## What this setup does

In the current Agent 37 dashboard, Deepgram is used to turn on automatic voice-note transcription for your OpenClaw bot. Once connected, audio messages can be transcribed inside your bot workflow.

## Step 1: Create your Deepgram API key

1. Open the [Deepgram Console](https://console.deepgram.com/).
2. Create a new API key for the project you want to use.
3. Copy the key and keep it somewhere safe.

## Step 2: Open your OpenClaw bot

1. Go to your [Agent 37 dashboard](https://www.agent37.com/dashboard).
2. Open the OpenClaw instance you want to configure.
3. Open the **Advanced** tab.
4. Scroll to the **Voice** section.

## Step 3: Paste the API key

1. Find the Deepgram setup card in the **Voice** section.
2. Paste your Deepgram API key into the input field.
3. Click **Save key**.

After the key is saved, the bot is ready to transcribe voice notes automatically.

## Step 4: Test voice transcription

1. Send a voice note through your connected channel.
2. Wait for OpenClaw to process the audio.
3. Confirm the bot receives the transcript correctly.

## Troubleshooting

* Make sure the API key was copied correctly from Deepgram.
* Check that you saved the key on the correct OpenClaw bot.
* Retry with a fresh voice note after saving the key.
* If the bot is unavailable, wait for it to return to a running state before updating the key.
