What this skill does
Connect an agent to Speak AI and orient it in the workspace. Covers the remote OAuth connection, the local stdio connection with an API key, the 113 MCP tools across 15 categories, the 5 resources, the 3 built-in prompts, and the first workflows to run. Use this when you need to set up the Speak AI MCP server, when a Speak AI tool is missing or returning 401, or when you need to know which tool to call to transcribe a recording, read a transcript or captions, search across a media library, ask questions about recordings, create clips, export transcripts, run voice and video surveys with recorders, schedule the meeting assistant for Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, or manage folders, custom fields, webhooks, automations, dashboards and team members.
Speak AI is part of the Developer Tools category — developer tools that help your agent write, review, debug, and ship code. You can install it on its own or alongside other developer tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.
How to install Speak AI
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
speakaiand 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 Speak AI with a single command:
openclaw skills add speakai
This pulls speakai from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/speakai/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.
How to use Speak AI
Once installed, Speak 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 video into a finished short
Speak AI works with video. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — reframes to vertical, cleans the audio, cuts dead air, burns animated captions, and exports a version sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
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)
