From Copilot to Colleague
With Daniel Mohanrao. A source-anchored book on AI engineering: how AI systems move from assistants that suggest, to copilots that collaborate in real time, to delegates trusted with full, reviewable tasks. Every claim links to the exact conference-talk video and timestamp it came from.
Inside the book +
- 199 source anchors linking claims to precise conference-talk timestamps
- Drawn from 881 AI Engineer conference talks
- Three-tier claim support levels (strong, moderate, tentative)
- Public, machine-readable claims ledger and chapter drafts
