Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

You are already using AI at work.You are just not sure you are allowed to.There is a spreadsheet open on your screen that you would like some help with. You also half-remember a training module about an AI policy, a list of approved tools you could not name, and a classification label you have never really thought about. So you do what most people do. You use your own account, you say nothing, and you hope nobody asks.You are not unusual. In Microsoft and LinkedIn 2024 Work Trend Index research, 78 per cent of people using AI at work were bringing their own tools, and 52 per cent were reluctant to admit using it on their most important tasks. That unresolved feeling is not a character flaw. It is what happens when rules exist but nobody has translated them into the work you actually do.This field guide translates them. It is written for the person whose output is documents, spreadsheets and reports due on a schedule, and it starts where other AI books stop: with permission. Which system you are licensed to use. Which of your data may go near it. What you are expected to disclose, and to whom. And how to build a working record, so that when someone asks how a number got there, you have an answer.You will rebuild one real recurring deliverable inside your own organisation rules: classifying inputs before you touch a tool, making output checkable rather than merely fluent, and catching the confabulated citation before it leaves your desk. No prompt libraries. No promises about multiplying your output. The honest research on productivity is thinner and stranger than the hype suggests, and this book shows you what it actually says.It begins with forty minutes and one sheet of paper. Before any AI is involved, you build your Permission Card: the four documents that govern you, where to find them, what they allow, and who to ask when they do not say. It is the calmest thing you can do this week.You do not need to be faster than everyone else. You need to be the one who can show their working.
