SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many WhatsApp voice notes are inaccessible to chat agents and humans who prefer text; this Skill turns PTT audio into readable text so agents can understand and respond to voice messages without manual listening.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic transcription: Downloads incoming WhatsApp PTT audio and converts it into text delivered to the agent as [Voice: <transcript>].
  • OpenAI Whisper integration: Uses the OpenAI Whisper API with an OPENAI_API_KEY and includes fallbacks for missing keys, API errors, and download failures.
  • Developer-friendly packaging: Adds deterministic code changes, unit tests, and a manifest to apply the skill safely into NanoClaw with clear intent files for merges.
  • Use case: Enable agents to read and act on voice notes from registered WhatsApp groups, improving accessibility and automation for conversational workflows.

Quick Start

Send a voice note to any registered WhatsApp chat and confirm the agent receives it as [Voice: <transcript>].
