My New Book 'AI Agents: Multiplying Human Potential by Adopting Generative AI'

I'm excited to announce my new book, "AI Agents: Multiplying Human Potential by Adopting Gen AI"!

My New Book 'AI Agents: Multiplying Human Potential by Adopting Generative AI'

After anout a year of work, it's finally here - a practical guide to help organizations create workplaces where human potential is amplified through collaboration with AI. You can get the book here.

About the book in 5 questions

Q1: Why did you write this book?

I've been working with many organizations on their Gen AI journeys, and I've seen two big problems that I wanted to help solve.

First, most companies are struggling with how to actually get going with adopting Gen AI. They either get stuck being too cautious (what I call the "wet blanket" phase) or they give people access to tools but don't help them learn how to use them well.

Second, I've seen too many organizations focus purely on automation - just trying to replace human work. I wanted to show why augmentation is the better path and provide a practical roadmap for getting there - giving your team super powers instead of replacing them.

Q2: Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone who wants to help shape how their organization adopts Gen AI:

  • Leaders interested in adopting Gen AI
  • People responsible for implementing Gen AI
  • Teams looking to transform how they work with Gen AI
  • Anyone wanting to understand how Gen AI will change their job

Q3: What makes this book different?

While many books talk about what Gen AI can do, this book focuses on how to adopt Gen AI. It's based on real experience helping organizations drive change, not just theory.

The book provides:

  • A clear framework that takes you from initial access towards fully integrated human-AI teams
  • Practical guidance for both leaders orchestrating transformation and teams driving adoption
  • Concrete examples, templates, exercises, and frameworks you can apply immediately

Q4: Why focus on "AI Agents" when most companies are still using basic chatbots?

We're rapidly moving from simple AI chatbots to true AI coworkers that can handle complex tasks independently. This isn't some far-future vision - it's happening now. Organizations that prepare for this shift today will have a massive advantage tomorrow.

In the book, I explain how we're evolving from interacting with AI through prompts to working with AI agents that can take on entire workflows. The capabilities you build today with chatbots form the foundation for working with agents tomorrow.

Q5: If I'm interested, what should I do next?

It depends on who you are:

For everyone: Get the book! It's available on Amazon in both print and Kindle formats.

For those driving Gen AI adoption: Consider joining our Gen AI Lead course, where we go deeper into the frameworks in the book and provide hands-on guidance for leading transformation.

For reviewers: If you read the book, I'd greatly appreciate a review. Your feedback helps others find it.

For publishers: I've only published in English so far and am looking to publish in other languages. Please reach out if you're interested.
