Biography

Antti Innanen is the CEO of Dot, a legal design consultancy, and LEGIT, an AI consultancy. He specializes in making complex systems more human-centered and is at the forefront of applying AI in professional services. He frequently writes about AI, legal design, and the future of work.

 “Teaching lawyers how to use AI has shown me one thing: better prompts come from better thinking. PROMPTED captures that perfectly. Innanen doesn’t just teach techniques. He teaches the mindset shift professionals need to actually work with AI. If you want to move beyond surface-level prompting and learn how to think alongside AI, this is the book.” --Laura Jeffords Greenberg, Head of Wordsmith AI Academy

“Antti is a maverick thinker who turns every challenge into a playground. In PROMPTED, he brings his curiosity, design flair, and love of gamification to AI, showing that prompting is about thinking differently and collaborating with machines in ways Google searches can’t match. If you think prompting is simple because it’s ‘just natural language,’ let Antti reveal what’s truly possible. His quirky brain makes complex concepts feel like a game you want to play. This book is a practical, upbeat invitation to experiment, iterate, and find your own style with AI. Learning should be fun—and this book proves it.” --Alex Herrity, Director of Legal Solutions at Adidas

“I’m generally skeptical of AI mindset/prompting books. Most are too vague, too glossy, or too detached from real workflows. PROMPTED is different in one important way: it’s genuinely accessible for people who feel overwhelmed by AI and just need a clear on-ramp. What Innanen does well is remove the fear. He frames AI as play, experimentation, and conversation. I appreciate the intention: this book doesn’t talk down to people. It invites them in. Uf you’re someone who wants to use AI but has no idea where to start, this is the friendliest guide I’ve seen.” --Anna Guo, Legal AI Researcher, Founder of Legalbenchmarks.ai
