The Books
The books of the collection
Six AI business books — including the AI Chronicles sub-series
From Patrick's solo book to the trilogy co-written with Pascal Roche, six volumes form the non-fiction backbone of the collection. Each book is a standalone module — usable on its own — and a fragment of a larger map: what AI is doing to the present, how it redraws professions, and what survives when you practise it every day.

Voice in the AI era
Cloning, augmenting, resurrecting — a subtle craft
Author: Patrick de Carvalho
The human voice is the last frontier. ElevenLabs, Resemble, OpenAI Voice — in two years, cloning your voice has become trivial. This book tells what it changes for an entrepreneur, an author, a keynote speaker who decides to use their synthetic voice as an instrument rather than a shortcut. Patrick de Carvalho cloned his own in 2024 to produce the audiobook of his books. He documents the ethical trade-offs, the final quality, the cost, and the precise moment when the machine stops being a caricature and becomes an extension of self.

RAPID©
The 90-day method to integrate AI in SMEs
Authors: Patrick de Carvalho × Pascal Roche
Five letters, five steps, ninety days. RAPID© is the methodology Apps Velocity has deployed at over fifty SMEs to move from AI fog to use cases in production. This book is the book version of the programme: why ninety days, why this order, what executives almost always miss, what they always discover. Co-written by Patrick de Carvalho and Pascal Roche, co-founders of Apps Velocity. An operational manual, not an opinion piece.

The AI Chronicles
Sub-series — 2026 analysis + 2075 fictions
Authors: Patrick de Carvalho × Pascal Roche
Two titles, one hybrid format. Each volume blends a contemporary essay anchored in 2026 — Orange, WAYMA, Ningbo, ChatGPT, the RAPID© method — with two 2075 fictions, one dystopia and one utopia on the same theme. Co-written with Pascal Roche, co-founder of Apps Velocity. A sub-series designed as an editorial laboratory: analysis to understand the present, fiction to feel the future.

The AI Chronicles: Entrepreneurship in the AI era
Volume 1 — the augmented entrepreneur
Authors: Patrick de Carvalho × Pascal Roche
The first volume of the Chronicles. Patrick de Carvalho and Pascal Roche, co-founders of Apps Velocity, tell what AI is doing to entrepreneurship — for real, in 2026, in French SMEs and mid-market companies. Case studies Orange, WAYMA, Ningbo. ChatGPT anecdotes. RAPID© framework. Then two 2075 fictions: the dystopia of an executive replaced by their agent; the utopia of an executive who has learned to delegate what must be delegated, and to keep what must not be delegated.

The AI Chronicles — Cinema Special
Spin-off — sixty years of AI cinema, re-read
Authors: Patrick de Carvalho × Pascal Roche
The cinema spin-off of the AI Chronicles. Twenty films, sixty years of imagination, and one simple question: what did filmmakers get right, miss, or invent? From 2001: A Space Odyssey to The Creator, each long-form essay (3,500-5,000 words) maps a film like one maps a territory. Three meta-lessons close the volume: prophecies fulfilled, blind spots, disproportionate fears. A quick-access page exists at /cinema.

Code in the AI era
Programming when the machine programs
Author: Pascal Roche
Pascal Roche's book. When Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and their successors write 70% of the code of a feature, what does that change for a developer, a team, a CTO? Pascal Roche, co-founder of Apps Velocity and software architect since 2008, tells what the craft becomes when AI is no longer an autocomplete but a teammate. His own trade-offs, his misses, his moments of clarity. An author's book, signed by someone who practises, not someone who theorises.

LinkedIn in the AI era
22,600 followers, 0 hack — the slow method
Author: Patrick de Carvalho
Patrick de Carvalho built a 22,600-follower LinkedIn audience without growth hacks, paid virality, pods, or grey automation. A slow method, founded on writing, tone of voice, and the very precise use of AI for what it actually does well. This book is the opposite of a hack manual: it explains why hacks always cost more than they yield, and why the slow method — augmented by AI — beats the fast method at eighteen months.
- 🟡 Upcoming Upcoming
Construction in the AI era
Building, BTP, architecture — the resistant sector
Author: Patrick de Carvalho
Construction is the sector with the most to gain from AI — and the slowest to adopt it. Why? Patrick de Carvalho has supported around twenty French construction players in their AI transformation, from structural-work SMEs to development majors. This book tells what he has seen: cultural blockers, projects where AI gains 30% productivity, the tools that actually work (and the gadgets), and the next decade of a sector that represents 11% of French GDP.
