How to install Audio Reply
The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:
- Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
- Open the in-app Skills panel.
- Search for
audio-reply-skilland click Install. - The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.
Install from the command line
If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add Audio Reply with a single command:
openclaw skills add audio-reply-skill
This pulls audio-reply-skill from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/audio-reply-skill/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.
How to use Audio Reply
Once installed, Audio Reply 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
Audio Reply 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.
