You can pause the mic or stop playback at any time. Built for CarPlay ClawVoice brings your OpenClaw agent into CarPlay with a simple driver-friendly voice interface. Start voice mode, listen for responses, and stop audio without reaching for the full phone UI. Bring Your Own Agent ClawVoice connects directly to your OpenClaw gateway. Use your own server, VPS, Tailscale setup, or reachable gateway URL. Your agent, your infrastructure, your control. Text Chat When You Need It Prefer typing? Use the chat screen for regular text prompts, streaming responses, and quick follow-ups. The mic in chat mode works as dictation, so you can speak into the input, review the text, then send manually.
