OpenClaw released v2026.4.24 and v2026.4.25 this week, according to the project’s GitHub releases page. The two updates add full-agent voice call routing, native DeepSeek V4 model support, a Google Meet participant plugin, expanded text-to-speech coverage, and browser automation improvements.
Voice Routing to the Full Agent
The headline change in v2026.4.24 is voice call routing directly to the full agent. Previously, voice interactions required handoff steps between the voice interface and the underlying agent. The new architecture routes calls straight through, enabling end-to-end conversational task execution over phone and voice channels.
Blockchain News reported that the change reduces handoff friction in contact center and SaaS workflows, where agents handling inbound calls previously lost context during the transfer between voice and task execution layers.
The v2026.4.25 follow-up expanded TTS capabilities further: per-agent and per-account voice overrides, chat-scoped auto-TTS controls, persona support, and seven new provider integrations including Azure Speech, Xiaomi, Inworld, Volcengine, ElevenLabs v3, and a local CLI option.
DeepSeek V4 Flash and Pro
Both DeepSeek V4 Flash and V4 Pro are now in OpenClaw’s bundled model catalog, with V4 Flash set as the onboarding default for new installations. The dual-model setup enables cost-performance routing: lightweight tasks go to Flash (cheaper, faster) while complex reasoning tasks route to Pro.
This follows DeepSeek’s V4 preview release on April 24, which introduced 1 million token context windows and open-source weights. OpenClaw’s integration means self-hosted operators can run DeepSeek V4 locally or through API providers without external dependencies on closed-source model vendors.
Google Meet as a Native Plugin
Google Meet joins OpenClaw as a bundled participant plugin in v2026.4.24. The integration supports personal Google authentication, Chrome and Twilio realtime sessions, paired-node Chrome support for headless environments, artifact and attendance exports, and recovery tooling for already-open Meet tabs. The v2026.4.25 release added calendar-backed attendance export workflows with dry-run previews.
The Meet integration positions OpenClaw as a meeting-native autonomous work layer. Agents can join meetings, transcribe participants, export summaries, and trigger follow-up actions without requiring users to switch between tools.
Browser Automation Improvements
Browser RPA received coordinate-level click support and improved error recovery across both releases. The v2026.4.24 update added the core coordinate click capability. The v2026.4.25 follow-up added safe tab URLs in agent responses, iframe-aware role snapshots, CDP readiness tuning for slower hosts (including Raspberry Pi), and a headless one-shot launch mode.
These changes target reliability in unattended browser automation scenarios: checkout flows, KYC capture, dashboard scraping, and internal tool interactions where agents operate without human supervision.
Platform Hardening
Beyond the feature additions, v2026.4.25 expanded OpenTelemetry coverage across model calls, token usage, tool loops, harness runs, exec processes, outbound delivery, context assembly, and memory pressure. Plugin startup moved to a cold persisted registry, reducing manifest scan overhead. Install and update hardening covered Windows, macOS, Linux, Docker, and Node service restarts.
