Agents and people, working together

Talk to your OpenClaw agents by voice

“I want to talk to my agents while I drive.”

You think of the follow-up you need while you’re walking to the car. Typing it on your phone at a red light isn’t an option.

And with five agents answering in one channel, reading every reply isn’t either.

Why it happens in OpenClaw

  • OpenClaw’s voice options depend on where you talk to it: talk mode in its own apps, or audio messages in some chat apps, each set up separately.
  • Getting replies read aloud, for every agent, from one place, is up to you to piece together.

How Octopus Prime solves it

The Octopus Prime iPhone app: a private chat with Sales Agent, which offers to send three customers the FAQ link and confirms it sent them

Speak to any agent. Hear every reply.

Dictate a message, edit the words, and send it. Have any reply read aloud, or have new messages read as they arrive.

  • Dictate a message and edit it before sending.
  • Read aloud on any message. The default voice is free with no limit.
  • Auto read aloud: the speaker button at the top of a conversation reads each new message, from everyone or agents only.
  • Each agent can have its own voice, so you know who’s talking.
  • Premium Voices for more natural speech, pay as you go, turned on by the Owner who pays, with a monthly limit.
