Athena Local Talk for OpenClaw

This private OpenClaw provider connects browser/Desktop Talk to the existing Athena speech stack:

local VAD collects a spoken utterance,
Athena Whisper transcribes it,
OpenClaw's normal agent-consult path answers with its configured model and tools,
Athena XTTS/Piper returns PCM audio to the Talk client.

No public speech provider is used. The provider reuses the already configured models.providers.athena base URL and API key; no second key copy is required.

Recommended talk.realtime configuration:

{
  "provider": "athena-talk",
  "model": "athena-local",
  "speakerVoice": "alloy",
  "language": "de",
  "mode": "realtime",
  "transport": "gateway-relay",
  "brain": "agent-consult",
  "providers": {
    "athena-talk": {
      "vadThreshold": 0.018,
      "silenceDurationMs": 750,
      "prefixPaddingMs": 300,
      "maxSpeechSeconds": 45
    }
  }
}

Install from the OpenClaw container with openclaw plugins install <path> and restart the gateway once. The plugin is stored in OpenClaw's persistent data directory, so normal image updates do not remove it.
