- Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
- Open the in-app Skills panel.

minimax-understand-imageand click Install. - The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.
Install from the command line

How to use minimax-understand-image
Once installed, minimax-understand-image 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
minimax-understand-image 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.
