SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skillful Craftsman Education Technology Ltd. (NASDAQ:EDTK), a company specializing in educational technology innovation, artificial intelligence skills training, and the digital transformation of educational institutions, announced that its new app product, "Sesame Chat" in English ("Zhi Ma Gou Tong" in Chinese), has undergone a strategic upgrade. This upgrade marks the evolution of Zhi Ma Gou Tong (Sesame Chat) from an AI communication assistance tool to an "AI communication intelligence platform" that empowers personal and professional development in depth, aiming to capture the vast market driven by the demand for efficient communication.

In today's fast-paced digital age, communication has become a critical driver of productivity. Whether it's delivering key speech, securing resources in the workplace, or building and maintaining relationships in personal life, countless users face a significant "communication deficit". EDTK has identified this challenge and, through this strategic upgrade, has introduced a ai based solution to its users.

Unlike most AI tools in the industry, which remain at the text optimization level, the core innovation of the new Zhi Ma Gou Tong (Sesame Chat) lies in its "Scenario Intelligence Agent". This agent can deeply understand high-risk, high-value communication scenarios, no longer simply "polishing" language, but providing users with forward-looking communication strategies and behavioral recommendations. This means that whether facing complex managing upward communications scenarios or navigating tricky interpersonal dynamics, Zhi Ma Gou Tong (Sesame Chat) serves as an AI advisor.

EDTK's Chief Product Officer Mr. Ma Jie stated, "What we are launching is not a simple product update, but an entirely new category. EDTK is elevating the application of AI from an ‘efficiency tool' to a strategic level of ‘personal empowerment.' We firmly believe that ‘communication intelligence' is a huge potential market, and the evolution of Zhi Ma Gou Tong (Sesame Chat) is our key strategic move to tap into this market and build a strong competitive advantage. Our goal is to make Zhi Ma Gou Tong (Sesame Chat) an indispensable intelligent partner for every individual seeking self-improvement in the future. EDTK will focus on upgrading its vertical-specific large models and scenario-aware AI technology, aiming to leverage increased interaction data to build a technological moat, thereby attracting more users and creating a virtuous cycle."
