Agentify

""AGENTIFY is the most important technology book I've read in a decade. The same rigor that separates winning hedge funds and private-equity portfolios from the rest (deep domain moats, adaptive feedback loops, and robust risk control) is now required to build winning AI agents. Every investor and founder allocating capital to autonomous agents needs to read this book - twice."" - John Botti, Wall Street Veteran, former Chief Investment Officer of multi-billion dollar credit hedge fund ""Michael Palmer has a rare ability to deconstruct the complex 'black box' of AI into actionable engineering principles. AGENTIFY brilliantly balances the science of machine learning with the art of user-centric design. Whether you are a developer, an executive, or an investor, the insight in this book will fundamentally change how you understand the mechanics and the potential of AI agents in the modern economy."" - Dan Benveniste, CEO and Founder, SkillWaze ""This is the book you need to understand what it means for AI agents to act with autonomy. By weaving together the challenges of autonomy, accountability, and trust with the opportunities of an augmented digital workforce AGENTIFY offers a compelling yet balanced vision of the possible. Rather than either warning or celebrating, Palmer invites readers to grapple with the relationship we will need to develop with systems that act on their own on our behalf. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand not just the technology, but the future of human agency in a world of autonomous machines."" - Gil Yehuda, Head of Open Source at a major American bank ""Few books today capture the real-world practicality of agentic AI. AGENTIFY does. It's an essential read for any founder or team shaping the next generation of intelligent systems, with clear insight into where today's AI still has limits. Every founder should read it."" - Swaroop 'Kittu' Kolluri, Founder and Managing Director, Neotribe Ventures ""AGENTIFY offers a rare blend of vision and depth on AI agents. For those actively building in the eld, it can help turn strategy into real business outcomes."" - John Burns, Chairman, Board of Directors (multiple companies) ""Michael's deep technical expertise and decades of product lead- ership shine through in AGENTIFY. While AI Agents are a daily topic in tech and venture circles at this point, rarely do those conversations reveal a clear vision of realistic end goals with paths to achieve them for most use cases. AGENTIFY carefully illustrates some of the most plausible outcomes in the rapidly evolving agentic world and is a valuable read for those trying to see around the corners of AI evolution to come."" - Paul Longhenry, General Partner, TheFounderVC ""AGENTIFY performs the difficult task of smoothly transition- ing from foundational AI theory to practical technical concepts, all woven together with beautiful narrative examples. This is an essential read for any modern-day founder building an AI product."" - Brent Hobson, CEO, Wytebox ""Every business line risk manager should own a copy of this toolkit! It's written for the practitioner by someone who has deployed agents on almost every commercially available pipeline. This book is filled with real world advice for managing risk while rapidly scaling agents as products based on actual practice, using terms like think out loud instead of explainability to set the bar for effective risk management."" - Jeff Terry, Former Chair, The Clearing House Enterprise Risk Committee, Financial Services Technology Risk Executive
