If you still regard the popular GitHub app "OpenClaw" as a cold and simple plugin that only replies with text, you are already out of date. On March 9, the Chinese AI giant MiniMax officially announced that it has deeply integrated its top-tier Speech and Music models and released them as new skills (Skill) on the OpenClaw ecosystem. This means that your "小龙虾" (Little Crabs) now not only has a soul but also a variety of voices and the talent to create music.

The most direct change from this "cross-industry" collaboration lies in the way of communication. By learning the "Voice Maker" skill on Clawhub, users just need to provide MiniMax's API Key to enable "Little Crabs" to reply with voice in office software such as Feishu, Enterprise WeChat, and DingTalk. It comes with more than 40 languages and nearly 100 preset voice styles, and even supports "custom voice style" - you just need to describe the sensory effect you want in natural language, and it will create a personalized voice for you.

Not only can "Little Crabs" speak, it is also a hidden music producer. After loading the "Music Maker" skill, it can easily create pop songs, relaxing instrumental music, or casual singing demos. For professional players, the official also prepared the "Music Expert" advanced skill, supporting detailed adjustments to musical sections and structured tags, like a 24/7 available "virtual band."

The operation threshold is surprisingly low. Users just need to download the corresponding zip file and upload it to the MaxClaw chat window, and they can complete the installation through simple natural language interaction. This "plug-and-play" model has made AI agents completely leave the single text-based interaction and is rapidly evolving into a versatile, personable "AI companion."

In this 2026 year where "everything can be AI," the collaboration between MiniMax and OpenClaw is making our office software increasingly "humanized." The next time you receive a voice message from "Little Crabs" on Feishu, don't be surprised - it might be a song it just wrote for you.
