🦞 Claw Desktop Pet — Give OpenClaw a Body

A desktop AI companion that gives your OpenClaw agent a physical presence on your desktop.

What is it?

A 67px fluid glass ball that lives on your desktop — it breathes, blinks, speaks, and reacts. Messages appear like floating desktop lyrics with white glow text. Your agent isn't invisible anymore.

Features

• 🫧 Fluid Glass Ball — 67px sphere with 7 mood color systems
• 👀 15+ Eye Expressions — blink, curious, sleepy, surprised, follow mouse
• 🎵 Desktop Lyrics — typewriter text, white glow, mouse pass-through
• 🎤 Voice Cloning — MiniMax Speech with 7 emotions, auto detection
• 🎨 Dual Window Architecture — sprite + lyrics, fully transparent
• ⚫ Offline/Online Animation — gray sleep → colorful revival with particles
• 💬 Feishu/Lark Sync — bidirectional message sync
• 🛡️ Enterprise Stability — auto-restart, error handling, performance monitoring

Quick Start

# Clone the project
git clone https://github.com/kk43994/claw-desktop-pet.git
cd claw-desktop-pet

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start (basic mode)
npm start

# Full AI mode — requires OpenClaw gateway running

Voice Setup (Optional)

MiniMax Speech (Recommended — voice cloning + emotions)

Set your MiniMax API key in pet-config.json:

{
  "minimax": {
    "apiKey": "your-api-key",
    "voiceId": "your-cloned-voice-id"
  }
}

Fallback: Edge TTS (Free, no setup)

Works out of the box — uses Microsoft Edge TTS as fallback.
