<\/p>\n

Good morning. I\u2019ve long thought of Daniel Dines as a kind of philosopher king in business. Growing up in Romania, the billionaire co-founder and CEO of UiPath wanted to be a novelist. Even after he\u2019d created a leading platform for robotic process automation, he\u2019d often start his day with a book, sometimes followed by a nap before turning on his computer. Whether giving advice to entrepreneurs or talking about founder mode, Dines will often insert references to writers like Friedrich Nietzsche or Jack London.<\/p>\n

So, when I learned that Dines has written a book called The Work That Remains with Claude and ChatGPT (which you can download here), I was intrigued to find out more. It\u2019s a book about how humans and AI will work together, with Dines outlining a model in which AI proposes, humans decide, and automation executes. It\u2019s 168 pages, around 40,000 words, and can of course be distilled to an AI summary or a haiku. Such are the wonders of technology.<\/p>\n

When speaking to Dines, I was less interested in his conclusion than how he arrived at it through AI. \u201cIt was really like a Socratic dialogue,\u201d he told me, with each session involving a series of hypotheses, challenges and instructions. \u201cI used two models and did adversarial prompts: This is the theory. Read this article. Create opposing views \u2026 The book grew at one point to be almost 100,000 words. AI is extremely verbose, so the real work was cutting it down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those interactions were intense but iterative, with his thesis taking shape over three years as he took time to reflect, observe, read, refine and run a business. \u201cWhen I started, I didn\u2019t have such a clear idea of where I wanted to land. The ideas I got came through the process of writing the book. Our company strategy, the book, they evolved together,\u201d he said. \u201cI had many evenings and mornings where I couldn\u2019t wait to wake up and write. I was in a complete state of flow. You have to be immersed and challenged and work together and consider it as a partner.\u201d<\/p>\n

And what did he learn about the limits of AI? First, that it\u2019s only as good as the data it\u2019s trained on, which makes it better at dealing with a known math problem than a novel idea. Second, that challenging feedback is critical for both AI and humans to avoid hallucinations and getting stuck in a rut. Thoughtful collaboration can work. \u201cI have ideas, but I don\u2019t have the time and the talent to put them on paper in a structure, in a manner that can be consumed by the public at large,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
