Front cover of AI Is a Spirit Beast by Abhishek Abhi Thakur

AN ADVENTURE WITH SOMETHING TO TEACH

A false promise. A bill counted twice.
A reply that won’t stop.

As a town prepares for its lantern fair, the Nameless Traveller and his little AI companion discover that a confident answer is not always a correct one.

Each chapter brings a story, a plain-language field guide, and an exercise. You’ll learn to write clearer prompts, check answers, build an assistant, and understand agents and automation. Later chapters explore robotics, AGI, consciousness, and quantum computing without treating speculation as fact.

FIVE FINISH LINES YOU CAN SEE

Close the book with something you made.

PROJECT 01

Your own tutor session

Learn one idea, explain it in your own words, and try a fresh question.

PROJECT 02

A checked bills-and-stock sheet

Turn fictional bills into rows. Check totals, spot duplicates, and calculate stock.

PROJECT 03

A creative starter pack

Make a short script, a three-shot storyboard, and an image brief.

PROJECT 04

Your first assistant card

Write reusable instructions that turn meeting notes into a checked task list.

PROJECT 05

A workflow you have tested

Connect the steps manually and practise what happens when information is missing.

Start with fictional information, one suitable chat tool, and somewhere to save your work. Paid automation and image generation are optional.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

It began with a question.

Abhishek “Abhi” Thakur is the founder of Herb Immortal, a venture exploring health, wellness, and technology. After many years in Canada, he returned to Himachal Pradesh, India.

His early conversations with AI grew into creative projects, useful assistants, and AHI—Advanced Herbal Intelligence. In his first book, he writes as a learner and builder who wants technical ideas to feel approachable.

The book combines personal recollections, fictional adventures, and practical exercises. Its text and illustrations were developed with AI tools and selected, revised, and arranged under the author’s direction.

MEET THE OPTIONAL COMPANION

A little help, one question at a time.

Public AHI access is not available yet.

AHI is a private learning-companion prototype. The book’s interior QR code opens our access-status page. When public access is verified, that page will explain how to open AHI and begin a lesson.

The front-cover code and phone are an illustration. All five book projects can be completed without the companion. Account requirements and usage limits may apply when access becomes available.

Before you begin.

Who is the book for?

Teenagers and adults who want a friendly introduction to using AI. Shopkeepers, creators, learners, and people organising everyday work will find familiar examples. Younger readers can learn with adult support and must follow each service’s age requirements.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. The five core projects begin with ordinary language and manual steps. A small coding experiment is an optional bonus.

Does the QR code unlock a working chatbot today?

No. It currently leads to the companion’s status page. Public AHI access remains pending. We do not promise free, unlimited, or permanent access.

Where can I buy the book?

Publication is being prepared. We will add purchase links here when a live listing is available. There is no preorder checkout on this website.

Is the spirit beast a claim that AI is alive?

No. AHI’s appearance in the story is a metaphor. The book distinguishes AI capabilities from consciousness and teaches readers to check important answers.
