Fal Ai

What this skill does

Generate images and media using fal.ai API (Flux, Gemini image, etc.). Use when asked to generate images, run AI image models, create visuals, or anything involving fal.ai. Handles queue-based requests with automatic polling.

Fal Ai is part of the Automation & Workflows category — automation and workflow skills that schedule, trigger, and orchestrate tasks. You can install it on its own or alongside other automation & workflows skills from the OpenClaw catalog.

How to install Fal Ai

The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:

1. Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
3. Search for falai and click Install.
4. The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add Fal Ai with a single command:

openclaw skills add falai

This pulls falai from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/falai/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.

How to use Fal Ai

Once installed, Fal Ai 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.

Turning images into video

Fal Ai works with images. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — turns stills into motion — pans and transitions, synced captions, and a vertical export for short-form feeds.

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 .zip button above to grab falai-1.0.2.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/falai/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
3. Restart OpenClaw Easy (or the OpenClaw CLI gateway) so the new skill is discovered.
