OpenMAIC
Officially listedTsinghua University's open-source multi-agent AI platform that generates interactive classroom learning experiences.
OpenMAIC
OpenMAIC is an open-source AI interactive classroom platform developed by Tsinghua University's MAIC team that turns a topic or document into an immersive multi-agent learning experience with AI teachers and AI students in one click. The platform has been published in a computer science journal, has earned 4.7k GitHub stars, and is fully open source under AGPL-3.0.
Core Capabilities
- One-click course generation: Automatically generate complete interactive course content from a topic description or PDF document
- Multi-agent classroom: AI teachers and AI students hold real-time discussions and interactions, simulating a real classroom environment
- Rich scenario types: Supports narrated slides, interactive quizzes, HTML simulators, and project-based learning
- Smart whiteboard and voice: AI agents can draw diagrams and narrate concepts through TTS voice
- Flexible export: Export to editable PowerPoint (.pptx) or interactive HTML pages
- Multi-platform integration: Through the OpenClaw integration, generate classrooms from Feishu, Slack, Telegram, Discord, and 20+ other messaging apps
Use Cases Educators quickly producing interactive teaching content, developers building custom teaching platforms, researchers exploring multi-agent education systems, companies rapidly creating internal training courses, and self-learners generating personalized study materials.
Unique Advantages Unlike commercial products such as Khan Academy AI Tutor and Duolingo Max, OpenMAIC is fully open source and supports generating complete courses from scratch rather than only providing tutoring. Its multi-agent collaboration model simulates a complete classroom environment, and export to standard formats makes it easy to use in traditional teaching settings.
Editor's Review Tsinghua University's academic background and journal publication ensure technical reliability, and 4.7k GitHub stars show strong community recognition. Although configuring LLM API keys creates a technical hurdle, for technical users and education innovators this is a highly innovative, excellent tool. Support for multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepSeek) makes it very flexible.

FAQ
Is OpenMAIC free?
Completely free and open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. You can self-host or use the official hosted version (access code required) at no cost.
What are OpenMAIC's main features?
Core features include one-click interactive course generation, multi-agent classroom simulation, slides/quizzes/simulators/project-based learning scenarios, a smart whiteboard with voice narration, and export to PowerPoint or HTML.
What does OpenMAIC require to set up?
You need to configure at least one LLM provider's API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and DeepSeek are supported). It can be deployed with one click on Vercel or as a containerized Docker deployment.
How does OpenMAIC differ from Khan Academy AI Tutor?
OpenMAIC is fully open source and can generate complete courses from scratch, while Khan Academy is a commercial closed-source product that only offers tutoring. OpenMAIC uses multi-agent collaboration to simulate a full classroom rather than a single AI tutor.
Is OpenMAIC suitable for non-technical users?
You can use the official hosted version (access code required), but you need to understand LLM API configuration. For users with no technical background, the learning curve is fairly steep; it is better suited to educators with some technical foundation.
Can courses generated with OpenMAIC be used commercially?
The open-source version uses the AGPL-3.0 license and can be used freely. For a commercial license or closed-source use, contact the Tsinghua team (thu_maic@tsinghua.edu.cn) to obtain commercial authorization.
What languages does OpenMAIC support?
The platform provides full internationalization support with a multilingual interface. The language of generated course content depends on the input content and the LLM model used.
