How to use the Podcast Generation from PDF, Text, and Links skill

Once installed, the Podcast Generation from PDF, Text, and Links skill activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Putting audio in front of an audience

Podcast Generation from PDF, Text, and Links works with audio. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — pairs audio with footage or generated visuals, burns synced captions, and exports a finished short.

It runs as an MCP server, so an OpenClaw agent can drive it from the same chat you already use: ask for a short, and the render comes back finished. See how to connect a video pipeline to your agent.

Manual install (advanced)

If you prefer manual installation:

1. Click the Download skill .zip button above to grab ai-podcast-1.0.11.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/ai-podcast/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
