The six primitives of an AI agent.
Learn them once. Use them forever.
Every AI agent is made of six primitives — model, tool, memory, loop, spec, deploy. Learn them once, and every new framework becomes a 30-minute exercise instead of a month-long investment. The Primer is an 8-page handout plus a 10-day email course that teaches you the mental model that transfers across every stack.

The Six Primitives Handout
8-page polished PDF. Print, pin, photograph. CC-BY-SA — share with your team.
10-day email course
One opinionated email per day. Each teaches one primitive with code samples and a tiny exercise. Done in 10 minutes per day.
Starter repo + Agent Card
MIT-licensed reference implementation on GitHub. One pre-validated A2A Agent Card template you can adapt and fork.
The honest path forward
The Primer is real. Not a watered-down sample. You can build a working agent on just the free material — and many of you will.
When you want the polished pocket book, the 30-card Agent Card library, the 50-pattern production cookbook, and a community of practitioners shipping agents, the Toolkit is where most builders settle. €197, lifetime, 30-day refund. That's the workhorse tier.
We never push the upgrade in the email course. If the Primer is enough, it's enough. Pay only when paying actually saves you time.
