Problem

When using the WeChat plugin, the entire AI response is sent as one message after the model finishes generating. Even with blockStreaming: false in config, users dont see the response appear piece by piece — they only see it when the full response is ready. This means users have to wait a long time without any feedback, especially for long responses.

Expected behavior

For long responses, it would be much better if the WeChat plugin could send partial responses in real-time, as the model generates them, rather than waiting for the complete response first.

Use case

  • Users want to see partial results immediately while the AI is still typing
  • This gives feedback that the system is working and reduces perceived wait time
  • Similar to how humans type in WeChat — the other person sees typing then receives partial messages

Technical context

  • The WeChat plugin uses sendMessageWeixin which currently sends the complete message
  • OpenClaws streaming infrastructure is already in place (blockStreaming config, etc.)
  • The bottleneck is in the WeChat channel plugin not implementing streaming send

Environment

  • OpenClaw 2026.4.29
  • WeChat plugin 2.3.1
  • Channel: openclaw-weixin

extent analysis

TL;DR

Modify the WeChat plugin to utilize the existing OpenClaws streaming infrastructure by implementing a streaming send feature.

Guidance

  • Investigate the sendMessageWeixin function in the WeChat plugin to understand how it can be modified to send partial responses.
  • Review the OpenClaws streaming infrastructure documentation to ensure proper implementation of the blockStreaming config.
  • Consider adding a callback or hook in the WeChat plugin to send updates as the model generates them, rather than waiting for the complete response.
  • Verify that the WeChat API supports sending partial messages and update the plugin accordingly.

Example

// Pseudocode example of sending partial responses
function sendMessageWeixin(partialResponse) {
  // Check if the response is partial and send it immediately
  if (partialResponse.isPartial) {
    // Send the partial response using the WeChat API
    wechatApi.sendPartialMessage(partialResponse);
  } else {
    // Send the complete response
    wechatApi.sendMessage(partialResponse);
  }
}

Notes

The solution may require modifications to the WeChat plugin and potentially the OpenClaws streaming infrastructure. It is essential to test the changes thoroughly to ensure compatibility and correct functionality.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by modifying the WeChat plugin to implement streaming send, as upgrading to a fixed version is not mentioned in the issue. This approach allows for a targeted solution to the specific problem, rather than waiting for a potential future update.
