What OpenMAIC is
OpenMAIC is an open-source AI platform developed by the THU MAIC team at Tsinghua University. It aims to turn online education from passive video lectures into active, personalized, and social AI-driven classrooms. Using large language models and multiple agents, it can generate a complete interactive course from any topic description or uploaded document. Features include one-click course generation, slide lectures with voice narration, interactive quizzes with AI grading, browser simulations, and project-based learning. The open-source version can be used for free, and the platform has been tested and iterated with more than 700 students over two years.
What you can do with it
Here is what the platform offers:
- Turn a topic or document into a full interactive course
- Watch AI slide lectures with voice narration and pointer animations

- Explore browser simulations and project-based activities
Who it is for
It suits several groups:
- Students who want a richer, interactive learning experience
- Teachers who want to prepare courses faster
- Researchers studying multi-agent education
What to watch out for
The open-source version is free, but the license and terms can change, and commercial use is handled separately. Course quality depends heavily on your input and the model you choose, so you will often need to review and adjust the material. Some setups require technical comfort, especially if you self-host or change models. Treat generated courses as a strong starting point that still needs a teacher's or learner's judgment before you rely on them. When quality matters, export a small draft first to confirm the result before producing the final file. Generated suggestions are for reference only, so verify anything that affects professional judgment or important data.
