ClawTalk iOS App Enables Voice Chat with Self-Hosted OpenClaw AI Agents
Native iOS Voice Interface for OpenClaw
ClawTalk is an open-source iOS application that enables voice-based interaction with self-hosted OpenClaw AI agents. The app provides a push-to-talk interface where users can speak to their agents and receive both text and spoken responses.
Key Technical Features
- On-Device Speech Processing: Speech-to-text runs locally using WhisperKit, leveraging Apple's Neural Engine to keep audio data on the phone
- Real-Time Response Streaming: Agent responses stream in real-time with markdown rendering support
- Multiple TTS Options: Responses can be spoken back using ElevenLabs, OpenAI TTS, or Apple's built-in voice synthesis
- Multi-Agent Support: Supports separate conversations with different agents/models through multi-agent channels
- Tools Dashboard: Includes a dashboard for interacting with agent internals
- Media Support: Supports image attachments in conversations
Implementation Details
The app is fully open source under the MIT license and available on GitHub. It's designed specifically for users running OpenClaw for their self-hosted LLM setups, providing a mobile voice interface to complement existing text-based interactions.
