OpenMAIC: Turn any topic into an interactive AI classroom
Added · Updated
Made by MAIC
View profile on GitHub (opens in a new tab)Turn a topic or document into slides, quizzes and discussions led by AI teachers.
For learners who want an interactive lesson on any topic.
What it does
OpenMAIC is a web app where several AI agents work together to build a lesson from your topic or uploaded material. It generates slides, quizzes, interactive simulations and project-based activities. AI teachers and classmates speak aloud, draw on a whiteboard and discuss with you in real time. Lessons export as PowerPoint, one offline web page, or a classroom ZIP.
How to use it
Try the live demo linked from the GitHub page. To run a local development copy, clone the repository, install with pnpm, add a model provider key in .env.local, start the local database with Docker, run the development server, then open localhost port 3000, enter a topic and click Generate.
Common use cases
- Type a topic you want to learn and click Generate; AI teachers build a complete multi-scene classroom with slides and quizzes.
- Upload a PDF or Office document of course notes and get a lesson built from that material, with AI classmates to discuss it.
- Export a finished classroom as a .pptx file that keeps every scene, or as a single offline .html file that plays the whole lesson.
Can I use this?
Requirements Copy the example settings files, add one provider key such as an OpenAI key, and set the database address. Providers include OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Ollama and any OpenAI-compatible service.
Caveat Classroom chat needs a model that supports tool calling, meaning it can use built-in actions. Licensed under MIT.
Worth knowing Generation fails if no AI model is configured, and the server will not start without a PostgreSQL database address.
