Unlocking the Potential of AI in Knowledge Production: A Comprehensive Guide by Deskrex

Deskrex, a front-runner in the integration of AI technologies into knowledge work, has announced the upcoming release of its new book, "Unlocking the Potential of AI in Knowledge Production", co-authored by CEO Itaru Tomita. Slated for release on December 17, 2025, the book will be available for pre-order on platforms like Amazon and Rakuten starting December 1, 2025. This groundbreaking guide aims to provide a structured approach for effectively utilizing generative AI and AI agents across various facets of intellectual production, including data collection, analysis, content creation, and communication.

Book Overview

"Unlocking the Potential of AI in Knowledge Production" focuses on harnessing the often invisible capabilities and potential of AI, transforming these technologies into reliable collaborators. It offers systematic methods and concepts designed to cultivate AI agents as dependable partners in the intellectual production process. Through the use of popular AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and NotebookLM, readers will discover practical frameworks and prompt examples meant to enhance their workflows and productivity levels.

The driving force behind this tome arises from observing the growing pains many professionals face as they incorporate generative AI into their daily routines. For several business professionals, while AI tools have been utilized for minor tasks like writing and summarizing, deeper integration into core responsibilities remains a challenge. Common issues reported include:
1. Limited application of AI in day-to-day operations.
2. Lack of widespread utilization across the organization.
3. A disconnect between general prompt collections and company-specific contexts.

As AI agents like ChatGPT and Claude evolve from simple question-answering tools to powerful autonomous entities capable of conducting multi-step research and crafting comprehensive materials, this book aims to bridge the gap between potential and real-world usage.

Author's Insight

In recent years since the introduction of ChatGPT, numerous business professionals have begun experimenting with generative AI for various tasks. However, Tomita emphasizes that mere surface-level familiarity with prompts and AI tools is insufficient.

"We need experts who can install their own company's knowledge, rules, and evaluation criteria into AI systems and collaborate with them to design and operate the entire intellectual production process," he states. The framework outlined in this book derives from Deskrex's extensive experience in developing its own AI applications and providing corporate training and consulting. By treating AI not just as a tool but as an essential 'thinking apparatus' to amplify intellectual labor, the book positions itself to equip readers with the necessary competencies.
