I / Function

Generate interactive lessons with slides, quizzes, simulations, and AI teachers and classmates.

OpenMAIC turns a topic or reference material into an interactive classroom with AI-generated lessons. It produces outlines and scenes containing slides, quizzes, simulations, and project activities, while AI teachers and classmates support discussion and whiteboard interaction. The application can be self-hosted with PostgreSQL, including through Docker, and connects to configured model services for lesson generation and classroom conversations.

Run modes
  • Local browser interface

    pnpm dev and the Compose stack both open http://localhost:3000.

    OpenMAIC README

  • Self-hosted server

    Production is pnpm start, or Compose, kept running so generation continues after the browser leaves.

Install methods
  • Build from source
