The digital transformation consultancy announced it will host a new series of Claude Code Labs in partnership with Anthropic, the AI safety and research company behind the Claude family of large language models. The workshops are designed to move beyond demos and theory, giving enterprise architects and engineers direct, practical exposure to Claude Code—Anthropic’s AI-powered coding and agentic development tooling.
The first labs are scheduled for Frisco, Texas, on February 23, 2026, followed by London on March 17, with additional sessions planned for Chicago and other global markets. All sessions are invite-only, signaling a clear focus on senior technical decision-makers rather than broad developer evangelism.
From AI Curiosity to AI Capability
Most enterprises are already experimenting with generative AI. Far fewer feel confident deploying it responsibly across real-world software development lifecycles.
That’s where Bounteous sees opportunity.
The Claude Code Lab is positioned as a hands-on, implementation-focused workshop aimed at architects, engineers, and technology leaders who are ready to move from experimentation to execution. Rather than abstract discussions about AI potential, attendees will work directly with Claude Code on their own machines, building functioning prototypes that mirror real enterprise constraints.
According to Bounteous, the goal is not just to teach tooling, but to accelerate organizational readiness for enterprise-grade, ethical AI adoption—a theme that has become increasingly important as AI systems grow more autonomous and influential.
Why Claude, and Why Now?
Anthropic’s Claude models have carved out a distinct reputation in the AI market, emphasizing safety, controllability, and alignment alongside performance. As enterprises become more cautious about deploying AI agents that can write, modify, or deploy code, those attributes matter.
Claude Code extends that philosophy into the software development process itself, supporting agentic workflows that can assist with coding, reasoning, and lifecycle automation—while still keeping humans firmly in control.
For enterprises evaluating alternatives like GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q, or emerging open-source coding agents, Claude Code represents a different bet: one that prioritizes predictable behavior and governance as much as speed.
Bounteous’ partnership with Anthropic puts it in a growing cohort of consultancies positioning themselves as AI translators—firms that help enterprises operationalize cutting-edge models without inheriting unnecessary risk.
What Happens Inside a Claude Code Lab
Unlike many AI workshops that rely on prebuilt demos, the Claude Code Lab is structured around direct experimentation.
Attendees will:
- Work hands-on with Claude Code in real development environments
- Build functional prototypes locally, not in vendor-controlled sandboxes
- Explore how agentic coding workflows fit into existing SDLC practices
- Learn best practices for integrating Claude Code into enterprise stacks
- Engage directly with Anthropic engineers and Bounteous AI specialists
The emphasis on local builds is notable. It reflects a growing enterprise preference for hands-on validation over polished demos—especially as concerns around IP, data exposure, and compliance continue to shape AI adoption decisions.
Part of a Bigger AI Strategy
The Claude Code Lab isn’t a standalone experiment. It fits into Bounteous’ broader push around Agentic Business Reinvention and AI-Enhanced Experience Transformation—two solution areas focused on embedding AI across operations, customer experiences, and internal workflows.
After years of applied work in machine learning, generative AI, and agentic systems, Bounteous is increasingly framing AI not as a feature, but as an organizational capability. Education, in this context, becomes a strategic lever.
By partnering directly with Anthropic, Bounteous also gains early visibility into Claude’s evolving agentic frameworks—insight it can feed back into client engagements across industries.
A Different Kind of AI Enablement
What stands out is the intentional exclusivity of the program. These aren’t mass-market training sessions or certification mills. They’re targeted labs designed for teams already wrestling with real-world AI questions: How do we integrate agentic coding safely? Where does human oversight belong? How do we avoid brittle automation?
That focus reflects a broader shift in enterprise AI conversations. The hype phase is fading. What’s replacing it is a demand for practical fluency—understanding not just what AI can do, but how it behaves inside complex systems.
Martin Young, EVP of Data & AI at Bounteous, summed it up succinctly: the goal is to help organizations adopt AI in ways that are “impactful, ethical, and enterprise-ready.” That framing mirrors a growing realization across the industry: AI capability without governance is a liability, not an advantage.
Market Implications
The Bounteous–Anthropic collaboration also highlights an emerging competitive dynamic in enterprise AI services.
As model providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google deepen their enterprise offerings, partnerships with consultancies become critical distribution and enablement channels. At the same time, consultancies that can offer direct access to model creators gain credibility in a crowded AI advisory market.
For enterprises evaluating how—and with whom—to build AI-driven development workflows, that proximity matters.
Claude Code Labs may not scale to thousands of developers overnight, but they could influence the architectural decisions of the people who matter most: the ones defining standards, guardrails, and long-term platforms.
The Bottom Line
Bounteous isn’t just teaching Claude Code. It’s making a statement about where enterprise AI adoption is headed.
The next phase won’t be won by companies that merely experiment with AI tools, but by those that understand how to integrate agentic systems responsibly into their software lifecycles. Hands-on, model-specific education—delivered with direct vendor collaboration—may become one of the most effective ways to get there.
For enterprises serious about AI beyond the slide deck, that could make the Claude Code Lab less of a workshop—and more of a preview of how AI development will actually work.
