Our Mission
We exist to make AI adoption smarter, more ethical, and built to last—always with people at the center. Through intentional guidance and collaborative strategy—within our collective and alongside our clients—we help organizations adopt AI with clarity, responsibility, and real impact.
Our Focus Areas
AI Awareness & Advocacy
We are active listeners and learners within our community—gathering insights, identifying needs, and staying closely attuned to the evolving landscape of Generative AI. Every member of the Co-Crafted Collective is deeply involved in the AI in FW community, actively contributing to its growth and momentum. Our advocacy extends beyond conversation—we lead and participate in thought leadership, help attract meaningful opportunities to our region, and support other AI groups and initiatives.
AI Literacy & Education
We craft tailored education solutions across all areas of AI—from change management and business development to decision-making, automation, and data-cleaning. Our work spans industries including marketing, manufacturing, healthcare, and more, and addresses both the technical and human sides—including emotional well-being and mindset shifts. Whether working independently or collaboratively, Co-Crafted members deliver custom workshops and training experiences for all stages of learning—from beginner to advanced.
AI Adoption Strategy
AI adoption is never a straight line—and this is exactly where our collective thrives. With a powerhouse of diverse expertise and extensive shared knowledge, we craft smart, scalable solutions for complex, real-world challenges. Our members bring deep experience across disciplines, industries, and functions—giving us the rare ability to meet organizations wherever they are in their AI journey. From initial exploration to enterprise-wide integration, we design future-forward roadmaps, and build the systems and support needed to move with confidence, clarity, and results that last.
Leadership, Vision & Support
We don’t just advise leaders—we stand beside them. At Co-Crafted, we support executives, boards, and decision-makers through the complexity of AI transformation with a grounded and realistic perspective, strategic clarity, practical advice, and an unwavering partnership. Our members are known and trusted—not only for their expertise, but for their integrity.
That's why they're Co-Crafters.
A Message From the Founder
Angie Carel
When I first stepped into AI consulting, I did what most are doing—I went solo. I built frameworks, advised clients, led workshops, and did my best to keep up with the pace of change.
But a couple of years in I realized this was growing way bigger than me—and way faster. And in surrounding myself with high-level thinkers and brilliant consultants, I may have stumbled into reimagining the future of business models.
What I needed—and what I saw others needing too (though few were willing to admit it)—was help.
That’s what sparked the idea for Co-Crafted:
A trusted group of successful, kind, and deeply generous experts—working independently, yet together.
​
People who bring different areas of expertise and diverse perspectives to AI Adoption—but are united by a shared passion for doing it the right way. The human way.
This isn’t business as usual.
It’s not just a network. Not collaboration for collaboration’s sake.
It’s a collective. We know that we’ll go farther when we pool our strengths—not when we compete.
​
So, even though we're all just doin' our own thing, we're in a collective, together.
And together, we support our clients at an unprecedented level of value.
Together, we offer each other enormous support and perspective.
And together, we’re shaping the future of AI.
—Angie
