About the Publication

Core Primitives is an interactive monthly publication about all things AI. It is for people and teams who want real control, not more noise.

The premise is simple: technology can now be boiled down to a core set of foundational principles. Those principles can be reshaped, reordered, and applied to give incredible leverage to individuals and organizations alike.

Each issue is built to be used, not just read. You leave with models, language, and moves you can put to work the same week.

What You Get When You Sign Up

  • Each monthly issue delivered as an interactive reading experience
  • Core articles that take on a meaty, real-world challenge
  • Foundational AI principles you can reshape and apply immediately
  • Exercises and prompts designed for solo study or team discussion
  • A shared vocabulary your whole organization can grow into

Why It's Exceptional

Interactive articles

Not long essays you skim once. Pieces you click through, rearrange, and put to the test against your own work.

Core articles with real stakes

Each issue includes a core article that takes on a meaty challenge. For example: rebuilding a customer success stack like Zendesk, fit to your exact needs, without the bloat. The point is not a tutorial for its own sake. It is showing that software this consequential is now fully in your control.

Principles you can reorder

Technology reduced to a core set of foundations. Then we show how to reshape and apply them for real control.

No technical barrier

No developer background, no IT tickets, no stack to configure. Open the issue and start.

Great for Teams

Most AI education assumes a specialist in the room. Core Primitives is built so product, ops, leadership, and curious generalists can learn together, without a shared engineering background.

Team signups unlock a format meant for discussion: shared frames, prompts you can run in a standup or offsite, and a common set of primitives your org can keep reusing as tools change.

No onboarding project. No IT dependency. Just open the issue and get to work.

Founder & Editor-in-Chief

Issue #1 is the start of a publication I wish existed already: practical, interactive, and honest about what actually transfers when the tools keep moving. I hope you'll join us in November.
