The Professional System for Building, Delivering, & Scaling AI Consulting Expertise
‹ 22 chapters. 600+ professional tools. The complete system for AI consulting mastery. ›
The AI Agent Sprint is a 22-chapter playbook for people building an AI consulting practice, by Niku Dutta (founder, Sentient Sky Ltd; fifteen-plus years in enterprise digital and BI transformation). It covers the full path: discovery calls, value-based pricing, building AI agents, finding clients, scaling and exit. It’s built around one idea: the AI Translator, the consultant who turns AI into something a business can use on Monday. Digital editions (pre-sale) start at $67 and add a living companion book and up to 600+ templates. The print edition ($34.99) is coming soon. Read Chapter 1 free before you buy. A 14-day guarantee starts when you get access.
Digital editions: launch pricing is live - the lowest these prices will ever be. Print edition will be available at $34.99 on Amazon and major booksellers.
How It Started
A text message, a dentist, and a meeting I had no business taking.
A friend texted me about a dentist who needed help with AI. That conversation is where this book starts. What followed was eighteen months of building the system I wish someone had handed me. The frameworks. The templates. The mistakes I made in front of real people. All of it is in these pages.
Eighteen months ago, I was waiting for a cab and trying not to think about how my life had turned out. Forty-three years old. Starting over. The kind of “starting over” that comes with a studio apartment and furniture from the last decade.
Then my phone buzzed.
Buddy: “Hey, you know about that ChatGPT thing, right?”
Me: “Yeah, why?”
Buddy: “My dentist is going crazy trying to figure it out. Wants to use it for his practice but doesn’t know where to start. Told him you were good with computers. Can you help? He’ll pay.”
I stared at that message for three minutes. The truth? I knew almost nothing about ChatGPT beyond what I’d seen on Twitter. Fifteen-plus years of enterprise digital and BI transformation behind me – and this thing still made me feel like a first-year. But I was desperate. And desperate people say things like:
“Sure, let me come in and take a look.”
I spent the next 72 hours panic-Googling, watching every tutorial I could find, and testing ChatGPT until my eyes hurt. By Tuesday morning, I knew just enough to be dangerous. The meeting lasted an hour. I showed the dentist one automation that would save his receptionist three hours a day.
I walked out with a signed engagement. My first one.
Not because I was an expert. Because I could translate AI from something scary into something useful. That’s the whole game. (Spoiler: it’s still the whole game.)
“The difference between being ignored and being indispensable isn’t your AI knowledge. It’s your ability to make clients feel like they hired McKinsey, not their nephew who’s ‘good with computers.’ “
The next ninety days taught me more than the fifteen years before them. Not because I turned into an AI genius. Because I learned to translate something abstract into something a business could use on Monday. That shift, from technology to translation, is the system behind this book. And the demand for translation is not slowing down.
Everything I learned, every framework I built, every mistake I made, every delivery system that actually worked: it’s in this book. Not the sanitized version. The real one.
Three Reading Paths
You don't read this book cover to cover. You start where you are.
Three demographics. Three entry points. Same system.
Starting From Scratch
Career changers & entrepreneurs
You’ve never worked in AI consulting before. (Neither had I, and I failed calculus twice.) Part I gives you the foundation: what to learn, what to build, and how to think about this space professionally. The AI Opportunity Audit in Chapter 1 is your first real deliverable: a structured diagnostic you can run in a single session and present as a professional engagement.
Already a Consultant
Adding AI services
You have clients. You have a methodology. What you need is a way to bolt AI onto what you already do without starting from zero. The agent frameworks in Part II and the industry playbooks in Chapter 9 are where established consultants find the most immediate application.
Leading a Team
Corporate professionals
You’re thinking about leaving corporate, or you want to build an AI consulting division inside your company. Stop planning. Start executing. The scaling frameworks, team-building systems, and exit-planning chapters in Parts V and VI are built for exactly this kind of transition, and they don’t assume you’re starting from a studio apartment.
A quick word about who this isn’t for.
If you’re looking for shortcuts, this isn’t your book. If you want results without sitting through discovery calls, building ROI models, and occasionally dealing with stakeholders who don’t return emails for three weeks: also not your book. This is a professional system for people who are willing to do real work. The frameworks accelerate learning. They don’t eliminate the effort.
Read Chapter 1 of both books before you spend a dollar.
If the frameworks don’t immediately apply to your situation, don’t buy the book. If they do, the rest of the 21 chapters are built the same way.
You’ll also get 🧠 AI Advantage Weekly – practical AI consulting strategies.

Before the cab. Before the dentist. Before I knew whether any of this would work. I spent fifteen-plus years inside the institutions that built the playbooks everyone else follows, driving business intelligence and digital transformation across a six-company portfolio. AI entered that work in 2022, and it turned out every hard lesson from the previous fifteen years applied directly. Then generative AI reset the clock for everyone – including me – and I left to find out whether the frameworks that work inside established firms could survive contact with a one-person practice starting from a studio apartment. This book is the working record of that experiment. Not the finished story.
The method, written down while it was still being tested.
“After that first engagement, I kept asking the same question: if every business needs this and almost nobody is offering it, where is everybody?
88% of companies now use AI somewhere in the business. About 1% would call themselves mature at it.
The distance between those two numbers is not a technology problem. It is a translation problem. And translation is a job.
$11B
The 2025 baseline
Growing at 26%+ annually. Projected to reach $91 billion within a decade. Most of that growth sits below the enterprise tier, which is where independent practitioners tend to find room.
55%
Small businesses using AI in 2025
Up from 39% the year before. A 41% jump in twelve months. Adoption is no longer the bottleneck. Most of them bought the tools and then stopped, because nobody could tell them what to do next. That second question is the one this book answers.
26%+
Year-over-year growth
This market is doubling every three years. The practitioners who build expertise now will be better positioned than those who start later. The frameworks in this book are designed for this specific window: early enough to establish depth, before the space becomes crowded.
Least crowded space.
More practitioners entering.
Market data: McKinsey, The State of AI in 2025 (November 2025, n=1,993 across 105 countries); Thryv, 2nd Annual AI and Small Business survey, July 2025 (n=540); Future Market Insights, August 2025. Temporal markers indicate publication-year estimates.
But here's the part nobody wants to hear.
The Cost of Waiting
Every month you spend Googling "how to start with AI" is a month of learning you haven't done.
I don’t say that to be dramatic. I say it because I’ve watched it happen. Three people I know started building AI expertise after I started. Two of them are now fully committed to the work. The third is still “doing research.”
Part I walks you from zero to professional readiness. The AI Opportunity Audit in Chapter 1 is a structured business diagnostic: a repeatable framework you can study, practice, and adapt. The framework is in the book. The template is in the toolkit.
The advantage of learning now is straightforward: fewer people have done the work yet. That changes every quarter. (They will show up. The question is whether you’ve already built the knowledge base when they do.) The practitioners who develop specialized depth first, and this book shows you exactly how, carry that advantage forward.
The print book is $34.99. The digital Bundle is $67 at launch. The alternative is the next 12 months of figuring it out alone.
From the Book
This is how it reads. From the first page.
Excerpt · Chapter 1 · The Opportunity Nobody's Talking About
Now here’s where most people stall. They read about the three services, nod enthusiastically, and then spend three weeks “getting ready” instead of getting clients. Don’t be that person. The best preparation is a real conversation with a real business owner who has a real problem. Everything else is procrastination in a costume.
– The AI Agent Sprint · Page 3
That voice carries across all 22 chapters & bonuses. But you don't have to read them in order.
What's Inside
Seven parts that build on each other like a staircase, not a buffet.
I spent a year watching consultants fail because they skipped the foundation and jumped straight to “AI agent pricing.” This book is sequenced intentionally: each part gives you what you need to make the next part work. You can’t build a referral network before you have clients. You can’t price for value before you can articulate value.
That said: nobody’s going to arrest you for skipping ahead. (See the three reading paths above.) But if you’re starting from scratch, read it in order. I built the staircase so you wouldn’t have to build it yourself.

The book passes the airplane test. Read it at 35,000 feet with no internet: you’ll walk off the plane with a plan. No QR codes / links required for the frameworks.
That's the structure. Here's what's different about you after you close it.
What's Inside
Here's what changes.
Not what’s in the book. What’s different about you when you close it.
Run a discovery call that surfaces the real problem, not the one the client thinks they have. Build an ROI model in three layers so a finance lead can check your arithmetic instead of taking your word for it. Explain machine learning to a room of executives without using a single word they would need to Google.
Design, build, and price AI agents across five architecture patterns, from single-action through to multi-agent. Know which pattern a problem actually needs, what it costs to deliver, and how to say no to the ones that do not.
Pick a niche and become the name people think of first. Healthcare AI. Legal tech. Retail automation. Score the decision across fifteen weighted factors instead of going with your gut and finding out in month nine.
Build the operating side of a practice. How work arrives, what your stack looks like, how you protect client data, and what you do in the week something goes badly wrong. Because it will.
Lead with a diagnostic instead of a pitch. Design governance a client can actually run, not a policy document that dies in a shared drive. Price large engagements without flinching.
Build a practice that does not need you in every room. Systematize, create IP you can license, and understand what makes a practice worth something to somebody else. Stop building a job. Start building a business.
Deeper In
And this is how it reads on page 87.
Excerpt · Chapter 3 · The Psychology of Premium Pricing
Here’s a fact that should rewire your brain: Nobel Prize-winning economists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky proved that people feel the pain of losing something roughly 2.25 times more intensely than the pleasure of gaining the same thing. They called it loss aversion, and it’s the foundation of Prospect Theory, which won Kahneman the Nobel in 2002.
Why does this matter for your consulting practice? Because most new consultants price by listing what the client gets. “You get an AI implementation, team training, and a 90-day support plan.” That’s features. Features invite comparison shopping. Features make you a commodity.
The consultants who command premium prices don’t sell features. They stack value in layers, each one addressing a different part of the client’s psychology: what they want to gain, what they’re terrified of losing, and what it costs them to wait.
– The AI Agent Sprint
The Digital Layer
The book teaches you how to think. The digital companion book goes ten times deeper on every chapter. 600+ templates show you how to do.
The Codex lives online. It updates quarterly. Every platform recommendation, rate benchmark, and regulatory note gets refreshed so the intelligence around the frameworks never goes stale. The print book gives you a system that doesn’t expire. The Codex gives you a system that never falls behind.
Every chapter links to its tools. Scan a QR, download, and go. At $97 for the Professional tier, that works out to roughly $0.16 per template. A single client proposal template replaces hours of building from scratch. The other 599 are there when you need them.
(You don’t need the templates to get value from the book. The frameworks work without them. The full toolkit exists to save roughly three months of building from scratch. Your call.)
$34.99 Available soon on Amazon and major booksellers. The complete 22-chapter system in print. Includes a ~100-resource Starter Kit via QR code inside the cover: one hero resource per chapter, key calculators, worksheets, 20+ AI prompts. Everything you need to read along and implement. Print book buyers can upgrade to any digital tier at a $30 discount. See the QR inside your book.
$67 Digital book + The AI Sprint Codex (living, quarterly-updated) + Full Starter Toolkit (~150 resources) + 50 additional premium resources + Field Report companion resources. Everything you need to build the strategy, keep it current, and start with the right tools.
$97 Everything in the Bundle, plus the full 600+ template library, 12 months of quarterly Codex updates, full quarterly Field Reports (original market intelligence for active practitioners), private community access, and monthly Q&A sessions.
$397 Everything in Professional, for a team. Up to 10 named user seats, white-label templates, and priority support.
Why This Book
Most AI books give you 150 pages of theory and a list of tools that'll be outdated by September.
I’ve read them. Cover to cover. No pricing frameworks. No contracts. No agent architectures. No exit strategy. They tell you AI consulting is a great opportunity (thanks, already knew that) and then leave you staring at a blank Google Doc at midnight wondering what to actually charge your first client.
Three things make this different. First, scope: this is the only title that covers the full lifecycle, from your first awkward sales call through building a team, creating sellable IP, and planning your exit. Not just the “getting started” phase. Second, resources: 600+ templates isn’t marketing math. It’s an actual count that took over a year to build. Third, methodology: the AI Agent Sprint is a named system, built and documented in practice, with its own frameworks, pricing models, and delivery playbooks that you can use on a real client next week.
Here is one more way to think about it. The pricing logic in Chapter 3 is not exotic. Loss aversion, value stacking, and anchoring have been documented in the behavioural economics literature for forty years. Large firms teach them in the first month. Most independent practitioners never get taught them at all. That gap is the reason this chapter exists.
Appendix F maps the Governance Acceleration Model against the four instruments a client will ask you about: the EU AI Act, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO/IEC 42001, and ISO/IEC 42005. Your system in the left column. Their standard in the right. Not the other way round.
What You'll Build
The professional capabilities this system develops.
A structured diagnostic methodology you can apply across industries
AI agent design, deployment, and business justification frameworks
Practice operations, team systems, and IP development architecture
Four ways in. One system.
The frameworks are in the book. The tools that make them deployable are in the digital tiers. The intelligence that keeps them current is in the Field Reports.

Questions I'd ask if I were you.
Honest answers. No marketing spin.
"What is the Extended Version / Companion Book (The AI Sprint Codex)?"
TL;DR: the main book is the strategy. The AI Sprint Codex is the strategy, expanded, kept current, and always within reach.
The book teaches you how to think. The AI Sprint Codex teaches you how to do.
It goes ten times deeper on every chapter – more context, more examples, more of the reasoning that doesn’t fit in a print run. And unlike the print book, it lives online. That means it gets updated regularly: new facts, current figures, fresh platform guidance. AI moves fast. The Codex moves with it.
The AI Sprint Codex is included in every digital edition – Book Bundle, Professional, and Enterprise – as part of your purchase. It is not included in the print edition or Kindle edition sold on Amazon or book stores. Print/Kindle book buyers can add the Codex by upgrading to any digital tier (see the QR code inside your book).
One thing worth clarifying: the Codex is not the 600+ templates. Those are the tools you hand to clients or use for your consulting work. The Codex is the depth behind each chapter – the extended thinking that makes the frameworks stick.
Professional and Enterprise members receive quarterly Codex updates for 12 months, keeping the intelligence around the frameworks current as the tools and the prices move. They also receive the full Field Report series – original quarterly market intelligence written specifically for practitioners actively building AI consulting practices. Book Bundle members receive Field Report companion resources (free-tier checklists and quick references) but not the full Field Report intelligence documents.
"Is The AI Sprint Codex included with the print book?"
No. The AI Sprint Codex is a digital-tier exclusive, available with the Book Bundle, Professional, and Enterprise editions purchased online.
The print book includes a Starter Kit of ~100 resources via the QR code inside the cover, but the Codex – the living digital companion that updates quarterly – is not part of the print edition.
If you have the print book and want the Codex, the QR code inside gives you access to an upgrade at $30 off any digital tier. The Book Bundle ($37 upgrade price) is the entry point for Codex access.
"When do I get access, and does this include the print book?"
No print. Everything in the pre-sale is digital: The AI Agent Sprint ebook, The AI Sprint Codex living book, the template library, and Field Reports. The print edition will be available on Amazon and major booksellers at $34.99. It includes the complete 22-chapter system and a ~100-resource Starter Kit via QR code inside the cover, but does not include the AI Sprint Codex or Field Reports – those are exclusive to digital editions purchased here. If you want the physical book, wait for that listing. If you want the lowest price and immediate digital access on release day, you’re in the right place.
Access is granted within 45 days of the pre-sale closing date. That’s the window: 30 days for final production and release preparation, plus a 15-day buffer for the unforeseen. Publishing, even digital publishing, has moving parts.
Here’s how it actually works. You buy now. Nothing downloads yet, except the free chapters of both The AI Agent Sprint (Chapter 1) and The AI Sprint Codex (Chapter 1) & three templates. You can also download those using the email unlock form above. On release day – within that 45-day window – you get an access link for everything included in your tier. That’s when the clock starts on your digital access.
UK and EU buyers: Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (UK) and the EU Consumer Rights Directive, you have a 14-day right to cancel from your purchase date. Since this is a pre-sale and no content is delivered at checkout, that right is not waived at the point of purchase. If you change your mind within 14 days of buying, contact us at [email protected] for a full refund. No reason needed.
If anything pushes the release beyond the 45-day window, you’ll hear from us before it happens. At that point, the option to cancel for a full refund remains open – because access hasn’t been granted yet.
Once access is granted, the 14-day satisfaction guarantee begins: go through Part I of the book, and if you don’t believe the frameworks deliver genuine professional value, email us within 14 days of your access date for a full refund. Beyond that window, the standard no-refund policy applies, as stated in the Terms & Conditions. That’s the trade-off for pre-sale pricing. Lock in the lowest price now. Get everything on release day.
"What's the difference between the print book and the Book Bundle?"
Two different formats. One system. The question is which format fits how you work.
The print book ($34.99 on Amazon/ bookstores) is the complete 22-chapter system in physical form. You get the full framework, every chapter, the bonus sections. Inside the cover, a QR code unlocks your Starter Kit – roughly 100 resources including one hero template per chapter, key calculators, worksheets, and 20+ AI prompts. That’s enough to implement everything in the book.
The Book Bundle ($67) is the digital version, and it adds three things the print book doesn’t have. First, The AI Sprint Codex – the living digital companion that goes ten times deeper on every chapter and updates quarterly as the market moves. Second, the full Starter Toolkit (~150 resources) plus 50 additional premium resources not available in the print edition. Third, Field Report companion resources with each quarterly issue (includes tools & templates).
So the gap isn’t the book content – that’s identical. The gap is the Codex, the expanded resource library, and the ongoing intelligence layer.
If you want a physical book to read and mark up, get the print edition. If you want the digital system with the living companion and the larger toolkit, get the Bundle. If you want both: buy the print edition first, then upgrade via the QR code inside at a $30 discount.
"I bought the print book on Amazon / Bookstore. Where are the templates and tools?"
Scan the QR code on the inside cover of your book. That’s where everything starts.
What unlocks immediately when you scan: your Starter Kit – roughly 100 resources curated specifically for the print edition. One hero resource per chapter, the key calculators, worksheets, and 20+ AI prompts. These work alongside the frameworks in the book and don’t require any additional purchase.
What isn’t included in the print edition: The AI Sprint Codex, the full Starter Toolkit (~150 resources), the 50 additional premium resources, the 600+ professional template library, and the Field Reports. These are part of the digital tiers available exclusively online.
The good news: the same QR code gives you access to the upgrade path at a $30 discount off any digital tier. You’ve already bought the book – you’re not paying for it again. You’re paying for the digital layer on top.
- Book Bundle upgrade: $37 (saves $30)
- Professional upgrade: $67 (saves $30)
- Enterprise upgrade: $367 (saves $30)
The frameworks in the print book work without the digital tiers. Everything you need to land your first client is in the pages. The digital tiers exist to accelerate delivery – turning three months of template-building into three hours of downloading. Your call.
"I already bought the print book. Can I upgrade to a digital tier?"
Yes – and you don’t pay for the book twice.
Scan the QR code on the inside cover of your physical book. The upgrade page is exclusive to print book owners and gives you $30 off any digital tier:
- Book Bundle: $37 instead of $67

"What's included in the quarterly updates?"
Two things land in your inbox every quarter: an updated AI Sprint Codex and a Field Report.
The Codex updates are exactly what they sound like. The book’s frameworks don’t change – value-based pricing works the same way it always has, and the discovery call structure doesn’t expire. What changes is the intelligence around those frameworks: platform pricing, tool comparisons, rate benchmarks, regulatory context. Every quarter, outdated figures get replaced with current ones. The Codex is the book that never goes stale.
The Field Report is different in kind, not just degree. It’s original market intelligence written specifically for practitioners who are actively building AI consulting practices. Each report tracks a quarter’s worth of real developments – not trend pieces, not recycled press releases – and maps every shift that matters back to the frameworks.
Three have shipped so far:
- FR1, The Agent Economy. Twelve resources across Free, Professional, and Enterprise.
- FR2, The Agent Trust Threshold: When Agents Start Spending Money. Seven resources.
- FR3, The Agent Front Door: What Happens When Half Your Traffic Isn’t Human. Ten resources, two figures.
Field Report 1 covered the agent economy and what OpenClaw’s rise to the most-starred project on GitHub means for how you scope a security engagement. Field Report 2 covered agent identity and reliability, and what changes the first time an agent is allowed to spend money. Field Report 3 covered the moment bots passed humans at roughly 57% of HTML requests, and the four doors a site can put in front of them. Each one maps back to frameworks you already have. FR3’s four-door model, for example, runs straight into the zero-trust architecture from Chapter 10.
Each report ships with its own resource set. FR1 carries twelve, FR2 seven, FR3 ten, split across free companion resources and the tiered set.
The Field Report document – the analysis, case studies, and action intelligence – is available to Professional and Enterprise members. Each report also ships with companion resources; some are free for all buyers, others are gated by tier. FR1, for example, includes four free resources (checklists, templates, quick references) alongside eight Professional and Enterprise resources. Starter Toolkit and Book Bundle ($67) buyers receive the free companion resources but not the full Field Report.
Each report opens with a case study of a consultant navigating the exact market shift being covered, the specific decisions, hesitations, and outcomes that the quarter produced. That narrative anchor is what makes the intelligence actionable.
"I'm not technical. Can I actually do this?"
I failed calculus. Twice. (The second time was more embarrassing because I thought I’d studied.) The tools in this book are mostly drag-and-drop platforms, pre-built frameworks, and conversation techniques. If you can use a spreadsheet and hold a meeting, you have enough technical ability. The book is built for people who are smart about business but nervous about technology, because that’s exactly who I was eighteen months ago.
"I already run a consulting practice. Is this too basic?"
Parts I and II will feel like review. Parts III through VI are where this book earns its keep for established consultants: AI agent architectures you can deploy immediately, design frameworks for multi-agent systems, industry playbooks for six verticals, team scaling frameworks, and an exit strategy chapter that most business books don’t have the nerve to include. Skip to Part III and work forward.
"Won't this be outdated in six months?"
The print book is deliberately built around frameworks that don’t expire when OpenAI ships a new model. “How to run a discovery call” doesn’t change. “How to price based on value” doesn’t change. Human psychology doesn’t get software updates. The print chapters pass the airplane test: everything you need to run your next client conversation at 35,000 feet., no internet required. The digital companion handles the fast-moving stuff: current platform recommendations, new templates, updated tool guidance. Professional and Enterprise members get quarterly updates for a full year.
"How are the 600+ templates delivered?"
Through aiagentsprint.com. Every chapter has QR codes linking directly to the relevant resources. Create an account, scan a QR (or type the short URL), and download in Google Sheets, Docs, or PDF format. Takes about ten seconds. Your toolkit tier determines which resources you unlock. You will also get access to a community where you can download the resources.
"Can I use these templates with my own clients?"
Yes. That is what they are for. Every tier that includes the template library lets you use the material in your own client work and build deliverables on top of it.
What differs is branding and who holds the licence. On Book Bundle and Professional the licence is personal to you and the material keeps our name on it. On Enterprise the licence belongs to your organisation rather than to you, covers ten named people, stays with the company if someone leaves, and lets you take our branding off and present the material as your own.
"Can my team share one Enterprise license?"
Yes. Enterprise covers up to 10 users on the same team, each with their own login and download access. For teams larger than 10, email [email protected] and we’ll work something out. I’m flexible. (I’m also a one-person company, so expect a reply within 24 hours, not a ticket number.)
"What makes this different from the other AI consulting books?"
Three things. Scope: this is the only book that covers the full lifecycle from foundation through exit, not just the “getting started” phase. Resources: 600+ templates is the actual count, not a marketing approximation, and it took over a year to build them. Methodology: the AI Agent Sprint is a named system with its own frameworks, pricing models, and delivery playbooks. There isn’t another book that does all three. I checked.
"Is it on Amazon?"
It will be on Amazon and major booksellers. The digital toolkit tiers (Professional and Enterprise) are exclusive to aiagentsprint.com, because Amazon doesn’t let you bundle 600 templates with a book listing. Fair enough.
Individual results vary. Results may vary based on effort, experience, market conditions, and implementation quality.
Eighteen months ago, I was waiting for a cab with no plan.
Today I have a system, written down, tested on real problems, and now sitting in front of you. That is the whole offer. I am not going to tell you it makes the work easy. I will tell you it makes the work legible. Pick your edition. Start building. Stop waiting for permission you don't need.
Launch pricing is live. After launch the Bundle rises to $79, Professional to $127 then $247, and Enterprise to $497 then $997.
