Confidently Wrong: A Novel on How AI Agents Really Work

By Ritesh Modi

Everyone's talking about AI agents. Almost no one understands them.

Confidently Wrong is a novel that cracks the subject wide open. At the fictional company Cogentic, every employee is secretly powered by the same dazzling-but flawed-AI brain. When new hire Newt starts pulling threads, each overconfident answer unravels into a hard-won lesson: planning, memory, retrieval, security, cost, drift, safe deployment, and more.

Part workplace comedy, part field guide, it's rigorous, funny, and impossible to put down. Turn the last page and you'll be the person in the room who can explain how production AI agents really work-and why they can never be left on autopilot.
