Who We Are
Arkand AI was founded by Jake Woodworth. Everything we do is shaped by a principle from Jake's mentor, an ex-Apple leader and artificial intelligence startup founder: 'Our job is to make employees' lives better.' That belief guides every project.
Jake has been teaching people to use these tools since before most companies had a policy for it. At Elizabethtown College, he designed and co-taught an honors course using the Princeton Precept System alongside a university professor. His senior thesis on leadership development was presented at the National Collegiate Honors Council, where the audience was more interested in his methodology than the research itself.
Jake was the first employee at Carbon Technology Group, an artificial intelligence startup where he works across customer success and quality assurance on enterprise voice agent systems. Real products handling real customer interactions at scale.
He has trained everyone from university faculty to senior military and executive leadership on practical adoption. He has advised veteran executive coaches on integrating new tools into their practices. He cares more about finding the right solution than selling a particular tool. Sometimes artificial intelligence is the right fit, sometimes it is not. Either way, our job is to help you find the answer.

"Seldom has there been a student who has embraced an interdisciplinary liberal arts education in becoming an informed, responsible, self-directed learner. This past semester we designed and co-taught an honors history course, basing it on the Princeton University Precept System where the class is led by the professor assisted by an advanced undergraduate student. As always, Jake exceeded expectations. It has been wonderful collaborating with Jake on this and so many other projects. Jake studied how to utilize AI strategically and ethically. To this end he started his own business, Arkand AI, and has been steadily engaged in custom AI consulting for several clients."
