01Clearer requests, closer checking
Define an objective, provide relevant context and ask for a useful format. Learn how to write clear prompts, improve an answer through dialogue, compare it with sources and identify what still needs checking.

COMING SOON · ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Intelligence artificielle — L’IA, simplement
A forthcoming French guide to understanding and using AI
Understand AI. Take your first steps.
You hear about artificial intelligence everywhere, but where do you begin? This illustrated guide by Nicolas Marty moves from the foundations to practical projects and an introduction to agents. Learn to clarify a request, try a manageable task and examine the result. This page presents a forthcoming book in French.

INSIDE THE GUIDE
Approachable explanations. A method you can build.
An assistant can produce convincing writing without giving a correct answer. Everyday situations introduce what a model is, how it learns and what happens when we use it. Explanations, diagrams and a glossary introduce the vocabulary as it becomes useful. You do not need an IT background or advanced mathematics to begin.
01
02Seven projects to put ideas into practice
Turn a document into a discovery resource, prepare a brochure, organise sources or build a checkable spreadsheet. The projects then move towards a small application, a bounded agent task and an ongoing routine.
03A gradual introduction to agents
Explore what changes when an assistant uses tools and works through several steps. The guide addresses memory, sources and task boundaries, helping you define the expected outcome and retain control over its validation.
LEARN AI THROUGH PRACTICE
One manageable project, then the next.
Start with a task you already understand. Gather the relevant documents, explain what a useful result would look like and take time to check it. The seven projects connect this method with discovering, writing, organising, calculating, creating, delegating and following up. The aim is to develop reusable habits that extend beyond one tool or a ready-made prompt.
AN IDEA TO GET STARTED
An AI book for beginners and curious readers.
Follow the chapters in sequence or return to a particular question: understanding an error, framing a request, preparing sources or defining a task. Examples, explanatory diagrams and a glossary support the reading. The second part explores agents in greater depth, building on the foundations without expecting you to master everything at the start.
CONTINUE THE DISCOVERY
Understand artificial intelligence before automating a task
Choosing a beginner’s book on artificial intelligence means looking for reference points as well as examples. L’IA, simplement connects explanations with practical questions: which document should you provide, what should you ask and how do you decide whether a result is usable? This approach distinguishes well-written answers from verified information and explains why a useful outcome may require several exchanges.
Prompts are one part of the journey. The guide also addresses images, voice, documents, memory and resuming work. Its introduction to agents follows the same logic: define a limited mission, choose the sources and examine what has been produced. The French book is forthcoming; this English overview does not announce an English edition or a publication date.
BEFORE OPENING THE BOOK
Your questions.
When will the book be available?
The book is forthcoming. No publication date or preorder is announced on this page. A link to its Amazon edition will be added when a listing is available.
Do I need programming experience?
No. The opening explanations require neither an IT background nor advanced mathematics. Concepts are introduced progressively before the guide moves towards more advanced uses.
What are the seven projects?
A discovery resource based on a document, a useful brochure, an organised source folder, a checkable spreadsheet, a small application, a limited agent mission and a routine to develop over time. Each project involves defining and checking its outcome.
Is an English edition announced?
The forthcoming book is in French. This English presentation explains its content and publication status; no English edition is announced.
How is this different from Conversing with AI?
L’IA, simplement is a new book project, separate from the already published Conversing with AI. It combines model foundations, assistant use, seven projects and a section about agents. The related books below let you compare the presentations.
