Enable users to call OpenClaw directly instead of typing text messages.

Root Cause

Enable users to call OpenClaw directly instead of typing text messages.

RAW_BUFFERClick to expand / collapse

Summary

Enable users to call OpenClaw directly instead of typing text messages.

Problem to solve

Typing text messages consumes time and is inefficient for users who need quick interactions. Current behavior forces reliance on written input, which slows down workflows and reduces accessibility.

Proposed solution

Introduce a calling feature that allows users to initiate voice calls with OpenClaw.

1.API/UX: Provide a channels.voice option alongside existing text channels.

2.Behavior: Users can speak commands or queries, and OpenClaw responds in real-time.

3.Support: Default fallback to text if voice is unavailable, with account-level override for preferences

Alternatives considered

Third-party voice-to-text integrations add complexity and reduce reliability compared to native support.

Impact

Affected users/systems/channels: All users who rely on OpenClaw for fast communication.

Severity: Medium – slows workflows and reduces efficiency.

Frequency: Daily usage across teams.

Consequence: Adds ~20 minutes/day/operator in delays, increases frustration, and causes slower alerts.

Evidence/examples

No response

Additional information

Voice calling should integrate seamlessly with existing channel structures.

Consider accessibility benefits for users with typing limitations.

Ensure secure handling of audio data with encryption and compliance standards.

Fix Plan

To introduce a calling feature in OpenClaw, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: API Update
    • Add a channels.voice option to the existing API.
    • Example (in Python):

Existing text channel API

class TextChannel: def init(self, id, name): self.id = id self.name = name

Updated API with voice channel option

class Channel: def init(self, id, name, channel_type): self.id = id self.name = name self.channel_type = channel_type

def is_voice(self):
    return self.channel_type == 'voice'

Usage

voice_channel = Channel(1, 'Voice Channel', 'voice') print(voice_channel.is_voice()) # Output: True


* **Step 2: Real-time Voice Processing**
  + Integrate a real-time voice processing library (e.g., WebRTC, Socket.io) to handle voice commands and queries.
  + Example (in JavaScript):
    ```javascript
// Set up WebRTC peer connection
const pc = new RTCPeerConnection();

// Handle voice commands
pc.onaddstream = (event) => {
    // Process voice commands in real-time
    const audioContext = new AudioContext();
    const source = audioContext.createMediaStreamSource(event.stream);
    // ...
};
  • Step 3: Fallback and Preference Handling
    • Implement a default fallback to text if voice is unavailable.
    • Add an account-level override for voice preferences.
    • Example (in Python):

User preferences

class User: def init(self, id, name, preferences): self.id = id self.name = name self.preferences = preferences

def get_preferred_channel(self):
    if self.preferences['voice_enabled']:
        return 'voice'
    else:
        return 'text'

Usage

user = User(1, 'John Doe', {'voice_enabled': True}) print(user.get_preferred_channel()) # Output: voice


### Verification
To verify the fix, test the following scenarios:

* Users can initiate voice calls with OpenClaw.
* OpenClaw responds in real-time to voice commands and queries.
* The system falls back to text if voice is unavailable.
* Users can override their voice preferences at the account level.

### Extra Tips
Ensure secure handling of audio data by implementing encryption and compliance standards. Consider accessibility benefits for users with typing limitations. Monitor system performance and adjust as needed to maintain efficient workflows.
