About the School
Teaching AI honestly,
one step at a time
Promptly was built on the idea that AI development should be learnable by anyone willing to think carefully and practise consistently.
Back to HomeOur Story
How Promptly began
Promptly opened its first cohort in Khon Kaen in early 2023. A small group of software developers and educators noticed that most available AI courses either assumed heavy coding knowledge or skipped the technical side entirely, leaving a gap for people who wanted to understand and build with language models in a methodical way.
The founding team spent several months designing a three-track structure where each level builds directly on the previous. The goal was not to compress AI into a weekend workshop, but to give learners enough time to absorb, try things, make mistakes, and ask questions before moving forward.
Today the school operates fully online. Students join from across Thailand and occasionally from other countries in the region. The language of instruction is English, which mirrors how most AI tooling and documentation is written.
Our Mission
What we are trying to do
Promptly exists to make AI development approachable for people with curiosity and a willingness to work through material carefully. We do not promise employment outcomes, credentials that open doors, or shortcuts to expertise. What we offer is a well-structured environment with honest feedback.
Our courses favour depth over breadth. A student who finishes all three tracks will have worked on real projects, received written feedback from a mentor, and produced a portfolio piece. That is more useful than completing ten surface-level modules.
We also take seriously the responsibility side of AI work — evaluation, documentation, and thinking about what a system actually does before shipping it. These are covered not as optional extras, but as core parts of the curriculum.
The People
Who teaches and guides
Apirak Suwannarat
Course Director
Apirak spent eight years building software in Bangkok before shifting focus to curriculum design. He wrote the Track 01 and 02 materials and oversees mentor feedback across all cohorts.
Nattawan Phomma
Lead Mentor, Track 03
Nattawan holds a background in applied mathematics and has worked on AI evaluation projects for two regional technology firms. She guides capstone students through project scoping and documentation.
Korn Thanakit
Curriculum Editor
Korn reviews and updates all course materials each quarter. His focus is on keeping examples and tooling references current as the AI development landscape continues to move quickly.
How We Work
Standards we hold ourselves to
Structured Progression
Each track builds on the one before. Students do not skip foundational material, even when the foundation seems simple at first glance.
Human Feedback
Project work in Tracks 02 and 03 receives written feedback from a mentor, not automated scoring. We read what you build.
Quarterly Material Reviews
Course content is reviewed every three months. Outdated examples and deprecated tools are replaced before they become a source of confusion.
Responsible AI in the Core
Safety considerations, evaluation methods, and honest documentation are part of the curriculum from Track 01, not added at the end.
Student Data Protection
Enrolment data and project submissions are handled with care. We do not share student information with third parties for marketing or advertising.
Clear Communication
Course outcomes, timelines, and pricing are stated plainly. Students should know what they are signing up for before they pay.
About the Field
AI development as a learnable craft
Working with AI systems is increasingly part of how software is designed, tested, and shipped. Language models in particular have changed what is possible for small teams, individual developers, and non-specialists who want to build tools that respond intelligently to text. Understanding how to write clear instructions, how to test for unexpected behaviour, and how to keep a system within useful limits are practical skills that transfer across many contexts.
Promptly approaches this as a craft: something that takes time, practice, and honest assessment of what is working and what is not. The three tracks are designed to move from conceptual understanding to applied building to careful, documented engineering. Each level introduces new complexity only when the previous level is reasonably solid.
Thailand's technology sector continues to develop, and demand for people who can design and implement AI-assisted applications is part of that broader shift. Promptly is not positioned as a pathway to any specific job, but the skills covered — prompt design, application architecture, evaluation, and responsible documentation — are genuinely useful in a range of professional settings.
The school is based in Khon Kaen, a city in the northeast of Thailand with a growing university and technology community. Operating online allows Promptly to serve students across the country and region without requiring travel or relocation.
