You don't need a senior developer on staff to unlock the full potential of your Blackbaud data! In his session, Matt will explore how curious nonprofit professionals can use a tool like Claude Code, Anthropic's AI-powered coding agent, to safely connect to the Blackbaud SKY API, extract meaningful data, and build polished output that helps board members and donors.

Matt will step through a complete real-world example from start to finish: defining the idea (answering board directed questions), writing a spec, implementing working code, and deploying it to a secure, live hosted environment.

We'll build it with conversational AI rather than traditional coding expertise. Beyond the build, we'll cover the critical guardrails that make this approach safe for production use: API key management, data access scoping, output validation, and establishing a repeatable Standard Operating Procedure your team can follow.

You'll leave this session with a clear, documented playbook for turning your Blackbaud data into actionable outputs. The era of agentic development is putting more tools into the hands of nonprofit leaders willing to explore their data. Matt will show you how to do it safely.
