Long biography

For articles and programmes.

Chris Bleeker is a Dutch AI advisor, TEDxEindhoven speaker and founder of Co-Creators.ai. He works with entrepreneurs and teams that want AI to strengthen human judgement instead of replace it.

After years in technology, growth and digital product work, Chris began building AI partners with memory, context and a clear working identity. His TEDxEindhoven talk, “Traveling through time together with AI”, explores how AI can amplify curiosity and help people see new possibilities. He later joined TEDxEindhoven as an AI advisor.

In 2026, Chris introduced Software as a Community (SaaC): a post-SaaS model in which customers keep a working local software foundation while an optional practitioner community funds shared updates, knowledge and implementation support. The AI Dashboard is the founding reference for the model: local-first, AI-agnostic and community-led.
