Phonlawat Sirajindapirom, 16, founder of the AI education platform RevisionSuccess, shares insights during the fourth episode of Bangkok Post’s Mind the Gap. |
At just 16 years old, Phonlawat “Beam” Sirajindapirom is already reshaping the future of education with a clear vision and a strong voice. In the fourth episode of the Bangkok Post’s "Mind the Gap" series, Beam sat across from seasoned professional Aaron Rigby of Taboola to discuss artificial intelligence, startup challenges, and the evolving definition of success. But it was Beam’s perspective that stole the spotlight.
As the founder of RevisionSuccess, a student-led AI platform, Beam has created a one-stop solution for modern learners. Unlike many fragmented digital tools, his platform integrates AI-powered quizzes, flashcards, and tutoring into a single seamless experience. Designed by a student for students, RevisionSuccess aims to break down barriers and increase accessibility in education—no paywalls, no compromises.
Beam also addressed the risks of relying too heavily on AI, particularly in a learning context. He emphasized the need for students to think critically about the reliability of machine-generated content and advocated for AI to be a support tool, not a replacement for thought. His clarity on this balance shows a maturity beyond his years and a commitment to responsible innovation.

When asked about the hurdles of launching a startup at such a young age, Beam didn’t downplay the difficulties. He spoke openly about the challenge of gaining trust in the education sector and building a team without traditional funding. Yet he sees these challenges as opportunities for growth. With no pressure to chase profits, Beam and his team have focused on learning and building something meaningful from the ground up.
What stood out most during the conversation was Beam’s unwavering belief that youth is not a barrier but an asset. He encouraged other young people to act on their ideas now, not to wait for permission or the "right" time. His message was simple and powerful: Age does not limit potential—purpose and action do.
As artificial intelligence continues to change industries, Phonlawat Sirajindapirom is proving that the future belongs not just to the technologically skilled, but to those who lead with insight, courage, and values. Beam isn’t just closing the gap between youth and experience. He’s redefining what it means to lead.
