The AI+ standard

What makes an AI+ book different.

Six things every AI+ book is built to give you.

01Hyper-Practical

We teach how you can use AI in your job practically to unlock time and better work immediately.

02Role / Skill Focused

The collection covers every profession and skill. Each book goes deep into one.

03Always Current

We keep our books updated at the speed of AI.

04Built to be taught

We build books that are ready for the classroom — objectives, diagnostics and credentials in place.

05Stackable Skills

We teach skills that stack — each one building on the last, across a career.

06AI+You

We see AI as a force multiplier for human expertise — and we teach it that way.

Inside every AI+ book

What’s in every AI+ Book

No two professions are the same — but every AI+ title is built to the same method. Here is what’s inside, shown through real pages pulled from books right across the library.

The method, in every book

Three frameworks every reader learns.

One for prompting, one for judging quality, one for staying safe — plus role-specific frameworks unique to each profession. Hover or tap a letter to see what it means.

For prompting
PRISM
PersonaP

Who the AI should be — the role, expertise, or perspective it adopts.

For evaluating quality
TRUST
TraceableT

Sourced, cited, verifiable — you can follow every claim back.

For AI safety
GUARD
GaugeG

Assess the stakes before you start.

Reading paths

Who are you training?

A whole organisation. A single profession. A skill needed across many roles. Each bundle is a ready-made reading programme for one of those audiences — the books already chosen, the reading order already set. Pick the one that matches your need; we’ve taken the book-by-book decision off your plate.

Not sure which bundle fits? Tell us who you are training and we will come back with a recommended bundle, pricing, and a deployment plan.

Beyond the books

The library keeps working after the last page.

Around the books sit three things that keep the collection live: research that tracks the field, a platform to practise the prompts on, and a weekly briefing.
