FOR INSTRUCTORS

Built for instructors. By instructors.

Deep Thought was born in 2020, when the pandemic pushed technical training online. Faced with platforms that got in the way of effective training, our instructors decided to build something better: simple to use, easy to adapt and designed around the needs of the trainer. That principle still shapes Deep Thought today.

Most platforms treat content as something fixed, or something you work around.

Are you waiting on support tickets for content changes? Six-month waits for new scenarios? A supplier roadmap that has nothing to do with how you actually teach? Or are you managing everything yourself through scripts and hypervisor admin, which works until it doesn’t?

Deep Thought gives you the freedom and flexibility to just teach.

What it means in practice

Works at the speed of your thinking

Build a new virtual environment, adapt an existing one, or deploy a completely different approach to a scenario the same day you have the idea. No support ticket, no vendor involvement, no waiting.

Every session, exactly as planned

Every student receives an identical, freshly deployed environment so there is no inconsistency, no drift over time, and no unexplained differences between cohorts. When a student pushes the environment further than intended, a single click restores it, and the session continues without interruption.

Browser-based, no compromise

Two-way clipboard, high-performance remote desktop, the ability to install new software on VMs in seconds, and flexible file storage - all without leaving your browser.

A safe space to go further

Deep Thought provides a fully isolated environment where students can experiment, practise, and explore scenarios that would be unlawful or dangerous on a live network without any legal, compliance, or infrastructure risk.

Competitions and live exercises

Deep Thought also supports capture-the-flag events, red vs blue exercises, and inter-team competitions. Run them without asking anyone’s permission and without a separate infrastructure.

Gets better over time

Deep Thought is updated regularly, based on feedback from the instructors using it. We love making new features that make your life easier and your teaching better.
