Unique Features of the Book

Proving “AI Native” in the Creation Process

In an impressive feat, the book's manuscript was completed in only three days, showcasing an advanced integration of AI in the creation process.

1. Rapid Manuscript Creation
The project, driven by the “Ibuki Project” alongside SourceNext's CHRO, utilized AI to analyze vast internal documents accumulated over six months, such as strategic papers, meeting minutes, AI guidelines, and feedback from all employees. The result was a manuscript drafted at an astonishing speed unthinkable in traditional publishing.

2. Balancing AI and Human Creativity
It is crucial to note that the creative writing process was not entirely left to AI. The design and decision-making, including determining which materials to use and the narrative structure, were orchestrated by humans. This collaboration exemplifies the new work style presented in the book—prioritizing human thought processes (80% thinking and 20% execution) in the AI era. The book's development process serves as a practical demonstration of this approach.
