My Tool Shed. Context: Software testing × AI

I test software
& explain AI.

I'm Jochim Van Dorpe — twenty-plus years in software quality, now deep in the AI trenches. This is my tool shed: a living radar of AI tools, my prompts & agent skills, shownotes from my talks… and the occasional clay version of me.

The AI Radar. Context: My AI routine

A living map of
my AI world.

People keep asking where I get my AI information. The honest answer is a spreadsheet — podcasts, newsletters, tools, courses, benchmarks — that this site turns into an explorable radar. No hype, just what I actually use.
