* fix(persistence): stop corrupting binary response bodies in the route adapter The embedded persistence route bridges a Node `RequestListener` to the Fetch API by hand. Its response object is cast with `as unknown as ServerResponse`, so the compiler checks none of that surface, and two parts of it were wrong in ways only a byte-carrying handler would hit. `end` decoded any `Uint8Array` chunk with `Buffer.from(chunk).toString()`, which is UTF-8. `ServerResponse.end` accepts a `Uint8Array`, and those bytes are not necessarily valid UTF-8, so every unpaired byte became U+FFFD -- silent corruption with no error anywhere. The adapter now buffers chunks as bytes and builds the response from them. `write` was absent entirely, making any chunked handler a runtime TypeError rather than a compile error. It is part of the surface this object claims to implement, so it is now implemented. Neither reaches a caller today: the document and runtime handlers only ever end with JSON strings, which took the string branch. Both are traps laid for the first handler that carries bytes. Both cases are pinned by tests that fail before this change -- the binary one on a byte comparison, the chunked one with a 500 from the TypeError. The existing adapter round-trip test, whose comment already called this the most bug-prone code in the route, covered only the string path. * feat(storage): wire the asset backend into the app (#1007) The server asset registry shipped with #1007 but was reachable from nothing: the persistence route never passed an `assetStore`, and no file under `app/`, `lib/` or `components/` imported the asset server or client modules. This connects it, additively -- no DSL change, no version bump, and no behavioural change when server persistence is off. The route now builds a `PgAssetStore` on the same pool and transaction as the document store, with `PgAssetByteStore` by default and `S3AssetByteStore` when `ASSET_S3_BUCKET` opts a deployment into it. The AWS SDK stays an optional peer, reached only through a dynamic import on that branch. The offline collector is deliberately not scheduled here, and the route says so where a reader would look for it, because leaving it unscheduled grows storage without bound and scheduling it is the deployment's decision. On the browser side the asset pool gains a single-shot configuration seam modelled on the document store's, so that with server persistence enabled the pool is an `HttpAssetStore` carrying the same auth headers as the other stores. Three browser-specific mechanisms needed decisions rather than translation: `clearAssetPool` deletes an IndexedDB database today. In server mode there is nothing local to delete, and a "clear cache" action must not remove server-side assets -- that would destroy user data from a button promising to free space. It now revokes local object URLs and closes the client, and deletes nothing remote. The cross-tab replacement broadcast is unchanged. Its job is to make another tab drop a warm object URL when the bytes behind an id change, and that need is identical in server mode. The exclusivity proof that decides whether an in-place `replace` is safe reasons over this browser only: local documents, unflushed state, and a cross-tab presence probe. In server mode those cover a strict subset of the holders, since another device can reference the same id and no probe can see it -- and asking the server who else references an id would be an existence oracle over other principals. The proof therefore returns not exclusive unconditionally in server mode, and regeneration takes the existing fork path. That is the fail-closed direction and a graceful degradation rather than a break. The development authenticator had to grow the asset principal's required `key`; without it every asset request would have been correctly denied. It derives from the same learner partition, and a principal without one still gets no asset access. The route now states plainly that this key comes from a client-supplied header, so the cross-principal isolation the asset contract describes is not in force under this authenticator -- that warning previously lived only in the auth module's own header, where nobody mounting the route would see it. * fix(storage): close three defects in the asset app wiring (#1007) **The S3 branch could not load, and isolated nothing.** The route dynamically imported the storage package's S3 byte store, but that module statically imported the AWS SDK, so merely resolving it pulled the SDK into resolution and bundling. The route then separately performed an ignored native import of the SDK from the app's own scope, which fails with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND because the SDK lives under the storage workspace package -- so a deployment that set the bucket got a broken store rather than an S3 one. There is now one lazy loader in one resolution scope, the storage module no longer imports the SDK at module load, and the bucket is validated at initialization rather than treated as valid because it is non-empty. A test mocks the SDK to throw on resolution and asserts that importing the byte-store module never resolves it. **A cross-tab replacement could leave a mounted lease stale.** The broadcast handler re-resolves, and `HttpAssetStore.resolve` coalesces concurrent calls for one id onto a single in-flight request -- correct on its own, and required by the contract. Together they meant a resolve triggered by the broadcast could merge into a GET that started before the peer's replacement, return the old revision, and leave the consumer on the old URL with nothing to dislodge it. The client gains an invalidation that retires its cached snapshot and advances the per-id generation without revoking any URL already issued; `release` would have been wrong here, since the contract keeps an issued URL valid until its holder releases it. Removing the invalidation call fails the new race test. **Clearing a server-backed pool left the closed client installed.** In server mode `clearAssetPool` closed the client and returned before clearing the module singleton, so every later `getAssetPool()` handed back a closed store until a page reload happened to intervene. Only the IndexedDB deletion is skipped in server mode now; the singleton is always cleared so the next call rebuilds through the configured factory. Also adds the tests whose absence let these through: a route round-trip carrying invalid UTF-8, the SDK-resolution assertion above, the broadcast race, and reopening the pool after a clear. The earlier tests were not wrong so much as aimed past the defect -- the route test used JSON text, and the S3 test injected a loader rather than exercising the imports. * chore(storage): bump package version to 0.3.0 * fix(persistence): make the route adapter faithful where it carries bytes The embedded persistence route bridges a Node `RequestListener` to the Fetch API by hand, and its response object is cast `as unknown as ServerResponse`, so the compiler checks none of that surface. Five divergences are closed here; the first two are the ones that corrupt data, the last three were raised in review. **`end` decoded bytes as text.** It ran `Buffer.from(chunk).toString()` on a `Uint8Array` chunk, which is UTF-8, so every byte outside that encoding became U+FFFD -- silent corruption with no error anywhere. The adapter now buffers chunks as bytes. **`write` was absent**, making any chunked handler a runtime `TypeError` rather than a compile error. **`write` callbacks ran inline.** Node invokes them after the chunk is handed off. A handler that writes its next chunk from each callback therefore recursed synchronously and could overflow the stack, and a throwing callback threw in the wrong execution phase. They are now deferred. **The encoding argument was ignored.** `write(s, 'latin1')` emitted `0xc3 0xa9` where Node emits `0xe9`, corrupting the body and potentially invalidating a `Content-Length` the handler had set. Both `write` and `end` now parse their full overload set and pass the encoding through. Node's own behaviour for an invalid encoding was established by probing `ServerResponse` on Node 22 rather than assumed: it throws `ERR_UNKNOWN_ENCODING` synchronously, so the adapter validates with `Buffer.isEncoding` and lets `Buffer.from` raise the native error. **Bodyless statuses were not suppressed.** Node discards writes after `writeHead(204)` or `writeHead(304)`; this passed the buffered bytes to the Fetch `Response` constructor, which throws for those statuses, so the request became a 500 instead of the intended 204 or 304. Buffered data is now discarded for 204, 205 and 304, and for `HEAD`. None of the five reaches a caller today -- the document and runtime handlers only ever end with JSON strings. They are traps laid for the first handler that carries bytes, which is why they surfaced while wiring the asset server backend, whose byte routes hit the first two immediately. Each is pinned by a test that fails when its fix is reverted. * fix(storage): keep { client, bucket } working for the S3 byte store `S3AssetByteStoreOptions.commands` was required and the store's methods called it directly, so the published `./asset/s3-bytes` export stopped accepting the `{ client, bucket }` construction it had always taken. Anyone not going through `loadS3AssetByteStore` either failed to compile or hit an undefined command factory at runtime. Make `commands` optional. Omitted, the store resolves the AWS SDK's own command constructors through a dynamic import on its first `write` / `read` / `delete` and caches them, so `{ client, bucket }` works again. Importing the module and constructing a store still never reach the optional peer dependency: a deployment that does not select S3 never resolves it. When the SDK cannot be resolved the call rejects naming `@aws-sdk/client-s3` rather than crashing on an undefined property, and the resolution is left uncached so installing the dependency fixes an already-constructed store. The lazily bound store is run against the byte-store contract, and the new isolation tests pin both that construction does not resolve the SDK and that an unresolvable SDK is reported by name. With the break gone this branch's change to the package is additive, so the version becomes a patch above main (0.2.4 -> 0.2.5) rather than the minor it was carrying. Refs #1007 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(persistence): run the asset collector in the shipped deployment `PgAssetStore.remove`, and a `replace` that changes content, only stamp `asset_blobs.unreferenced_at`. `AssetCollector.collect` is the only path that deletes anything, and the persistence route deliberately did not schedule it, on the grounds that scheduling is the deployment's decision. The deployment this repository ships is docker-compose.yml: the app and PostgreSQL, and nothing else that could make that decision. "The deployment decides" therefore meant "it never runs", and ordinary asset churn retained PostgreSQL bytes or S3 objects forever. Schedule it from instrumentation.ts, which Next runs once per server process — a route module can be instantiated more than once and has no shutdown hook, so a schedule started from one is really started per instantiation. Next 15 and later pick the file up with no config, so next.config.ts is unchanged. Collection is on by default with a 15-minute interval and the package's one-hour grace period, so the Compose stack is correct with no operator action. ASSET_COLLECTION_INTERVAL_MS, ASSET_COLLECTION_GRACE_MS, and ASSET_COLLECTION_ENABLED change or disable it, each documented where it is read. Without DATABASE_URL nothing is scheduled at all, and a failed pass is logged and retried on the next tick rather than ending the schedule or the process. Several instances may collect concurrently: each candidate blob row is re-checked and locked FOR UPDATE inside its own transaction, so collectors serialize on the row rather than racing. The comment says so, so nobody adds a distributed lock that is not needed. The byte-store selection moves to lib/persistence/asset-byte-store so the collector reclaims through the same layer the request path wrote through. A collector on the PostgreSQL byte store while the route wrote to S3 would drop the blob row and orphan the object permanently. Refs #1007 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(storage): bound each collector pass and report whether it filled An unbounded collect() is sized by however long a deployment ran before collection was scheduled: one statement selecting every eligible blob, then a transaction and a byte-layer delete each, in a loop nothing interrupts. The first pass over the Compose deployment that grew a backlog before collection was scheduled is exactly that pass. A pass now takes at most batchSize blobs (default one thousand) and returns. Ordinary churn between two scheduled passes is far below the cap, so a healthy deployment behaves as it did when a pass was unbounded; a capped pass costs the remainder one scheduling interval, which is what the interval is for. collect() still answers with the count, and the count alone cannot tell an empty backlog from a full batch -- a re-referenced or concurrently taken candidate is skipped, so even a full batch can collect less than batchSize. collectPass() returns the count together with capped, which is exactly "this batch was full, run again"; a caller draining a backlog loops while it is true. Candidates are taken oldest-unreferenced first, with the content hash as tiebreaker within one timestamp. Ordering by the hash alone would starve: digests are uniformly distributed, so a high-sorting blob waits behind every lower digest stamped after it, and under steady arrivals those keep coming. The tests pin the ordering against a planner that happens to answer the right rows without an ORDER BY. Refs #1007 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(persistence): keep asset backend faults off the shared handler Two review findings on the app wiring. A concrete asset pool instance is single-lifecycle, but resolveConfiguredAssetPoolStore handed the same object out again after clearAssetPool() had closed it, reinstalling a dead store as the live pool. The second handout now refuses loudly and points at the factory form, which rebuilds on every resolution. createPersistenceHandler eagerly awaited the asset byte store, so an invalid ASSET_S3_BUCKET or an unresolvable AWS SDK rejected the shared persistence handler and took document and runtime traffic down with an optional backend. Byte-store construction is now deferred to the first asset byte operation, and a failed construction is not cached, so the next asset request retries -- the route's own no-poisoned-singleton rule.

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:
- Fork this repository
- Import into Vercel
- Set environment variables (at minimum one LLM API key)
- Deploy
Docker Deployment
cp .env.example .env.local
# Edit .env.local with your API keys, then:
docker compose up --build
Server-backed persistence (PostgreSQL)
The server-persistence profile runs exactly two containers: the OpenMAIC app
and PostgreSQL. The persistence HTTP server is embedded in the app at
/api/persistence; there is no standalone persistence service.
cp .env.example .env.local
printf '\nDATABASE_URL=postgres://openmaic:openmaic-dev@postgres:5432/openmaic\nPERSISTENCE_DEV_TOKEN=openmaic-local-dev\n' >> .env.local
NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE=1 NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE_TOKEN=openmaic-local-dev docker compose --profile server-persistence up --build
Add your provider API keys to .env.local as usual. Runtime sessions and course
documents become server-backed; device-scoped KV data (including the anonymous
device learner key and playback position) remains in the browser. Existing
browser course data is copied into the configured server store lazily, one
course at a time when it is first accessed, using the same verified migration
path as browser persistence.
NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE is a build-time switch compiled into the browser
bundle. A build with it enabled must be deployed with a working runtime
DATABASE_URL and PERSISTENCE_DEV_TOKEN, while
NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE_TOKEN must match that server token at build time.
Otherwise the browser selects HTTP persistence but the embedded endpoint
returns configuration/authentication/initialization errors; the home page shows
a persistence-unavailable toast and keeps the prior course list instead of
misleadingly displaying an empty library.
PERSISTENCE_DEV_TOKEN and NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE_TOKEN are not a
secret in any meaningful sense: the NEXT_PUBLIC_ token is compiled into
the public JavaScript bundle, fully visible to every visitor, and therefore
provides no confidentiality and no user isolation whatsoever — anyone who
can load the page can extract it and read or write every learner partition
and all documents by choosing an x-learner-key. Its only purpose is to
keep unrelated network scanners out of an endpoint on a trusted network. This
is suitable only for localhost or trusted-network, single-user deployments. Before production,
replace
lib/persistence/server-auth.ts with real
session verification that derives the learner partition from server-controlled
identity, and change the document/merge/admin authorization policies as
appropriate.
PERSISTENCE_POSTGRES_PASSWORD initializes the PostgreSQL role only when the
data directory is empty; changing it later does not rotate an existing
openmaic-postgres volume. For a disposable local database, run
docker compose --profile server-persistence down -v, set the new password and
matching DATABASE_URL, then start the profile again. To preserve data, connect
as an administrator and run ALTER ROLE openmaic WITH PASSWORD 'new-password';,
then update DATABASE_URL.
Compose cannot attach depends_on to openmaic only when this optional profile
is active without also affecting the default deployment. Startup therefore
relies on the embedded route's retry-on-next-request behavior while PostgreSQL
becomes healthy.
Deleting or replacing an asset only drops its registry entry; the bytes behind
it are reclaimed afterwards by an offline collector. This deployment runs that
collector by default, so nothing has to be configured for asset storage to
stop growing. A pass runs every ASSET_COLLECTION_INTERVAL_MS (default 15
minutes) over bytes that have been unreferenced for longer than
ASSET_COLLECTION_GRACE_MS (default 1 hour); the grace period is the retention
window a user's deleted bytes actually get, so raise it deliberately. Set
ASSET_COLLECTION_ENABLED=0 to switch collection off in a process. A
horizontally scaled deployment may leave it on in every instance — each blob row
is locked and re-checked before its bytes go, so concurrent collectors serialize
rather than race — or disable it everywhere and run its own.
The embedded endpoint implements the package's
RuntimeStore HTTP contract
and
DocumentStore HTTP contract.
Leave NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE unset to retain the existing browser-only
behavior.
Optional: MP4 Video Export (Render Service)
The "Export Video" menu builds a self-contained Hyperframes project entirely in the browser. Turning that into an MP4 needs Chromium + FFmpeg on Node 22, so it runs in an isolated render-service container rather than the app.
It's opt-in. Start it with the video-export compose profile:
docker compose --profile video-export up --build
The app auto-detects the service via RENDER_SERVICE_URL (preset in docker-compose.yml) and enables one-click MP4 rendering. Without the profile — or when RENDER_SERVICE_URL is unset — export degrades to downloading the project ZIP for local CLI rendering. See render-service/README.md for standalone setup and tuning (RENDER_MAX_CONCURRENCY, etc.).
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.
| Backend | Endpoint | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| vLLM-Omni | /v1/audio/speech |
OpenAI-compatible speech endpoint, ideal for GPU servers |
| Python API | /tts/upload |
Official VoxCPM Python runtime via FastAPI |
| Nano-vLLM | /generate |
Lightweight Nano-vLLM FastAPI deployment |
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.

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:
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Outline | AI analyzes your input and generates a structured lesson outline |
| Scenes | Each outline item becomes a rich scene — slides, quizzes, interactive modules, or PBL activities |
Classroom Components
|
🎓 Slides AI teachers deliver lectures with voice narration, spotlight effects, and laser pointer animations — just like a real classroom. 
|
🧪 Quiz Interactive quizzes (single / multiple choice, short answer) with real-time AI grading and feedback. 
|
|
🔬 Interactive Simulation HTML-based interactive experiments for visual, hands-on learning — physics simulators, flowcharts, and more. 
|
🏗️ Project-Based Learning (PBL) Choose a role and collaborate with AI agents on structured projects with milestones and deliverables. 
|
Multi-Agent Interaction
|
|
OpenClaw Integration
|
OpenMAIC integrates with OpenClaw — a personal AI assistant that connects to messaging platforms you already use (Feishu, Slack, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.). With this integration, you can generate and view interactive classrooms directly from your chat app without ever touching a terminal. |
|
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.
|
Available on ClawHub — Install with one command: Or copy manually: |
Configuration & details
| Phase | What the skill does |
|---|---|
| Clone | Detect an existing checkout or ask before cloning/installing |
| Startup | Choose between pnpm dev, pnpm build && pnpm start, or Docker |
| Provider Keys | Recommend a provider path; you edit .env.local yourself |
| Generation | Submit an async generation job and poll until it completes |
Optional config in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:
{
"skills": {
"entries": {
"openmaic": {
"config": {
// Hosted mode: paste your access code from open.maic.chat
"accessCode": "sk-xxx",
// Self-hosted mode: local repo path and URL
"repoDir": "/path/to/OpenMAIC",
"url": "http://localhost:3000"
}
}
}
}
}
Export
| Format | Description |
|---|---|
| PowerPoint (.pptx) | Fully editable slides with images, charts, and LaTeX formulas |
| Interactive HTML | Self-contained web pages with interactive simulations |
| Classroom ZIP | Full classroom export (course structure + media) for backup or sharing |
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
