What is Pexo Video Generator?
The Pexo Video Generator skill empowers AI coding agents to create fully edited videos from simple, natural language prompts. Instead of micro-managing video creation or editing, this skill serves as a relay to the hosted Pexo service. Openclaw Skills leverage this backend to automate high-fidelity asset creation. Pexo's AI handles the entire creative pipeline—including scriptwriting, music selection, voiceover models, subtitle generation, and transitions—resulting in professional video content dynamically.
By serving as an agent-friendly wrapper, it enables developers to prompt video creation within terminal sessions or multi-agent environments. The skill utilizes lightweight bash scripts to communicate with Pexo's robust REST API, managing files, orchestrating conversations, and rendering assets seamlessly without needing heavyweight rendering infrastructure on the host machine.
Pexo Video Generator Use Cases
- Generating marketing videos and social media promos from raw text ideas
- Producing video walkthroughs or visual demos from scripts and image assets
- Quick-turnaround video drafts in automated workflows without manual editing
- Extending AI agent capacities to produce rich multimedia output using specialized Openclaw Skills
How Pexo Video Generator Works
- Project Initiation: The agent runs
pexo-project-create.shwith a project brief, initializing a unique session on Pexo's servers. - Asset Ingestion: If local assets (images, audio clips, or reference videos) are provided, the skill uploads them via
pexo-upload.shand generates an asset tag wrapper (e.g.,<original-image>asset_id</original-image>). - Request Dispatch: The agent sends the user's creative prompt and asset tags to Pexo's processing pipeline using
pexo-chat.sh. - Status Polling & Interaction: The agent continuously queries
pexo-project-get.shto track execution states. During this stage, it handles preview options, answers questions from the Pexo model, or continues the run if there is a disconnect. - Asset Delivery & Refinement: Once processing is complete, the skill fetches the final, high-definition output URL using
pexo-asset-get.sh. It also supports feedback iterations (revisions) on the same project using the same session.
Pexo Video Generator Setup
To get started with Openclaw Skills for Pexo, configure your API credentials and environment:
- Ensure you have the required runtimes installed:
curl,jq, andfile. - Obtain an API key from pexo.ai.
- Create your configuration directory and file at
~/.pexo/config:PEXO_BASE_URL="https://pexo.ai" PEXO_API_KEY="sk-<your-api-key>" - If this is your first run, execute the diagnostics script to ensure setup and dependencies are correct:
./scripts/pexo-doctor.sh - If you run into authorization issues, review the instructions in
references/SETUP-CHECKLIST.mdor check your API key validity.
Pexo Video Generator Data Schema & Taxonomy
This skill leverages a clean schema to keep track of tasks, processing states, and visual assets:
Project State Machine
- WAIT: The project is rendering or queueing. The agent waits and polls periodically without resending requests.
- RESPOND: Interaction is needed. The agent handles text answers, picks visual options (A/B/C), or acknowledges documents.
- DELIVER: Production completed successfully. The agent retrieves the final production asset URL.
- FAILED: Rendering failed. Diagnostic messages provide a path to retry.
- RECONNECT: Re-initiates lost connection with a
continueflag to resume rendering context.

Pexo Video Generator Advanced Features
- Interactive Human-In-The-Loop Choices: Supports mid-production rendering choices (e.g. choosing between preview A, B, or C) directly through standard API handshakes inside the Openclaw Skills pipeline.
- Asset Tagging Engine: Auto-references files through strict XML-like tags (e.g.,
<original-image>) to guide the creative model during layout assembly. - Stateful Video Revisions: Supports sequential refinements on the exact same project context (preserving history) rather than resetting the workspace.
- Fail-safe Reconnection Handling: Detects dropped connections during lengthy renderings and automatically resumes progress via state recovery requests.
