OpenMAIC is an open-source AI platform developed by Tsinghua University that transforms any topic or document into an immersive, multi-agent learning experience — in just one click.
Upload a PDF or describe a topic, and OpenMAIC automatically orchestrates AI teachers, teaching assistants, and classmates to deliver fully interactive lessons with slides, quizzes, simulations, and real-time discussions. Built on cutting-edge large language model technology and validated with over 700 real students at Tsinghua University, OpenMAIC represents the next evolution of online education — from passive video lectures to active, personalized, and social AI-powered classrooms.

OpenMAIC addresses the fundamental challenges of online education through multi-agent AI collaboration, delivering benefits that traditional platforms simply cannot match.
Every student receives adaptive instruction carefully tailored to their individual pace, knowledge level, and learning style — powered by real-time AI assessment and continuous feedback loops. Unlike traditional one-size-fits-all approaches, OpenMAIC's AI agents dynamically adjust explanations, difficulty levels, and teaching strategies based on each student's performance and engagement, ensuring that no learner is left behind and advanced students are always challenged.
Multi-agent discussions, peer debates, and collaborative activities faithfully recreate the social dynamics of a real classroom, directly combating the isolation and disengagement that plague traditional online learning. Students interact with AI classmates who ask questions, challenge assumptions, and share different perspectives — creating a lively learning community that motivates students to participate actively rather than passively consuming content.
Transform any document or topic into a full, richly interactive lesson in minutes — not the weeks or months traditionally required. OpenMAIC dramatically reduces both the cost and time of high-quality course production, making it possible for individual educators, small institutions, and organizations with limited resources to create engaging, professional-grade educational content that rivals what large production teams would spend thousands of dollars and weeks of effort to build.
OpenMAIC is fully open-source and designed for self-deployment, giving you complete control over your educational platform and student data. Bring your own LLM API keys from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, or DeepSeek, and customize every aspect of the platform — from the AI agent personalities and teaching styles to the user interface and grading criteria. The open architecture ensures you are never locked into a single vendor or proprietary ecosystem.
From one-click lesson generation to multi-agent classroom discussions, OpenMAIC reimagines online education through AI-powered multi-agent collaboration. Every feature is designed to create engaging, personalized, and interactive learning experiences that go far beyond traditional video lectures.
Upload a PDF document or describe a topic in natural language, and OpenMAIC generates a complete interactive lesson with slides, voice narration, quizzes, and hands-on activities — all in just a few minutes. The two-stage pipeline first creates a structured lesson outline, then produces rich multimedia content for each scene.
OpenMAIC creates a dynamic classroom environment populated by multiple AI agents — teachers with distinct teaching styles and personalities, teaching assistants who provide supplementary help, and AI classmates who participate in discussions and debates. This multi-agent approach recreates the social dynamics of a real classroom.
The platform automatically generates quiz questions aligned with learning objectives. An AI grading system provides instant, detailed feedback on student answers, identifies knowledge gaps, and suggests personalized learning paths to help every student master the material at their own pace.
AI agents deliver lessons with natural text-to-speech narration, making content more engaging and accessible. Students can interact with the classroom using voice input through automatic speech recognition, enabling hands-free participation in discussions and Q&A sessions.
OpenMAIC generates HTML-based interactive simulations that bring abstract concepts to life through hands-on experimentation. A shared collaborative whiteboard allows AI agents and students to draw diagrams, write formulas, and visualize ideas together in real time.
Download completed lessons as PowerPoint presentations (.pptx) for offline use, or export them as self-contained interactive HTML pages. Through the OpenClaw integration, OpenMAIC connects with over 20 messaging platforms including Feishu, Slack, and Telegram, bringing AI-powered education wherever your team communicates.
Traditional online education suffers from fundamental limitations that OpenMAIC's multi-agent approach directly addresses.
Traditional MOOCs deliver identical video lectures to every student regardless of their background, learning speed, or knowledge level. Students who fall behind have no way to catch up, while advanced students are held back by content that is too basic. OpenMAIC solves this with adaptive AI agents that personalize the learning experience in real time.
Watching pre-recorded videos is a passive experience that leads to low completion rates — often below 10% for online courses. Without the ability to ask questions, participate in discussions, or collaborate with peers, students quickly lose motivation. OpenMAIC's multi-agent classroom creates an active, social learning environment where students engage with AI teachers and classmates.
Creating high-quality online courses traditionally requires weeks of planning, recording, editing, and post-production work by teams of educators, designers, and video producers. This high cost makes quality education inaccessible to many. OpenMAIC reduces course creation time from weeks to minutes, democratizing access to engaging educational content.
OpenMAIC uses a sophisticated two-stage pipeline powered by LangGraph to orchestrate multiple specialized AI agents. In the first stage, the system analyzes your input and generates a structured lesson plan. In the second stage, multiple agents collaborate to produce rich interactive content, deliver the lesson, and engage with students in real time.
The Lesson Planner agent deeply analyzes uploaded documents or topic descriptions to generate comprehensive, structured lesson outlines. It identifies key learning objectives, breaks content into logical scenes, sequences activities for optimal knowledge retention, and ensures the lesson follows proven pedagogical principles.
Working from the lesson plan, the Content Generator produces rich interactive slides with smooth animations, detailed voice narration scripts, carefully crafted quiz questions with multiple difficulty levels, and HTML-based interactive simulations — transforming each scene into a complete multimedia learning experience.
The AI Teacher agent delivers lessons with distinct teaching styles and personalities, explains complex concepts using analogies and examples, responds thoughtfully to student questions, and guides classroom discussions with both empathy and deep subject-matter expertise. Each teacher adapts its approach based on student responses and engagement levels.
The AI Teaching Assistant works alongside the teacher to provide supplementary explanations for students who need extra help, manage quiz administration and scoring, offer encouraging real-time feedback on student performance, and proactively identify and assist students who may be falling behind or struggling with specific concepts.
AI Classmate agents bring the classroom to life by actively participating in discussions, asking thought-provoking questions, presenting different perspectives, and engaging in structured roundtable debates. These peer agents create a vibrant, social learning environment that combats the isolation typically associated with online education.
OpenMAIC has been rigorously tested at Tsinghua University with real students across multiple university-level courses, including courses on artificial intelligence and study methodology. The results demonstrate that AI-powered multi-agent classrooms can match and even exceed the effectiveness of traditional instruction.
