It’s 10:30 on a typical Monday morning. You have a dozen unread emails, three back-to-back meetings, and a strategic report due by EOD. In short, modern corporate life feels relentless—a dizzying blend of digital overload and never-ending to-do lists. If you’re like most professionals, you might have heard that Artificial Intelligence is the next big thing, but you’re not quite sure how it fits into your daily grind.
Enter "Artificial Intelligence for Everyday Work," the groundbreaking new release and first title in The Corporate Compass Series, authored by veteran corporate leader Rajesh Seshadri. This book isn’t about the AI of Hollywood’s wildest dreams or coded for software engineers—it’s about the real, practical AI tools that can help you take control of your workday, today.
Why AI Isn’t Just for Tech Gurus Anymore
Think AI is something for Silicon Valley “techies” or PhDs in computer science? Think again. As Rajesh Seshadri explains, “AI has quietly entered boardrooms, inboxes, HR processes, and sales strategies across the globe.” The only difference between those thriving and those surviving is who knows how to use it.
You don’t need to know how to write a single line of code to benefit. Whether you’re in operations, finance, sales, or human resources, AI can help automate repetitive tasks, enhance your decision-making, increase productivity, reduce stress, and—most importantly—free you up to focus on creative and strategic work.
From Overwhelm to Opportunity: Real-World AI in Action
What sets this book apart is its relatable, real-world scenarios. Early in the book, you’ll meet “Sarah,” a marketing manager drowning in 500+ Monday morning emails—a scenario so painfully familiar, it’s almost funny. But when Sarah’s company introduces an AI-powered email assistant, she’s able to categorize, summarize, and draft responses in a fraction of the time. Suddenly, Sarah isn’t bogged down by busywork—she’s leading creative campaigns that showcase her true talent.
This isn’t an isolated story. Whether it’s a project manager trying to distill pages of survey data into a one-slide summary, or a customer service agent aiming to predict and resolve client pain points before they escalate, AI’s benefits go far beyond the theoretical.
What Will You Gain From This Book?
Artificial Intelligence for Everyday Work delivers much more than an explanation of buzzwords—it’s a step-by-step guide to making AI your professional ally. Here’s what you’ll discover:
Core Concepts Explained Simply: Confused by “Machine Learning,” “Natural Language Processing,” or “Generative AI”? You’ll understand these terms in minutes, not months, and see how they manifest in everyday work tools and apps.
Immediate, Practical Strategies: This book is packed with actionable checklists for automating tasks, enhancing research, crafting communications, and more. No jargon, no hype—just solutions for your workflow.
Prompt Engineering for Real People: Too often, employees get frustrated with AI tools because they don’t know what to ask. You’ll learn how to give AI clear, effective prompts—and get helpful, accurate results every time.
Overcoming the Pitfalls: From avoiding “AI fatigue” to maintaining data privacy and judiciously reviewing AI output, you’ll find tips for sidestepping common mistakes.
Templates, Self-Assessments, and an Action Plan: Rajesh provides diagnostic quizzes and ready-to-use action plans that ensure you put your new skills into motion, not just your to-read pile.
Who Should Read This Book?
Corporate employees at any level wanting to reduce drudgery and boost productivity.
Managers and team leaders seeking to future-proof their teams and help staff get more done with less stress.
Professionals anxious about job security and wanting to harness technology with—not against—their human skills.
Lifelong learners curious to demystify technology without going back to school for a computer science degree.
Real-Life Wins: Success Stories That Inspire
The best part? The strategies in this book are already paying dividends for professionals like you:
A marketer personalizes thousands of customer emails with AI, increasing open rates by 40%.
An HR manager automates onboarding, freeing time to focus on team development and morale.
A financial analyst leverages AI to spot fraud—saving clients millions and earning a fast-track promotion.
Teams across industries use AI meeting assistants to auto-generate transcripts, summaries, and action points—making every meeting productive (finally!).
The Future of Work Is Human—With an AI Boost
One of the book’s most empowering messages is that humans are not being replaced by AI, but augmented by it. You’ll learn how “human-in-the-loop” processes—where you review, tweak, and approve AI-generated suggestions—ensure you get the best of both worlds: automation and critical thinking.
As Rajesh Seshadri writes, “The future of work is a partnership, not a race. The winners will be those who learn, experiment, and collaborate with AI, transforming not only their workflows, but their careers."
Ready to Make AI Your Strategic Ally?
If you've ever wished you had an extra pair of hands (or brains) at work, AI might be the “secret colleague” you didn’t know you had. "Artificial Intelligence for Everyday Work" is your all-access pass to not just surviving this new era, but thriving in it—no PhD required.
