The periodic table of AI

Every AI tool is a combination of the same nineteen elements. The model is only one of them.

If you learn AI by brand names, you start over every quarter. If you know the building blocks, you recognise them in every new tool and see straight away what is missing.

Laboratory flasks from which coloured tiles rise into a periodic table

Everyone starts in the same place

ChatGPT behind an API, with the company logo on top.

After that, almost every company runs into the same walls, in the same order. The assistant invents a leave policy. An intern gets to see the director's salary. The bill keeps rising and nobody knows why an answer was wrong. Every wall calls for a different element from the table.

What you see in the presentation

First the table, then an example in eight steps.

Across, five families: what an element does. Down, four layers: how composed it is. Then you follow one company from API wrapper to an agent you can trust, with the element that solves each wall. Click on any part for an explanation.

The model is the easy part. What makes your own AI reliable is what you build around it.

The table is chapter 9 of our AI course.

One chapter a week: one concept, four angles to understand it and a fifteen-minute exercise. From what AI actually is to how to use it safely in your own work. The course is in Dutch; the first chapters are also available in English.
