3D mockup of the book Outsize — by Jonas Wärngård

Everyone is talking about AI. Few know how it actually moves the needle.

A study from METR found that developers using AI without structure became 19% slower — even though they thought they were going faster.

It's not the tool that's the problem. It's that most teams jump straight into AI with no context, no structure and no plan for how it fits with the work they already do.

This book is about what actually works — in e-commerce teams running live, not in slide decks from consultants.

What you'll get

What you'll learn

  • The AI maturity pyramid in five levels — from tools to autonomy — and how to take your team up the ladder one step at a time.
  • Why context is the most important factor (and why more tools are rarely the answer).
  • Timeboxed requirements: how to steer AI projects toward outcomes instead of specifications.
  • Persistence as a cultural norm — the missed lever that decides whether the transformation succeeds.
  • Concrete cases from Klarna, Shopify and Nordic e-commerce companies that have actually done it.

For people who lead e-commerce — or build it

The book is written for CEOs, CTOs, e-commerce leads and product managers who want to understand AI for real — not as a buzzword but as an operational force.

You won't get technical deep dives or prompts to copy. You'll get a framework to assess where your team stands today, what the next step is, and how to avoid the pitfalls that cost others 12 wasted months.
