You Are AI-First Now: A Field Guide for People Who Got the Memo, Not the Manual

You got the email. “We’re AI-first now.” No training. No definition of what that means. No list of what to hand off or what to keep. Just a mandate, and an inbox that still needs answering.

If that’s your Tuesday, this book is for you. It’s a field guide for the person in the middle of the org chart: not a developer, not the one who gets to skip it, just handed a tool and told to figure it out.

It walks through exactly that, in order: what the AI-first mandate actually means, the setup step almost everyone skips, how to build a workflow that survives a real Tuesday instead of just a demo, how to automate the manual grind without losing your own judgment, and how to prove what you built actually worked when someone with a budget asks.

Written for people who use Word, Excel, and Outlook, not a terminal. No code required, and every term gets explained in plain English as it comes up. Most chapters include real, ready-to-use prompts built for Claude and Microsoft Copilot, so the habits travel to whatever tool you were actually handed.

Available on Kindle. Paperback coming soon.
