AlgoX CEO Takumi Nishimoto's book on delegating work to generative AI released September 1 through Impress after hitting number one in six Amazon ranking categories as of August 31. The 192-page volume systematizes seven techniques for treating AI as a capable new hire rather than a tool, covering expectation-setting, work design, instruction, feedback, AI agents, organizational leadership, and performance. Nishimoto is a Boston Consulting Group alum whose firm reports support for more than 100 companies.
The book runs 192 pages at A5 size and sells for 1,980 yen including tax, with the digital edition priced the same.
Nishimoto, who worked at Boston Consulting Group before founding AlgoX, frames generative AI as a "superior new employee" rather than a tool. The seven chapters move from setting expectations and designing work to giving instructions, delivering feedback, leading AI agents, guiding an organization, and raising performance.
The author's firm reports support for more than 100 companies. The book argues that prompt techniques and tool selection are no longer enough, and that drawing out AI's potential requires the same management discipline applied to people.
