How to hear overnight bot results read aloud with Open Maus Bot

Turn on spoken replies so a bot reads its answers as they land, using a voice you pick.

Credentials. Cloud voice providers need your own API key, which the app stores locally and shows only as a configured flag.

Who it is forA busy operator who runs bots overnight or while away from the screen and wants to hear the results.

The problemLong bot runs produce text that is slow to read through, so results go unnoticed until someone opens the chat.

The outcomeEach bot reads its replies aloud with its own voice, and you can call a bot to ask about its work.

What you need first

  • A computer running macOS, Windows, or Ubuntu 24.04 x64, with the OpenMausBot app downloaded from openmausbot.com or the latest release page
  • At least one of the claude, codex or grok CLIs installed and logged in on your own machine
  • A team playbook .md file, either from BotMRR or the open-source playbook repository
  • Accounts for any apps you want bots to use, such as Gmail or Slack, approved through OAuth

Steps

  1. Open the agent profile for the bot and choose a voice provider: ElevenLabs, Fish Audio, Grok (xAI), built-in Mac voices, or a local Chatterbox server.
  2. For a cloud provider, paste the key once; for Grok, save your xAI API key in Settings → Connections first.
  3. Pick a voice under Voice & alerts for that bot.
  4. Switch the bot to read its answers out as they land, or press the speaker on a single reply.
  5. Hit call to talk to the bot, which tells you what it is doing and asks for approvals out loud.

Prompt for your agent

Using the OpenMausBot repo at github.com/milind-soni/OpenMausBot, set the voice for the bot <bot-name> to <voice-provider> and read one reply aloud. Expected output: confirmation that the reply was spoken and which voice was used. Verify that the provider key is shown only as a configured flag.

Caveat. For Grok voices the README says quality varies outside xAI's officially supported languages, and microphone transcription is unchanged.
