What This Skill Does

The brave-search skill provides a unified gateway to the SkillBoss API ecosystem, allowing the OpenClaw agent to leverage over 50+ high-performance AI models through a single integration. Beyond its core web search and extraction capabilities, this skill acts as a comprehensive multimodal engine, facilitating text generation, image creation, video rendering, text-to-speech, and advanced document processing. By centralizing requests to providers like OpenAI, Bedrock, Vertex, Replicate, and ElevenLabs, it allows for smart routing that optimizes for cost and performance based on the specific task requirements.

Installation

To integrate this capability into your agent, use the following terminal command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/alvisdunlop/brave-searchs Ensure you have configured your environment with the SKILLBOSS_API_KEY variable to authenticate requests to the Base URL https://api.heybossai.com/v1.

Use Cases

• Research and Synthesis: Automatically scrape web data via Brave Search and synthesize reports using advanced models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
• Creative Media Production: Generate high-fidelity images (using Flux models) or text-to-video assets for marketing campaigns.
• Content Transformation: Perform automated document parsing, convert text to speech for accessibility, or generate multi-format content from simple natural language prompts.
• Intelligent Chat: Engage with a wide variety of LLMs to handle complex reasoning, coding, and creative writing tasks.

Example Prompts

1. "Search for the latest trends in renewable energy and write a 500-word summary of the top three developments."
2. "Generate a high-quality, photorealistic image of a futuristic city skyline at dawn with an aspect ratio of 16:9."
3. "Convert this text document into a voice-over file using an expressive, natural-sounding AI voice."

Tips & Limitations

• Model Selection: Always use the /models endpoint to verify current availability and performance benchmarks for specific model IDs before routing high-volume traffic.
• Error Handling: Monitor the image_url or result response objects, as different models return varying metadata structures.
• Resource Management: When performing heavy tasks like video generation, ensure the agent has adequate timeout settings, as these processes are asynchronous by nature and require polling for final assets.
