time quotes These are not toy projects. These are production-grade apps built by non-engineers using spec coding. ### **What a past participant said** *"Thank you for taking the time to conduct the session on Agentic Spec Coding. The discussion gave me a much better understanding of the concepts and practical approach involved. I especially found the insights very helpful. I look forward to applying what I learned and continuing to improve my skills in this area."* — **Anitha P**, Virtual Participant. **View snapshots of our previous workshops, bootcamps, and hackathons: [https://asca.navan.ai/gallery/](https://asca.navan.ai/gallery/ "https://asca.navan.ai/gallery/")** ### **Event details** **Date:** Wednesday, 24 June 2025 **Time:** 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM SGT **Format:** In-person, hands-on workshop **Location:** **CBD / Central Business District, Singapore *(exact venue will be shared with registered participants in a few days)*** **Seats:** Limited to 20 participants **Prerequisite:** Active Claude Code subscription **Fee:** SGD 200 (20% discount available for group registrations of 4 or more together) **Organiser:** [Navan.ai](https://navan.ai/ "https://navan.ai") ### **Register here: [https://luma.com/ly7pzcdr](https://luma.com/ly7pzcdr)** ### **Frequently asked questions** **Do I need to be a developer to attend?** Not necessarily. The workshop is designed for founders, PMs, and builders — not just developers. A basic comfort with technology helps, but the methodology is accessible to anyone willing to engage actively. **What do I need to bring?** Your laptop and an active Claude Code subscription. Come ready to build. **Why is this better than just watching YouTube tutorials on Claude Code?** Tutorials show you what's possible. This workshop gives you a repeatable system — spec coding methodology — that you can apply to any project, of any complexity, without breaking things the moment requirements change. **What makes spec coding different from vibe coding?** Vibe coding is ad-hoc: you describe what you want loosely and hope the AI figures it out. Spec coding is structured: you write a functional blueprint that the AI executes deterministically. The output is modular, maintainable, and won't collapse when you need to iterate. **Is this workshop specific to Claude Code?** The hands-on work uses Claude Code, and participants will need a Claude Code subscription. However, the spec coding methodology taught is platform-agnostic — it applies to any AI coding agent. *Organised by [navan.ai](https://navan.ai/ "https://navan.ai") — the agentic spec coding platform powering the next generation of AI-native builders.* *Got questions?

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
