OpenMAIC
Open Multi-Agent Interactive Classroom — Get an immersive, multi-agent learning experience in just one click
The Lens
OpenMAIC creates multi-agent conversations where AI agents collaborate, debate, and teach. It's an open multi-agent interactive classroom where AI agents play different roles (teacher, student, devil's advocate) and you learn through their interactions, not just a chatbot Q&A.
Built by Tsinghua University researchers, it creates immersive learning sessions with one click. The agents debate concepts, ask each other questions, and you can jump in anytime. It's backed by a published academic paper, so the pedagogy is research-grounded.
AGPL-3.0 licensed. If you modify it and offer it as a service, you must open source your changes.
The catch: this is an academic research project, not a polished product. The 'one click' setup still requires you to bring your own LLM API keys and the experience quality depends heavily on which model you use. AGPL-3.0 makes commercial deployment complicated. And the multi-agent approach burns through tokens fast. A 30-minute session with 3 agents is 3x the API cost of a single chatbot.
Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid
fully freeFully open source under AGPL-3.0. No paid tier, no hosted version. You clone it and bring your own LLM API keys. The AGPL license means internal use is free, but offering it as a hosted service requires open-sourcing your modifications.
The real cost is API usage. Multiple agents running simultaneously multiplies your token spend by the number of agents in the classroom.
Free for personal/internal use. API costs scale with agent count. AGPL restricts hosted commercial use.
