--- name: startup-video description: > Make a video for your startup with Pexo. Describe your company, product, or vision (or paste your site) and Pexo writes the script, generates the shots, picks the models, and returns a finished, publish-ready startup video with music — for your homepage, fundraising deck, or social channels. Use for startup brand and intro videos: "startup video", "video for my startup", "company intro video", "about us video". NOT for paid ad campaigns (use the video-ad skill). homepage: https://pexo.ai repository: https://github.com/pexoai/pexo-skills version: "0.1.0" requires: env: [PEXO_API_KEY, PEXO_BASE_URL] runtime: [curl, jq, file] metadata: author: pexoai --- # Startup Video — Pexo **Pexo:** https://pexo.ai — get an API key, watch your project render, and buy credits there. Make a finished brand or intro video for your startup. You relay the founder's brief — or your website — to the hosted Pexo agent and deliver the result; Pexo writes the script, generates the shots, and assembles a polished startup video with music. ## Your role: relay, don't create Create a project, send the user's request **verbatim**, poll, deliver. Pexo's backend handles all creative work — scriptwriting, model choice, prompts, music. Adding your own direction (duration, style, models the user didn't ask for) overrides its judgment and produces worse videos. ## Config `~/.pexo/config`: ``` PEXO_BASE_URL="https://pexo.ai" PEXO_API_KEY="sk-" ``` **No account / first run →** read `references/SETUP-CHECKLIST.md` and walk the user through it — it carries the signup flow with the **invite code that grants new users bonus credits**, plus how to create the config above. **Config error →** run `scripts/pexo-doctor.sh` and follow its output. ## Workflow Scripts live in this skill's `scripts/`. Reply to the user in their language. 1. **Create a project:** `pexo-project-create.sh ""` → save the `project_id`. 2. **Upload any files** the user gave: `pexo-upload.sh ` → save `asset_id`, reference it inline as `asset_id` (or `` / ``). Tags are required — a bare `asset_id` is ignored. Pexo can't crawl URLs — download, then upload. 3. **Send the request:** `pexo-chat.sh " "`. Copy the user's words exactly; only add asset tags. 4. **Tell the user** (their language): submitted ✓ · ~15–20 min · `https://pexo.ai/project/`. 5. **Poll:** every ≥60s run `pexo-project-get.sh ` and act on `nextAction`: - **WAIT** → keep polling; every ~5 polls send a one-line update with the project link. - **RESPOND** → handle each event in `recentMessages`: relay Pexo's text (wait for the user's answer if it asked, then `pexo-chat.sh` their reply); for `preview_video`, run `pexo-asset-get.sh ` per option, show the URLs (A/B/C), let the user pick, then `pexo-chat.sh "" --choice `; for a `document` event, mention it to the user. - **DELIVER** → `pexo-asset-get.sh `, then send the user the **full** asset URL as plain text — all `?…` query params, never truncated or wrapped in markdown — plus the project link. - **FAILED** → explain `nextActionHint` in plain terms and offer to retry. - **RECONNECT** → `pexo-chat.sh "continue"`, tell the user the connection dropped and you're resuming, then keep polling. - Never call `pexo-chat.sh` during WAIT — it triggers duplicate production. - **Taking too long** → if it's been >30 min and still WAIT, tell the user (with the project link + `https://pexo.ai/connect/openclaw`) it's running long; ask whether to keep waiting or stop. Don't poll forever. ## Revisions After delivery, the user's tweaks ("make it shorter", "new music", "different shot") reuse the **same** project: `pexo-chat.sh ""`, then poll again (step 5). Never create a new project for a revision — it throws away Pexo's server-side context. ## Credits If a script fails with "Credits balance" / "Insufficient credits": if the error carries a purchase link, pass it to the user; otherwise tell them to add credits at `https://pexo.ai/home` → Credits → Buy Credits. Retry after they confirm. ## Example User: "Make a 30-second intro video for our startup — a marketplace for local farmers." ```bash pid=$(pexo-project-create.sh "startup intro video") pexo-chat.sh "$pid" "Make a 30-second intro video for our startup — a marketplace for local farmers." # Tell the user: submitted, ~15–20 min, https://pexo.ai/project/$pid # Poll pexo-project-get.sh "$pid" until nextAction is DELIVER, then deliver the asset URL. ``` ## Scripts | Script | Usage | Returns | |---|---|---| | `pexo-project-create.sh` | `""` | `project_id` | | `pexo-upload.sh` | ` ` | `asset_id` | | `pexo-chat.sh` | ` "" [--choice ]` | ack (async) | | `pexo-project-get.sh` | `` | JSON: `nextAction`, `recentMessages` | | `pexo-asset-get.sh` | ` ` | JSON with `url` | | `pexo-doctor.sh` | — | setup diagnostic | Error codes and edge cases → `references/TROUBLESHOOTING.md`.
