3rd Space AI Circle · September 2026
Stop learning AI alone.
Five weeks. A small group. You leave with three to five AI workflows you actually use. Both in-person and online meetups.
But this isn't an AI course.
Thank God. There are already approximately seventeen billion AI courses on the internet. Nobody needs another one.
This is a social learning experience for marketers, founders, creators, salespeople, consultants — anyone with something to sell. For five weeks you learn by building things with Claude. You bring your own work, your own business, your own marketing problem, the brilliant idea you've been sitting on for six months. We work on that.
And you won't be doing it alone.
This is the part we're a little obsessed with. Learning something new is more fun when you're surrounded by interesting people. You'll see what other people are building. You'll steal their ideas. They'll steal yours. You'll show what's working and what's broken, and you'll ask the questions you assumed were stupid. They won't be.
So no, it isn't five weeks of staring at Zoom rectangles. There are cocktails, a padel evening, hands-on building, and a final demo night — because apparently we're still allowed to have fun while learning new technology.
What you'll walk away with
Working workflows, built by you, running on your own work.
Personal AI template library you keep adding to afterwards.
Sessions of peer feedback from other professionals, not a lecture.
An ongoing group that keeps going after the five weeks end.
You don’t have to build it from scratch. Someone already did.
Every cohort produces automations that run on real businesses. We write each one up as a card: what it replaced, how it runs stage by stage, where it breaks, and the actual skill file — ready to copy into your own setup and change the names to yours.
Members get the whole library. And the workflow you build in the five weeks goes in it, with your name on it.

How it runs
Hybrid — come in person or join online. Venue in Bucharest shared on registration.
Five weeks, week by week
Kickoff at A46
Meet the group over a glass of sparkling. See how everyone uses AI now and where it can actually save you time.
Workflow breakdowns
Three or four members show what they've built and what's still broken. Then the group improves it together.
Padel + Prosecco
No AI. Just people, a drink and a court in Herăstrău. Rackets provided.
Build and iterate
Bring your workflow back. Show what worked, show what failed, get feedback, make it better.
Demo night
Show what you built at SuperTree, with pizza and one final glass of Prosecco.
Sessions run in English and Romanian.
Your hosts
Eric Melchor
Texan, former marketing director, founder of 3rd Space Bucharest. He uses Claude to run pre- and post-production for the podcast, to design this website, and for a long list of other life hacks. The program is the shortcut he wishes he'd had.
Ana Toniuc
Fifteen years in marketing and advertising, now working in AI and digital transformation. She's built AI products, agents and automations across several industries, is building an education platform for kids, and teaches people and companies how to use AI in their work. Her philosophy: less theory, more building things you'll actually use.

Not ready for five weeks?
Or just come to the first night.
Fair enough. Come to the kickoff, meet the room, and decide after.
- The Week 1 session in full, 6:45–9:15pm.
- A glass of sparkling and the people you’d be spending five weeks with.
- An honest look at what the cohort actually builds — and whether it’s your kind of thing.
If you join, the €50 comes off whichever ticket you pick. So the first night costs you nothing. If it isn’t for you, no pitch, no follow-up.
17 passes. Last day to buy is Friday 11 September.
Come to the kickoff →The guarantee
Don't just learn AI. Use it. Attend three or more sessions and if you don't leave with at least two workflows you actually use, you get a full refund.
This is for you if
You use AI casually — a draft, a summary, the occasional chat — and you want it doing real work inside your job. You're a professional with a laptop and a couple of hours a week, not a developer.
It isn't for you if
You're already shipping AI in production. You'd be teaching the room, and you'd be bored by session two. Come to a Founders & Builders Night instead.
Here are some of the reasons people are joining.
“I'd like an AI agent to search the web for relevant initiatives, events, projects, and then automatically collect the information and add it directly to a database.”
— Manon, community manager
“Can Claude tell me what my competitors are charging… in real time?”
— Irina, B2B marketer
“Can Claude help me build my website and craft a digital marketing strategy?”
— Lema, HR
“Can Claude deal with my invoicing and mandatory activity reports?”
— Octavia, head of operations
