What is OpenMAIC?

OpenMAIC stands for Open Multi-Agent Interactive Classroom: instead of one chatbot answering questions, several AI agents play the roles of a teacher and classmates and perform a planned lesson. This page explains the idea, what a generated classroom contains, and how to build one here without installing anything.

Build a classroom

In short

  • MAIC = Multi-Agent Interactive Classroom: an AI teacher plus AI classmates deliver a structured lesson.
  • A classroom includes slides, a whiteboard, spoken narration, discussion, quizzes, an interactive HTML simulation and a project.
  • This site is an independent hosted service inspired by the open-source project, with its own accounts and credits.
  • One complete classroom costs 6 credits; new accounts receive enough welcome credits for one build.

The idea behind a multi-agent classroom

A single AI assistant waits for you to ask the right question. A multi-agent classroom does the opposite: it plans a lesson and stages it. One agent teaches and draws on a whiteboard; other agents act as classmates who ask the questions a real learner would ask, which surfaces misunderstandings you might not think to raise yourself.

Because the lesson is planned first, the result has a beginning, a middle and an end — explanation, discussion, practice and a project — rather than a long chat transcript.

What one OpenMAIC classroom contains

A full build produces a sequence of scenes, each with spoken narration that your browser can read aloud.

  • Cover and content slides that follow an outline you can edit.
  • Whiteboard explanations from the AI teacher.
  • Discussion between the teacher and AI classmates.
  • Quizzes to check understanding.
  • An interactive HTML simulation that runs in a sandboxed frame.
  • A project activity to apply what was learned.

Open-source project vs this hosted service

OpenMAIC here is an independent web service inspired by the open-source Open Multi-Agent Interactive Classroom project. You do not need to set up servers, models or API keys: describe a topic in your browser, review the outline, and build. Classrooms are stored in your account, so you can replay, rebuild or export them later.

This service is not the open-source project's official site and does not claim to reproduce another product's exact output. Lessons are written with a reviewed DeepSeek Flash route.

How to build your first classroom

  1. Describe the topic and the learners, for example "the water cycle for 9-year-olds" — up to 600 characters.
  2. Pick a depth. Quick tour (4–6 slides): A focused overview with one quiz, read in a few minutes. Full lesson (7–10 slides): A complete class with discussion, a quiz and one interactive scene. Deep class (11–16 slides): A long build with interactives, a project activity and a recap.
  3. Edit the outline: rename, reorder, retype or remove scenes before the build.
  4. Build, replay and export as PowerPoint (.pptx), a self-contained interactive HTML page, or Markdown.
