🌍 What is OpenCyxWorld?

OpenCyxWorld is a fork of OpenMAIC that transforms any prompt into an interactive, multi-agent experience — not just classrooms.

The Problem

Traditional content creation tools force you to build slides, quizzes, and training materials manually. AI tools help write content, but you still assemble everything yourself.

The Solution

Describe what you want in plain language. OpenCyxWorld generates a complete interactive experience with:

• Slides with AI narration and whiteboard animations
• Quizzes with real-time grading and feedback
• Interactive simulations (HTML-based demos, comparisons, workflows)
• Project-based activities with roles, steps, and deliverables

Who It's For

Use Case	Example Prompt
Sales Enablement	"Create a product launch briefing with demo checklist"
Customer Success	"Design an onboarding lab for new analytics users"
Executive Communication	"Prepare a board presentation on Q1 results"
Training & Learning	"Teach me Python basics in 30 minutes"
Interview Prep	"Help me prepare for a PM interview with mock questions"

One prompt. Full interactive experience. Any domain.

🚀 Quick Start

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-...

You can also configure providers via server-providers.yml:

providers:
  openai:
    apiKey: sk-...
  anthropic:
    apiKey: sk-ant-...

Supported providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, MiniMax, Grok (xAI), and any OpenAI-compatible API.

MiniMax quick examples:

MINIMAX_API_KEY=...
MINIMAX_BASE_URL=https://api.minimaxi.com/anthropic/v1
DEFAULT_MODEL=minimax:MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed

TTS_MINIMAX_API_KEY=...
TTS_MINIMAX_BASE_URL=https://api.minimaxi.com

IMAGE_MINIMAX_API_KEY=...
IMAGE_MINIMAX_BASE_URL=https://api.minimaxi.com

VIDEO_MINIMAX_API_KEY=...
VIDEO_MINIMAX_BASE_URL=https://api.minimaxi.com

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 describe what you want to create!

Example prompts:

• "Teach me Python basics in 30 minutes"
• "Design a product launch briefing for our new AI tool"
• "Create an onboarding program for new sales reps"
• "Prepare a board presentation on Q1 results"

See USAGE.md for more scenario examples.

4. Build for Production

pnpm build && pnpm start

Open-world Mode

OpenMAIC is prompt-driven, so the same runtime can deliver a product launch walkthrough, onboarding lab, executive briefing, or any domain you describe just by retargeting the outline/scene prompts and agent personas. Follow the step-by-step guide in community/open-world.md to:

1. Rewrite the outline/scene/action templates under lib/generation/prompts/templates so they describe your desired experience instead of a classroom lecture.
2. Update the agent personas (lib/orchestration/registry/store.ts, skills/openmaic/*) with the goals, tone, and actions of your new voices (for example, “Experience Lead,” “Implementation Coach,” “Curiosity Catalyst”).
3. Add documentation or UI copy showing how to choose the new prompt set (a mode flag can map to different promptIds).

The guide also includes a sample enterprise intent (e.g., “Build a product launch enablement brief covering customer pains, demo steps, and follow-up actions”) so you can see the open-world prompts + agents in action.

Sample Enterprise Flow

To demonstrate the new mode, run scripts/demo-open-world.ts via pnpm demo. The script now walks through four sample scenarios—Product Launch Enablement, Customer Onboarding Lab, Executive Briefing, and Interview Readiness Lab—and, with GOOGLE_API_KEY configured, sends the prompts to Google’s gemini-2.5-flash, prints token usage, and returns real AI-generated outlines. Without the key it falls back to the sample outlines you see in the code.

For a quick reference to the demo/test workflow, see USAGE.md which narrates each scenario (Product Launch Enablement, Customer Onboarding Lab, Executive Briefing, Interview Readiness Lab), the commands to run them, and the expected outcomes.

You can now point newcomers at USAGE.md for the vivid scenario breakdowns and recorded outcomes before they hook up real AI keys.

Tests

• pnpm test (runs vitest run from the workspace). The suite currently executes five spec files (77 tests total) and passed successfully after installing dependencies.
• pnpm lint (runs eslint across the workspace).
• pnpm test:e2e (Playwright end-to-end suites; requires browser support).

Why open-world matters

Open-world is a strategic shift, not just a rename. It lays out why the runtime you already built (LangGraph director, outline & scene pipeline, exports, UI) is valuable for any domain you can describe—product launches, onboarding labs, executive briefings, compliance reviews, etc. The code changes you’ve made:

1. Make the prompts persona-driven: the outline/scene/action templates now ask “experience architects” to deliver context, demos, and calls-to-action, not lectures.
2. Reframe the agents so they live in enterprise language (“Experience Lead,” “Implementation Coach,” “Curiosity Catalyst”) instead of classroom roles, aligning the director logic with real-world conversations.
3. Include demo scripts + documentation that log the new prompts/proofs even when no live AI is available, so everyone sees exactly what the open-world flow looks like.

The path is solid—tests/lint pass, dependencies are installed, and the README already explains how to run both the demo script and the test suite. Keep shipping prompt variations + output snapshots, and “OpenMAIC Open World” will become the versatile platform you’re describing.

Cyxworld flavor

Cyxworld is the branded face of Open-world in this repo. "Cyx" stands for Cognitive Yielding Xperiential. Treat it as the curated identity you load when you want a product-flavored story rather than a raw prompt engine:

1. Positioning: Refer to Cyxworld as the flagship scenario built on Open-world so users understand they are riding a branded story on a flexible runtime.
2. Tone: Swap in Cyx-aligned avatars, copy, or prompt snippets when the experience should feel proprietary, while keeping the pipeline itself unchanged.
3. Narrative shorthand: Mention "running Cyxworld mode" whenever you document or demo those sample prompts; it signals which prompt/persona combo to load.

The persona/prompt work remains general, but the Cyxworld label gives your stakeholders a tangible name and direction for those enterprise-ready flows.

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.

✨ Features

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

Classroom Discussion — Agents proactively initiate discussions; you can jump in anytime or get called on Roundtable Debate — Multiple agents with different personas discuss a topic, with whiteboard illustrations Q&A Mode — Ask questions freely; the AI teacher responds with slides, diagrams, or whiteboard drawings Whiteboard — AI agents draw on a shared whiteboard in real time — solving equations step by step, sketching flowcharts, or illustrating concepts visually.

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: clawhub install openmaic Or copy manually: mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills cp -R /path/to/OpenMAIC/skills/openmaic ~/.openclaw/skills/openmaic

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"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
