# AI on the Job

> Twenty-five plain-English books about using AI in the job you already have — one per trade, from auto repair to veterinary teams. Neither doom nor rapture: it is a good tool for words, it does not do your job, it does the writing around your job. Published by Greenlight Publishing under the AI on the Job Press imprint, 2027 edition.

Each book is 12 chapters and about 30,000 words, with 150 numbered copy-paste prompts, a glossary and a 30-day plan. Sold as a $7.99 DRM-free EPUB and a $14.99 MP3 audiobook, both delivered instantly. No printed edition yet.

## Field guides — what AI does in each trade

One page per trade, free and complete. Each is written out of that trade's book: the blocks of writing worth handing over and what each is worth in hours, the eight kinds of prompt, what the tool gets wrong there, the compliance line, and that trade's vocabulary. Start here.
