Synopsis

Curious about AI agents? Start with something useful.

AI assistants can help you prepare for meetings, organize information, research a question, and draft a message. Some can also use tools and take action on your behalf. Understanding what to try and how much control to give them is the next step.

The Agent Shift: A Practical Guide to AI Agents for Everyday Life and Work helps you explore these possibilities through plain-language explanations, practical instructions, and small exercises.

Written especially for readers 40 and up, this guide introduces ChatGPT, Claude, OpenClaw, Hermes, and other tools. It explains the choices behind them without assuming you already understand the terminology.

Inside, you’ll discover how to:

• Choose between a paid assistant and an agent you manage yourself.

• Understand subscriptions, token charges, and the costs beyond the advertised price.

• Install OpenClaw or Hermes and follow basic commands.

• Find memory and configuration files, make backups, and prepare for updates.

• Explore local models and understand the computer resources they need.

• Try useful projects with clear goals, spending limits, and results you can check.

• Protect private information and decide which actions should require your approval.

The book also explores personality, reliability, useful skills, email connections, and what the next few years of AI agents might bring.

Drawing on his background in cybersecurity and technology leadership, Mat Bentolila offers a practical perspective on experimenting with AI while keeping responsibility and judgment in human hands.

Begin with one task. Understand what happened. Build from there.
