Building a Multi‑Tool OpenClaw Agent: An Automated Meeting Assistant for Summaries, Action Items, and Calendar Management

# Building a Multi‑Tool OpenClaw Agent

*An automated meeting assistant that records, transcribes, summarizes, extracts action items, and creates calendar events.*

—

## Overview

In this tutorial we will walk developers through setting up **OpenClaw** on UBOS, adding three powerful tools—**Transcription**, **Summarization**, and **Calendar Integration**—and wiring them together to build a meeting‑assistant agent. By the end you will have a working system that can:

1. Record a meeting (or upload an audio file).
2. Transcribe the audio to text.
3. Summarize the discussion and extract actionable items.
4. Automatically create calendar events for the next steps.

All of this runs on your UBOS instance, leveraging the OpenClaw framework for easy tool orchestration.

—

## Prerequisites

– A UBOS server with SSH access.
– Docker installed (UBOS ships with Docker pre‑configured).
– Basic familiarity with the command line and Git.
– An account on a calendar provider that supports iCal/Google Calendar API (we’ll use Google Calendar in the example).

## 1. Install OpenClaw

OpenClaw is a lightweight orchestration engine that lets you chain AI tools together.

bash
# SSH into your UBOS server
ssh ubos@your‑server.ubos.tech

# Clone the OpenClaw repository
git clone https://github.com/ubos-tech/openclaw.git
cd openclaw

# Start OpenClaw using Docker Compose
docker compose up -d

OpenClaw will be reachable at `http://localhost:8000` (or the public URL you expose).

## 2. Add a Transcription Tool

We will use **Whisper** (OpenAI’s open‑source model) for transcription.

bash
# Inside the OpenClaw directory, create a new tool definition
mkdir -p tools/transcribe && cd tools/transcribe

cat > tool.yaml < tool.yaml < tool.yaml < pipeline.yaml < service.yaml <<'EOF'
name: meeting‑assistant‑api
description: HTTP API that accepts an audio file and returns a meeting summary.
pipeline: meeting-assistant
endpoint: /api/meeting-assistant
method: POST
EOF

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/services -d @service.yaml

Now you can call:

bash
curl -X POST http://your‑ubos‑host/api/meeting-assistant \
-F "audio=@meeting.wav"

The response JSON includes `summary`, `action_items`, and `calendar_status`.

## 7. Publish the Article

You can host the full tutorial on UBOS using the built‑in blog engine. The article is already formatted in Markdown above; the platform will render it as HTML automatically.

For more details on hosting OpenClaw on UBOS, see the dedicated guide: [Host OpenClaw on UBOS](/agent/copywriter)

## Conclusion

By following these steps you now have a **multi‑tool OpenClaw agent** that turns raw meeting recordings into actionable insights and calendar events—all running on your UBOS server. Feel free to extend the pipeline with additional tools such as sentiment analysis, task‑tracking integrations, or custom notification channels.

Happy building!
