Overview

Audio/TTS setup completed. Major progress on Evie's memoir project. Cleaned up cron jobs.

Key Events

1. Audio/TTS Setup Completed

• Installed Edge-TTS via pipx for local text-to-speech
• Configured OpenClaw to use Edge-TTS (zh-CN-XiaoxiaoNeural voice)
• Updated OpenClaw STT to use local Whisper (fixed broken mlx-whisper path)
• Successfully tested TTS: sent voice message to +6598677365 via WhatsApp
• Attempted mlx-audio installation but encountered Python 3.14 compatibility issues

2. Cron Job Cleanup

• Stopped "Drink Water Reminder" cron job at user's request
• Cleaned up 40+ stale narrator-evie cron sessions
• Verified 7 main agent cron sessions remain (harmless)

3. Evie's Memoir Project Progress

• Continued interview with Evie via WhatsApp
• Collected 2 story fragments:
  1. "咖啡厅里的黑色背影" — How she met Jimmy at a Web3 coffee shop event
  2. "孕期的每晚按摩与期许" — Jimmy's nightly massages during pregnancy
• Entities extracted: Jimmy, Evy, baby, coffee shop, Web3 event

4. Model/API Issues Resolved

• narrator-evie agent hit Gemini 3.1 Pro rate limit (250 requests/day)
• Fallback to Kimi K2.5 working successfully
• Changed narrator-evie to use Kimi K2.5 permanently

5. iMessage Integration Request

• User wants to pair iMessage/SMS with OpenClaw
• Options discussed:
  • CLI-based (imsg) — can send only
  • BlueBubbles Server — REST API for iMessage
  • Native macOS frameworks — simpler but fragile

Decisions Made

1. Edge-TTS recommended over local MLX models for now
2. narrator-evie permanently on Kimi K2.5 (avoid Gemini rate limits)
3. Weekly memoir summaries → Jimmy (+6598677365), NOT Evie
4. Evie receives interview messages only

Technical Notes

• Python 3.14 has compatibility issues with some ML libraries (mecab-python3, spacy)
• OpenClaw TTS/STT both working locally (free, offline)
• Session stats: 24 active (down from 61 after cleanup)
