Workshop studio for AI coding trainers

What Kiln does
Two Claude-backed flows that match how trainers actually prepare and run workshops — not a generic chatbot wrapper.
Lab reviewer
Paste an exercise brief and a learner submission. Get coach-style feedback the trainer can paste back — what works, what to fix, pass or revise.
Built for the floor
Concrete exercises over buzzwords. Aimed at professional developers in corporate AI coding days, bootcamp labs, and guest lectures.
How it works
Three steps from client email to a workshop you can run tomorrow.
Capture the brief
Topic, hours, audience, and any constraints (stack, compliance, language). The same notes you’d send a co-facilitator.
Generate the pack
Claude drafts the agenda, labs with starter prompts and success criteria, facilitator notes, and optional homework — Markdown you can edit.
Coach during the lab
When learners submit code, Kiln reviews against the exercise brief and returns feedback the trainer can share — faster than reviewing every paste alone.
Who it’s for
People who already run or want to run hands-on AI coding sessions.
Independent AI trainers
Independent trainers and small training teams packing corporate half-days and multi-day intensives without a content team.
Small training consultancies
Practices that need consistent workshop quality across facilitators and client contexts.
Internal enablement leads
Engineering or L&D folks designing AI-assisted coding days for their own org.
Educators & guest lecturers
University or bootcamp instructors who want practical labs, not slide decks of API screenshots.
