Welcome to the Leanpub Launch video for AI Generalist Engineer: From AI User to AI Builder: A Practical Guide to Building Enterprise AI Skills https://leanpub.com/aigeneralistengineer by Padmanabham Venkiteela! 0:00 Introduction to the book and the AI Generalist Engineer concept 0:49 No-code and low-code approach: building with AI without programming 1:35 Who the book is for: engineers, architects, consultants, and students 2:24 Why discipline and structure matter more in the fastest-churning technology wave 4:42 Part one: fundamentals of enterprise AI, LLMs, and prompt engineering 5:32 Part two: grounding enterprise knowledge and building RAG systems 6:21 Part three: Model Context Protocol (MCP) for connecting enterprise systems 7:11 Part four: building AI agents, multi-agent orchestration, and voice agents 8:50 Enterprise architecture, security, governance, cost control, and ROI 10:26 Three ways to read the book and the companion open-source GitHub repository About the Book Master the skills needed to thrive in the AI era. AI is transforming every profession, but knowing how to use AI tools is no longer enough. The future belongs to AI Generalists—professionals who understand technology, business, architecture, automation, and AI systems well enough to design, build, and lead AI-powered solutions. This book provides a practical roadmap for software engineers, architects, technical leaders, consultants, and technology professionals who want to evolve from AI users into AI builders. Inside you'll learn: • The AI Generalist mindset • Enterprise AI architecture • Prompt engineering beyond basics • AI agents and multi-agent systems • MCP and modern AI protocols • RAG architectures • AI orchestration • Enterprise integration • Responsible AI • Career strategies for the next decade Rather than focusing on a single AI tool, this book teaches enduring principles that will remain valuable as AI About the Author Padmanabham Venkiteela is an Enterprise AI Architect, researcher, technical author, and international conference speaker with nearly two decades of experience designing and modernizing enterprise technology platforms.
