What this skill does

It launches a real-time AI avatar powered by LiveAvatar: you speak into your microphone, the avatar transcribes your speech and sends it to your OpenClaw Gateway, then speaks the agent's response back with lip-synced video. Features include voice-to-voice conversation, a text chat fallback, smart TTS summarization for long responses, echo cancellation (it won't respond to itself) and multiple avatar choices. Setup requires LIVEAVATAR_API_KEY, a running OpenClaw Gateway, Node.js 18+ and a modern browser with microphone access.

## Setup

### 1. Get Your API Key (Free)

1. Go to [app.liveavatar.com](https://app.liveavatar.com)
2. Create a free account
3. Copy your API key from the dashboard

### 2. Set Your API Key

```bash
export LIVEAVATAR_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
```

Or add to `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:

```json
{
  "skills": {
    "entries": {
      "liveavatar": {
        "env": {
          "LIVEAVATAR_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Usage

Run `/liveavatar` to start the video avatar interface.

When the user runs this command:

1. **Check if LIVEAVATAR_API_KEY is set**. If not, tell them:
   > You need a LiveAvatar API key. Get one free at https://app.liveavatar.com
   > Then set it: `export LIVEAVATAR_API_KEY=your_key`

2. **Launch the interface**:
   ```bash
   npx openclaw-liveavatar
   ```

3. **Tell the user**:
   > Your LiveAvatar interface is starting at http://localhost:3001
   > It will connect automatically to your OpenClaw Gateway.
   >
   > Tips:
   > - Allow microphone access when prompted
   > - Click the green mic button to speak
   > - The avatar will respond with your agent's answers
   > - Click the X button to end the session

## How It Works

```
You speak → Avatar transcribes → OpenClaw processes → Avatar speaks response
```

1. **Voice Input**: Speak into your microphone
2. **Transcription**: LiveAvatar converts speech to text
3. **Agent Processing**: Text sent to OpenClaw Gateway (port 18789)
4. **Response**: Agent response returned
5. **Avatar Speech**: Avatar speaks with natural lip-sync
