We published The AI-Native Organization, a field record of rebuilding a company around AI

On September 28, at our Agentic Growth Summit at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, we launched The AI-Native Organization, a new book by our CEO and co-founder Paris Lyu, published by ThinkingAI Press in its first English edition. Attendees received printed copies. The same day, we opened self-serve sign-up for our Agentic Engine.

The book asks how an organization should grow when machines can do the work.

For a hundred years, companies have coordinated work in two ways. People adjust to each other in real time, which works until the team outgrows a room. Or the company standardizes, which reaches further but costs speed and quality. Paris argues that generative AI opens a third way, which he calls semantic coordination. The context behind decisions, which used to live in people's heads and in slow-moving culture, is written into a shared layer that people and agents can both read. Agents act on it, and whatever fails gets revised.

Paris wrote the book from inside that change. He and a few friends founded the company ten years ago, and it has since served more than 1,500 companies, from small studios to large enterprises. Last year he handed daily management to his business partner to make time for strategy, and started delegating real work to agents. He then spent a year rebuilding ThinkingAI itself. The book is the field record of that year, including the places where it broke. He dictated the arguments and stories while AI drafted the prose for him to revise, chapter by chapter.

The book's answers are about how an organization works. They cover what gets written down, what gets delegated and how far, which layers of management survive, and what is left for people to decide. Its 276 pages and 13 chapters are organized around why an organization has to change, how to change and which tools to use. It also includes six tools a team can put to work right away, among them the Eight Delegation Questions, the four-rung Ladder of Trust, the Twelve Gates checklist and a transformation roadmap, each tied to the chapter that introduces it.

You can request a digital copy on the book's page now. The digital edition is meant for people running a transformation of their own, and we review every request and reply within three business days. It is one copy per person, for personal reading. The print edition is coming soon.
