SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill prevents voice-only WhatsApp notes from being ignored by automatically converting them into readable text for the agent, eliminating reliance on manual transcription or missed context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Whisper integration: Downloads each voice note, sends it to OpenAI Whisper, and logs [Voice: <transcript>] back to the agent.
  • WhatsApp channel augmentation: Hooks into the WhatsApp channel handling to detect voice messages, transcribe them, and keep the agent flow uninterrupted.
  • Use case: When a user receives a long voice memo, the agent sees its transcript immediately and can respond before the sender finishes speaking.

Quick Start

Ask Auggie to merge the voice transcription skill branch and configure your OpenAI Whisper key so WhatsApp voice notes arrive as readable transcripts.

Transcribe WhatsApp voice notes automatically by merging the voice transcription branch, installing the openai npm dependency, and configuring your OPENAI_API_KEY so Whisper can convert spoken audio into readable text.

How does Whisper integration work for WhatsApp voice messages?

Whisper integration downloads each WhatsApp voice message, sends the audio file to OpenAI Whisper, and logs the resulting transcript as readable text back to the agent for immediate processing.

Do I need an OpenAI API key to convert WhatsApp voice memos to text?

Yes, you need an OpenAI API key. You must configure the OPENAI_API_KEY in the container environment to enable Whisper transcription for converting WhatsApp voice memos to text.

Can I use voice transcription with any WhatsApp agent installation?

Voice transcription applies specifically to NauggieClaw installations running Auggie. It hooks into the WhatsApp channel handling to detect voice messages and transcribe them before agent processing.

Why are WhatsApp voice notes being ignored by my automated agent?

WhatsApp voice notes are ignored when no transcription layer exists. Adding automatic Whisper transcription prevents missed context by converting spoken content into readable text the agent can process.
