Agentic AI for Business Leaders: How to Deploy Autonomous Systems Without a Tech Team

Your competitor just deployed an AI agent. It handles 60% of their customer inquiries, responds in minutes instead of hours, and runs 24/7. They built it in 30 days. Without a developer. Without a six-figure budget. This book shows you how to do the same. The agentic AI revolution isn't coming-it's here. McKinsey reports that 62% of organizations are already experimenting with AI agents, and Gartner projects 40% of small and mid-size businesses will deploy at least one by the end of 2026. But most guides assume you have a tech team, a coding background, or an enterprise budget. This book assumes none of that. Agentic AI for Business Leaders is the first book that gives non-technical business leaders both the strategic understanding AND the practical, step-by-step playbook to deploy AI agents using no-code tools. Written by Abel Choy-a technologist, CTO, and university lecturer with over 30 years at the intersection of business and technology-this book meets you where you are and walks you to a working AI agent in 30 days.
