FDE: The Guidance Book of Forward Deployed Engineer is an open Chinese-language book repository about delivering practical value from enterprise AI. It explains the Forward Deployed Engineer role as the bridge between a product’s capabilities and a customer’s real operational needs. The chapters follow a complete delivery journey, from selecting the right problem and winning a customer to deployment, renewal, expansion, and repeatable scaling. The work draws on primary materials, job descriptions, industry research, practitioner accounts, and more than one hundred documented company cases. Dedicated sections examine Palantir’s influence, modern AI companies, customer-facing engineering methods, metrics, and professional ethics. The repository provides each chapter as Markdown and also includes a combined PDF edition. Appendices organize measurements, notable teams, case references, and source documentation for further study.
