Over time, it has evolved from providing interactive online learning services and online vocational training to developing AI-enabled products that address communication skills and personal development needs. The Company highlights a strategic pivot from traditional online training toward AI technology and smart education services.
Business focus and evolution
In earlier descriptions, Skillful Craftsman is presented as an education technology company that provides interactive online vocational training and virtual simulation experimental training courses, contributing to education reform and development for labor employment in China. It has also operated an Education Cloud Platform under Wuxi Kingway Technology Co., Ltd., offering online skills training to users in the People's Republic of China.
More recent Company statements emphasize new business initiatives centered on AI and digital technology in education. These initiatives include building intelligent learning platforms and providing education technology consulting services. The Company notes that it has executed various technology service projects for private companies and academic institutions in China and intends to use this experience and its relationships as it expands its AI-focused activities.
AI communication and communication skills learning (CSL) products
A notable area of development for Skillful Craftsman is its communication skills learning (CSL) product line. The Company has announced plans to develop a series of CSL applications, referred to as "Assistant," aimed at enhancing users' communication and interpersonal skills through personalized guidance and support. These applications are intended to help users communicate effectively in real-life social scenarios by considering contextual understanding, relationship analysis, communication goal planning and expression strategy generation.
The Company has launched a communication enrichment app called "Sesame Chat" ("Zhi Ma Gou Tong" in Chinese) on iOS platforms in mainland China. Sesame Chat employs proprietary AI technology to analyze communication contexts and relationship dynamics. Users can upload chat screenshots or describe communication situations, select goals such as resolving conflict or improving professional rapport, and receive phrase-level suggestions with customizable tone options. The Company describes core functionalities such as relationship analysis, scenario-specific strategies for numerous social situations, and an adaptive feedback system that adjusts recommendations based on user responses.
Skillful Craftsman has further explained that Sesame Chat is powered by a Multi-Agent System (MAS) architecture. In Company materials, this MAS is described as a set of specialized AI agents that collaborate to analyze conversational styles, decode emotional cues, retrieve relevant frameworks from cultural or contextual databases, generate tailored response options, and validate quality. The Company presents this as part of its CSL assistant series, intended to provide customized and effective communication recommendations across dating, professional and social scenarios.
Strategic upgrade to an AI communication intelligence platform
The Company has announced a strategic upgrade of Sesame Chat from an AI communication assistance tool to what it calls an "AI communication intelligence platform". In its description, this evolution is intended to empower personal and professional development by addressing what it terms a "communication deficit" faced by many users in high-value communication scenarios. A key concept introduced by the Company is a "Scenario Intelligence Agent" that aims to understand high-risk, high-value communication contexts and provide forward-looking communication strategies and behavioral recommendations, rather than only text optimization.
Skillful Craftsman characterizes this upgrade as part of its effort to elevate AI from an efficiency tool to a means of personal empowerment, with a focus on "communication intelligence" as a potential growth area. The Company states that it plans to focus on vertical-specific large models and scenario-aware AI technology, using interaction data to strengthen its technological position and attract users.
Digital transformation and international initiatives
Beyond its AI communication products, Skillful Craftsman continues to describe its core mission as digital transformation of educational institutions. Its intelligent learning platforms and teaching management systems are intended to support more effective teaching and stronger educational communities. The Company has indicated that it provides technology services such as customized software development for private companies and academic institutions in China.
Skillful Craftsman has also reported steps toward international expansion in skills training. The Company announced a plan approved by its board of directors to establish a wholly owned subsidiary in the United States to expand into the international new skills training market. In addition, it has described collaborations through its Singapore subsidiary, Le First Skilland Pte. Ltd., including agreements related to recruiting and training Chinese healthcare professionals for placement in Singaporean hospitals and providing specialized training for foreign nurses preparing for the Singapore Nursing Board Registered Nurse Licensure Exam. These activities are presented by the Company as aligned with its focus on workforce-related education and training.
Domain migration and AI-focused positioning
As part of its strategic shift, Skillful Craftsman has announced a website domain migration from a prior domain to a new ".ai" domain. The Company explains this change as reflecting its pivot from online training toward educational technology innovation and artificial intelligence training, and as reinforcing its intention to act as an AI technology provider in the education industry. This domain change is described as consistent with the gradual launch of communication skills learning products based on AI vertical models and with its move into AI-enabled smart education services.
