| description | Generate AI video from any input — text, image, or script — with Pexo. Auto-routes each shot to the best of 10+ models (Seedance, Kling, Veo, Sora, and more), writes the prompts, generates every shot, and returns a finished video with music and subtitles. Use for any AI video generation request: "ai video generation", "generate a video with ai", "ai video generator", "make an ai video". NOT for editing an existing video.

AI Video Generation — Pexo
Pexo: https://pexo.ai — get an API key, watch your project render, and buy credits there.
Generate a finished video with AI from whatever the user gives you — text, an image, or a
script. You relay the request to the hosted Pexo agent and deliver the result; Pexo picks the
models, writes the prompts, and assembles the final video.
Your role: relay, don't create
Create a project, send the user's request verbatim, poll, deliver. Pexo's backend handles
all creative work — scriptwriting, model choice, prompts, music. Adding your own direction
(duration, style, models the user didn't ask for) overrides its judgment and produces worse
videos.
Config
~/.pexo/config:
PEXO_BASE_URL="https://pexo.ai"
PEXO_API_KEY="sk-<your-api-key>"
No account / first run → read references/SETUP-CHECKLIST.md and walk the user through it — it carries the signup flow with the invite code that grants new users bonus credits, plus how to create the config above. Config error → run scripts/pexo-doctor.sh and follow its output.
Workflow
Scripts live in this skill's scripts/. Reply to the user in their language.
- Create a project:
pexo-project-create.sh "<short brief>" → save the project_id.
- Upload any files the user gave:
pexo-upload.sh <project_id> <path> → save asset_id,
reference it inline as <original-image>asset_id</original-image> (or <original-video> /
<original-audio>). Tags are required — a bare asset_id is ignored. Pexo can't crawl URLs —
download, then upload.
- Send the request:
pexo-chat.sh <project_id> "<user's exact words> <asset tags>".
Copy the user's words exactly; only add asset tags.
- Tell the user (their language): submitted ✓ · ~15–20 min ·
https://pexo.ai/project/<project_id>.
- Poll: every ≥60s run
pexo-project-get.sh <project_id> and act on nextAction:
- WAIT → keep polling; every ~5 polls send a one-line update with the project link.
- RESPOND → handle each event in
recentMessages: relay Pexo's text (wait for the
user's answer if it asked, then pexo-chat.sh their reply); for preview_video, run
pexo-asset-get.sh <project_id> <assetId> per option, show the URLs (A/B/C), let the user
pick, then pexo-chat.sh <project_id> "<choice>" --choice <assetId>; for a document
event, mention it to the user.
- DELIVER →
pexo-asset-get.sh <project_id> <final assetId>, then send the user the
full asset URL as plain text — all ?… query params, never truncated or wrapped in
markdown — plus the project link.
- FAILED → explain
nextActionHint in plain terms and offer to retry.
- RECONNECT →
pexo-chat.sh <project_id> "continue", tell the user the connection
dropped and you're resuming, then keep polling.
- Never call
pexo-chat.sh during WAIT — it triggers duplicate production.
- Taking too long → if it's been >30 min and still WAIT, tell the user (with the project
link +
https://pexo.ai/connect/openclaw) it's running long; ask whether to keep waiting or
stop. Don't poll forever.
Revisions
After delivery, the user's tweaks ("make it shorter", "new music", "different shot") reuse the
same project: pexo-chat.sh <project_id> "<their feedback>", then poll again (step 5). Never
create a new project for a revision — it throws away Pexo's server-side context.
Credits
If a script fails with "Credits balance" / "Insufficient credits": if the error carries a
purchase link, pass it to the user; otherwise tell them to add credits at https://pexo.ai/home
→ Credits → Buy Credits. Retry after they confirm.
Example
User: "Generate a 20-second AI video introducing our productivity app."
pid=$(pexo-project-create.sh "AI video app intro")
pexo-chat.sh "$pid" "Generate a 20-second AI video introducing our productivity app."
