Abstract

The bestselling author of an AI utilization book generously shares the practical knowledge he's gained from expanding his own business!

Despite labor shortages, the author, the president of a small company that handles the work of 10 people with just 3 employees plus an AI agent, explains how to effectively utilize AI.

Starting with the author's creation of a "one-person unicorn" company, he details how to treat the AI agent as a collaborator—a "AI employee"—with human employees. Furthermore, the author, a master of sales and presentations, explains how he teaches the AI his experience and how the AI agent functions as a support system for humans.

He argues that "prompts" used to get AI to work are "weapons that rot" when using AI, and that what's truly important is "aptitude," which he calls "context." He explains that anyone with experience possesses excellent "contextual assets." Through the author's real-world examples, readers can experience firsthand how to extract these contextual assets and achieve results.

For those who think, "Can a small company like ours really implement an AI agent?", or for those who have implemented AI but haven't seen the desired results, this book demonstrates that the benefits of AI can be gained regardless of company size. It is essential reading for anyone considering welcoming an AI agent as an "AI employee."
