OpenClaw LiveAvatar

Give your OpenClaw agent a face and voice! This skill launches a real-time AI avatar that you can talk to naturally using your microphone. The avatar listens to you, sends your speech to your OpenClaw agent, and speaks the response back with lip-synced video.

Setup

1. Get Your API Key (Free)

Go to app.liveavatar.com
Create a free account
Copy your API key from the dashboard

2. Set Your API Key

export LIVEAVATAR_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Or add to

~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

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

Usage

Launch the interface:
