A practical, non-technical guide for business leaders, entrepreneurs, and curious minds.

"Agents are (…) bringing about the biggest revolution in computing since we went from typing commands to tapping on icons." — Bill Gates

"AI agents will become the primary way we interact with computers in the future.” — Satya Nadella

"The age of agentic AI is here." — Jensen Huang

AI Agents—like Jarvis in Iron Man or Samantha in Her—are revolutionizing business and society. These intelligent systems can execute actions, learn from experience, and automate workflows with minimal supervision. Yet, behind the excitement lies a crucial gap between promise and reality.

This book provides a clear, jargon-free roadmap to harnessing agentic AI for real-world impact. Drawing from hands-on implementation across global enterprises and startups, the authors reveal:

 • How to **identify high-value agentic opportunities** and build AI-driven solutions
 • The secrets behind **successful AI transformations**—cutting costs by 25%+ and boosting customer satisfaction by 40%
 • New business models in the **Agent Economy**—from automation to AI-powered startups
 • How to **avoid common AI pitfalls**—from integration challenges to user adoption
 • The **mindset & skills needed** to lead in an AI-powered world
 

AI agents create "compounding intelligence advantages"—the more they’re used, the smarter they become. Those who master AI agents today will define the next business era. Will you lead this transformation or be left behind? This book challenges you to shape AI’s future with purpose and integrity.
