grok-imagine-video
xAI Grok Imagine API integration for image generation, text-to-video, image-to-video, and editing via natural language. Use when you need to generate images or videos from text prompts, edit existing images, animate static images into videos, or edit existing videos with natural language instructions. Supports conversational generation across messaging platforms with async polling, progress updates, and automatic delivery.
Why use this skill?
Integrate Grok Imagine into your AI agent for powerful text-to-video, image generation, and creative editing. Boost your productivity with automated media workflows.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/devvgwardo/grok-imagine-videoWhat This Skill Does
The grok-imagine-video skill acts as a powerful bridge between your AI agent and xAI's Grok Imagine API. It enables sophisticated generative AI capabilities directly within your messaging workflow, including high-fidelity text-to-image creation, image-to-video animation, text-to-video synthesis, and nuanced image or video editing. By leveraging asynchronous polling, the skill manages long-running video generation tasks seamlessly, allowing the agent to provide progress updates before delivering final media assets directly to the user.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, ensure you have the OpenClaw agent running, then execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/devvgwardo/grok-imagine-video
After installation, you must configure your xAI credentials. Retrieve your API key from the xAI console and export it as an environment variable in your session:
export XAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
Use Cases
This skill is designed for creative professional workflows, prototyping, and media management. Use it to generate concept art for project visualizations, create engaging social media video content from simple text descriptions, or perform rapid iterations on existing visual assets using natural language. It is particularly effective for developers building media-heavy applications who need an automated, code-driven approach to generative visual content.
Example Prompts
- "Generate a realistic image of an astronaut sitting in a cozy library with neon lighting."
- "Edit this image to change the background from a city street to a lush, tropical jungle."
- "Create a 10-second video of a sunrise over a snowy mountain peak, and let me know when it is ready."
Tips & Limitations
- API Costs: Remember that xAI API usage may incur costs associated with your xAI account; monitor your usage via the xAI console.
- Temporary Assets: Generated media URLs are often temporary. Always trigger the download function immediately after the agent confirms completion to ensure you persist your files in your local workspace.
- Polling: Video generation is compute-intensive. If a job takes longer than expected, use the provided progress callback to monitor the status and prevent your agent from timing out.
- Security: Never share your
XAI_API_KEYin public logs or chat history. Keep it restricted to your environment variables.
