* feat(storage): add opt-in indirect asset byte egress A deployment can now opt an asset byte GET into a 302 to a short-lived signed URL when the byte layer can sign. It is off by default, and byte-for-byte unchanged when off. The byte layer gains an optional signReadUrl capability; S3AssetByteStore implements it through the new optional @aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner peer, resolved lazily exactly like the client SDK, with a signer seam mirroring the commands seam so tests can bind doubles. The signed URL pins the contract's response headers -- the media type after the renderable allowlist, the fixed disposition, and the no-store cache posture -- via S3 response-header overrides. PgAssetStore mints the URL from the same ownership-checked transactional read a direct resolve performs, so authorization still runs per read before any URL exists, and a store whose byte layer cannot sign falls back to direct bytes. The contract documents the shape and the disclosure tradeoff: a Location into a hash-keyed byte layer names the content hash, so deployments that need the no-disclosure property keep direct egress. Refs #1007 * feat(app): wire ASSET_BYTE_EGRESS into the persistence route ASSET_BYTE_EGRESS=redirect opts asset byte GETs into the storage package's indirect egress; unset, direct, or an unrecognized value keeps the default byte-for-byte behavior, with a warning for the unrecognized case. The lazy byte-store wrapper now forwards signReadUrl and answers undefined when the resolved layer has no signer, so the PostgreSQL byte column degrades to direct bytes and the S3 layer signs without the wrapper knowing which it holds. The collector path is untouched: it builds its byte store through createAssetByteStore as before and only ever calls delete. Refs #1007 * fix(storage): let the packaged client survive redirect egress Cross-review round 1 on the indirect byte egress change found two problems. A byte response that followed a redirect carries the pinned content type but no X-Asset-Revision, and HttpAssetStore required both from the same response, so every cold resolve under redirect egress failed MALFORMED_RESPONSE. The client now detects the shape once -- a redirected byte response with no revision -- latches it, and probes HEAD before each cold GET from then on, taking the label from the probe. The probe predates the download on purpose: a replacement in between labels newer bytes with an older revision, which the next revalidation detects and corrects, while the reverse order could pin stale bytes under a fresh revision with no signal to repair it. The probe doubles as the miss check, so a redirect-mode miss costs no download. The direct path is byte-for-byte unchanged; the one double download per client lifetime on first contact is documented in the contract, which gains the client-side paragraph this behavior implements. signedUrlTtlSeconds also accepted lifetimes beyond the seven-day SigV4 presigning maximum, minting redirects the object store would reject. The option is now capped at construction. Refs #1007 * fix(storage): cap signed URL lifetime below the reclamation grace A signed URL whose lifetime exceeds the collector grace period can outlive its object: the last reference goes, the grace elapses, the collector deletes the object, and the still-valid URL errors at the object store. The previous ceiling -- the seven-day SigV4 maximum -- made that window days wide against the one-hour default grace. The cap is now fifteen minutes, and the contract text states both the ceiling and the rule for deployments that shorten their grace. Refs #1007 * fix(storage): decline signing when the optional presigner is absent An unresolvable @aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner made signReadUrl throw, which the registry surfaced as a failed asset read -- a 500 for a deployment whose only fault is a missing optional peer. The contract's answer for a byte layer that cannot sign is the capability fallback: return undefined and let the caller serve the bytes directly. Signing errors from a resolved signer still fail loud; only the missing capability declines. Refs #1007 * fix(storage): answer redirect egress as a descriptor to asking clients Following a 302 is not header-neutral: the platform fetch forwards the original request's headers to the object store's origin, stripping only Authorization, so a deployment whose credential travels in a custom header would hand it to the object store -- and the preflight the forwarded custom headers provoke commonly fails there besides. This replaces the latch-and-probe client shape with an explicit one: the client sends X-Asset-Egress: descriptor on every byte GET, a redirect-egress server answers 200 with a JSON { url, revision } body instead of a Location, and the client fetches the signed URL with no deployment headers at all. The revision comes from the descriptor, so the probe-first ordering and its one wasted download are gone too. The 302 remains the answer for consumers that did not ask; the descriptor response is marked by its own header so a JSON-media asset can never parse as one. Refs #1007 * fix(storage): negotiate the descriptor through Accept, not a custom header A custom X-Asset-Egress request header is not CORS-safelisted, so every byte GET to a cross-origin server became a preflighted request -- a regression for direct-egress deployments that never opted into anything, against servers with no reason to allow the header. The negotiation now rides Accept with a vendor media type, which is safelisted and costs no preflight, and the descriptor answer is identified by that media type as its Content-Type rather than by a marker header. Refs #1007 * fix(storage): sign outside the registry transaction and reserve the descriptor type Two review findings on the indirect egress path. resolveIndirect awaited the signer inside the coordinated read, but a signer on refreshable credentials can wait on the network, and a database connection plus the blob row's FOR SHARE lock would be held across that delay. The read now closes first -- the lock still puts the hash, label and revision in one snapshot -- and signing runs afterwards, which cannot observe anything the read did not. The descriptor media type is also reserved from renderableTypes: the client identifies a descriptor answer by that exact Content-Type, and an allowlisted asset served with it would be misread as a descriptor and fail MALFORMED_RESPONSE. The handler now rejects the configuration at construction, and the contract states the reservation. Refs #1007 * fix(storage): ship the signing deps and negotiate without ambiguity Three review findings on the indirect egress path. The app now declares @aws-sdk/client-s3 and @aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner as runtime dependencies, and the standalone build force-includes them for the persistence route: both are reached through deliberately untraced dynamic imports, so the shipped image could not resolve them, and a deployment opting into S3 or redirect egress would have found the capability silently absent. The descriptor negotiation matches exactly on both sides: the client compares the Content-Type essence, so a longer media type that merely begins with the reserved value still serves as bytes, and the server parses Accept media ranges, so a descriptor range sent with q=0 selects the redirect instead of the descriptor it explicitly rejects. Refs #1007 * fix(app): refuse redirect egress when the collection grace is shorter A signed URL must never outlive its object: with the handler's 60-second default lifetime, a deployment that sets ASSET_COLLECTION_GRACE_MS below ten minutes lets the collector delete an object while a URL minted against it is still valid. The route now refuses the combination at handler initialization, naming both variables -- a deterministic misconfiguration, loud at startup rather than silent at read time. Refs #1007 * fix(app): ship the signing SDKs without loading them Two findings on the standalone deployment of redirect egress. The outputFileTracingIncludes globs did not follow pnpm's scoped symlinks, so the standalone image carried neither AWS package and both S3 mode and redirect egress could not resolve their SDK at runtime. The packages are now server-external and referenced from literal -- but never called -- dynamic import thunks in the persistence byte-store wiring, which gets them traced into the image while module resolution still happens only on first S3 use. Verified against a local standalone build: node_modules/@aws-sdk now contains both packages, and the route tests that pin the never-resolve-unless-configured discipline still pass. Media type comparisons are also case-insensitive now, as HTTP requires, on both the Accept parse and the descriptor recognition. Refs #1007 * fix(app): treat an empty collection grace as unset Number('') is 0, so a present-but-empty ASSET_COLLECTION_GRACE_MS failed the redirect-egress coordination check and took persistence down with it, while the collector's own parsing reads the same value as the one-hour default. The check now trims and treats empty as unset, matching durationEnv. Refs #1007 * fix(storage): accept bytes too, omit signing on the known-PG wrapper, state the full tradeoff Three review findings. The client's descriptor request now advertises both representations -- the vendor descriptor type preferred, */* accepted -- so a strict content-negotiating layer can never answer 406 to a client that does in fact consume plain bytes. The lazy byte-store wrapper no longer advertises signReadUrl when no bucket is configured: the layer is known to be PostgreSQL at construction, and carrying the method made resolveIndirect take its ownership query and blob-row lock just to decline, then repeat them in resolve, on every cold GET. With a bucket configured the lazy validation is preserved and the wrapper still declines when the resolved layer cannot sign. And the contract's disclosure tradeoff now states the second edge: object-store GETs carry ETag and Last-Modified, response overrides cannot strip them, and because deduplicated PUTs rewrite the hash-keyed object, Last-Modified moves when another principal re-uploads the same bytes -- shared-object write timing, beyond byte equality. Deployments for whom that signal is sensitive must keep direct egress. Refs #1007 * fix(app): degrade on bad grace, share the ttl invariant, cover the real boundary The latest review round, four findings. A misconfigured ASSET_COLLECTION_GRACE_MS now degrades redirect egress to direct with a warning instead of failing the shared handler's initialization -- the asset backend is optional, and its misconfiguration must never take document and runtime traffic down. The package exports assertSignedUrlTtlWithinGrace so a deployment wiring the handler and the collector separately validates the invariant once at its own boundary: the handler caps the lifetime, but only the deployment knows both numbers. The contract states that nosniff does not survive the redirect -- response-header overrides cannot set it -- and why the client-minted blob makes that safe for conforming clients. And the route gains a real-boundary test: the Fetch<->Node adapter, the real createStorageHttpHandler, and the egress wiring, exercised with an actual byte GET through the composed stack instead of mocks. Refs #1007 * fix(storage): make the unsafe egress configuration unrepresentable Three findings on the indirect egress path, all resolved by moving a rule into a place where it cannot be bypassed rather than by adding a check a consumer has to remember. The grace/TTL invariant now lives in the option shape. byteEgress takes 'direct' or { mode: 'redirect', collectionGraceMs, signedUrlTtlSeconds? }, so enabling indirect egress without declaring the reclamation window it lives inside no longer type-checks, and the handler validates both numbers at construction. The flat signedUrlTtlSeconds option, its cross-field "requires byteEgress redirect" check, and the standalone 900-second cap as the only guard all go away; the ceiling stays, but alongside the ratio rather than in place of it. This is what the earlier exported assertSignedUrlTtlWithinGrace could not do -- it protected only consumers who called it -- and it costs nothing in compatibility because the option is new in this branch. The app resolves the grace through one shared parser with the collector, so the number the handler checks is the number the collector runs with. A signed URL whose object is gone is now a miss. The client maps a 404 from the byte fetch to ASSET_NOT_FOUND, matching the direct path: the entry was owned and readable when the URL was minted, so a reclaimed object is the same physical state the direct read reports as a miss, and what a read means must not depend on the deployment's egress setting. Signing still does not probe for the object -- that would restore the round trip this feature removes and make the mint's price vary with prior presence -- so the contract instead requires the byte layer to answer 404 for an absent object, and states that S3 needs s3:ListBucket to do so. Route coverage now spans the whole egress matrix through the real composed handler rather than only the direct case: 302 for a consumer that did not ask, descriptor for one that did, direct bytes when the byte layer declines to sign, and direct bytes when a short grace degraded the configured mode. Refs #1007 * feat(storage): forward byte egress options through reference server * fix(storage): fail closed on redirects and unconfirmed 404s in indirect byte egress A signed-fetch 404 now maps to a miss only when the object store's XML body declares NoSuchKey; every other 404 from the signed fetch fails loud, so a wrong bucket, access point, or endpoint can no longer make a live asset read as absent. The descriptor byte GET is sent with redirect: 'manual' and any 3xx answer is treated as an error, so a server that ignores the descriptor negotiation can never forward the deployment's custom credential headers to a redirect target. The ASSET_BYTE_EGRESS switch is now documented in .env.example and the server-persistence deployment section, together with the object-store CORS and s3:ListBucket prerequisites it requires, and the asset descriptor media type is exported from the package root and the asset/http subpath. --------- Co-authored-by: 杨慎 <117187635+cosarah@users.noreply.github.com>

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.
Asset byte egress is direct by default: the embedded route materializes the
bytes in the response body. Setting ASSET_BYTE_EGRESS=redirect opts into
indirect egress, under which a byte GET answers with a short-lived signed
S3 URL when the byte layer can sign (S3 can; the PostgreSQL byte column cannot
and falls back to direct bytes). Two object-store prerequisites make that safe:
the bucket must allow this app's origin via CORS and expose Content-Type on
the signed response, and the signing identity must hold s3:ListBucket on the
bucket so a missing key answers 404 NoSuchKey rather than 403 — a client can
only read a reclaimed asset as a miss when the store confirms it by code. The
tradeoffs this opts into are specified in the
asset HTTP contract.
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.

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
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 11 languages: Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), English, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Mexico), French, and Vietnamese
- Dark Mode — Easy on the eyes for late-night study sessions
