Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 20
• pnpm >= 10

1. Clone & Install

git clone https://github.com/THU-MAIC/OpenMAIC.git
cd OpenMAIC
pnpm install

2. Configure

cp .env.example .env.local

Fill in at least one LLM provider key:

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
GOOGLE_API_KEY=...
GROK_API_KEY=xai-...
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-...

    apiKey: sk-ant-...

Supported providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax, Grok (xAI), OpenRouter, Doubao, Tencent Hunyuan/TokenHub, Xiaomi MiMo, GLM (Zhipu), Ollama (local), Lemonade (local LLM / image / TTS / ASR), and any OpenAI-compatible API.

Optional: Lemonade (Local AI Provider)

OpenMAIC supports Lemonade as a local, OpenAI-compatible provider for LLMs, image generation, TTS, and ASR. No API key is required.

Run Lemonade locally, then point OpenMAIC to it:

LEMONADE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:13305/v1
TTS_LEMONADE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:13305/v1
ASR_LEMONADE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:13305/v1
IMAGE_LEMONADE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:13305/v1

OpenAI quick example:

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
DEFAULT_MODEL=openai:gpt-5.5

Xiaomi MiMo Token Plan quick example:

MIMO_API_KEY=tp-...
MIMO_BASE_URL=https://token-plan-cn.xiaomimimo.com/v1
DEFAULT_MODEL=xiaomi:mimo-v2.5-pro

Use https://token-plan-sgp.xiaomimimo.com/v1 or https://token-plan-ams.xiaomimimo.com/v1 for the Singapore or Europe Token Plan clusters.

GLM (Zhipu) quick examples:

# China (default)
GLM_API_KEY=...
GLM_BASE_URL=https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/paas/v4

# International (z.ai)
GLM_API_KEY=...
GLM_BASE_URL=https://api.z.ai/api/paas/v4

DEFAULT_MODEL=glm:glm-5.1

Recommended model: Gemini 3 Flash — best balance of quality and speed. For highest quality (at slower speed), try Gemini 3.1 Pro.

If you want OpenMAIC server APIs to use Gemini by default, also set DEFAULT_MODEL=google:gemini-3-flash-preview.

If you want to use MiniMax as the default server model, set DEFAULT_MODEL=minimax:MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed.

3. Run

pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:3000 and start learning!

4. Build for Production

pnpm build && pnpm start

Optional: ACCESS_CODE (Shared Deployments)

To protect your deployment with a site-level password, set ACCESS_CODE in .env.local:

ACCESS_CODE=your-secret-code

When set, visitors see a password prompt before accessing the app. All API routes are also protected. If not set, the app works as before.

Vercel Deployment

Or manually:

1. Fork this repository
2. Import into Vercel
3. Set environment variables (at minimum one LLM API key)
4. Deploy

Docker Deployment

cp .env.example .env.local
# Edit .env.local with your API keys, then:
docker compose up --build

Optional: MinerU (Advanced Document Parsing)

MinerU provides enhanced parsing for complex tables, formulas, and OCR. You can use the MinerU official API or self-host your own instance.

Set PDF_MINERU_BASE_URL (and PDF_MINERU_API_KEY if needed) in .env.local.

Optional: VoxCPM2 (Self-Hosted TTS with Voice Cloning)

VoxCPM2 is an open-source TTS model from OpenBMB with voice cloning. OpenMAIC ships an adapter; run VoxCPM on your own hardware and OpenMAIC will talk to it.

1. Run a VoxCPM backend. Three deployment styles, all behind the same OpenMAIC adapter. You toggle which one in Settings.

See the VoxCPM repo for backend setup.

2. Point OpenMAIC at it. Open Settings → Text-to-Speech → VoxCPM2, pick the backend, and paste your Base URL. The Request URL preview confirms OpenMAIC will hit the right endpoint.

Or pre-configure it via env var (no API key required):

TTS_VOXCPM_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000/v1

3. Manage voices. Three voice modes, all under Settings → Text-to-Speech → VoxCPM2 → VoxCPM Voices.

• Auto Voice (default): OpenMAIC generates a voice prompt from each agent’s persona at synthesis time. No setup required.
• Prompt voice: describe the voice in natural language, e.g. “warm female teacher voice, calm and encouraging, mid-pitch”.
• Clone voice: upload a short reference audio clip or record one in the browser. The clip is stored in IndexedDB and sent to your VoxCPM backend on each synthesis.

✨ Features

Deep Interactive Mode (New!)

Passive listening? ❌ Hands-on exploration! ✅

As Einstein said: “Play is the highest form of research.”

While Standard Mode focuses on quickly generating classroom content, Deep Interactive Mode goes further — creating interactive, explorable, hands-on learning experiences. Students don’t just watch knowledge; they adjust experiments, observe simulations, and actively explore how things work.

Five Types of Interactive UI

AI Teacher Guidance

The AI teacher can actively operate the UI to guide students — highlighting key areas, setting conditions, providing hints, and directing attention at the right moments.

Available on Any Device

All generated interactive UI is fully responsive — desktop, tablet, or mobile.

Need a More Complete and Professional UI Generation Experience?

If you are looking for a version with richer functionality, stronger interactivity, and deeper optimization for high-quality educational UI production, please visit MAIC-UI.

Lesson Generation

Describe what you want to learn or attach reference materials. OpenMAIC’s two-stage pipeline handles the rest:

Classroom Components

Multi-Agent Interaction

OpenClaw Integration

Just tell your OpenClaw assistant what you want to learn — it handles everything else:

• Hosted mode — Grab an access code from open.maic.chat, save it in your config, and generate classrooms instantly — no local setup required
• Self-hosted mode — Clone, install dependencies, configure API keys, and start the server — the skill guides you through each step
• Track progress — Poll the async generation job and send you the link when ready

Every step asks for your confirmation first. No black-box automation.

Export

Offline / intranet classrooms: When you export a classroom (.maic.zip) or a Resource Pack, OpenMAIC inlines the external assets referenced by interactive scenes (KaTeX, Three.js incl. three/addons, Tailwind CDN, Google Fonts, images) into the exported HTML as data: URIs. The exported course then plays fully offline after import into an air-gapped/intranet instance — no public CDN is contacted at playback time. Assets that can’t be fetched at export time (e.g. CORS-restricted image hosts) are reported and left as URLs. Classrooms exported before this feature still reference CDNs and must be re-exported to gain offline support.

And More

• Text-to-Speech — Multiple voice providers with customizable voices
• Speech Recognition — Talk to your AI teacher using your microphone
• Web Search — Agents search the web for up-to-date information during class
• i18n — Interface supports 7 languages: Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), English, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, and Portuguese (Brazil)
• Dark Mode — Easy on the eyes for late-night study sessions
