Open Multi-Agent Interactive Classroom — Get an immersive, multi-agent learning experience in just one click
Coldcast Lens
OpenMAIC replaces passive video lectures with AI-powered interactive classrooms where you learn alongside AI teachers, TAs, and classmates who actually argue with each other. Drop in a topic or document, and it generates slides, quizzes, simulations, and project-based activities — all delivered by agents with distinct teaching styles. Validated with 700+ students at Tsinghua over two years.
If you're building an edtech product or creating internal training, OpenMAIC is the most complete open-source classroom simulation available. The multi-agent approach (teacher + TA + classmates) creates genuine discussion dynamics that solo-chatbot tutoring can't match. Khan Academy's Khanmigo is the commercial equivalent but closed. Duolingo-style bots are narrower in scope. Custom GPT tutors lack the classroom social dynamics.
The catch: AGPL license is a hard constraint for commercial use — you'll need to open-source your modifications or negotiate a license. It's research-grade software from an academic lab, not a production SaaS. Running the full multi-agent classroom locally needs serious compute. And 12K stars doesn't mean production-ready — it means the demo is impressive.
