Here's how to set it up. OpenClaw v2026.5.22 dropped on May 24, 2026, and it's a release worth digging into — not just for the headline 4,000× performance improvement on model listing, but for the quiet debut of the **Meeting Notes plugin**. This how-to walks through what the plugin does, where to get it, and how to wire up Discord voice as your first live source. ## What's New in v2026.5.22 Before we get into setup, a quick overview of what this release actually delivers: - **4,100× faster `/models` endpoint** — the gateway now pre-warms a provider auth-state map at startup, so per-call model listing drops from ~20 seconds to ~5 ms. This applies to all model-listing calls, not just the CLI. - **Meeting Notes plugin** — moved from core into an external source-only plugin, with Discord voice as the inaugural live source. - **npm supply-chain hardening** — shrinkwrap files and earlier acceptance checks to reduce dependency risks. - **Windows installer improvements** — safer shims, portable bootstrap, and rollback support. - **Session picker enhancements** — searchable and paginated interface for managing long session histories. - **Narrower default sub-agent context** — sub-agents now inherit only `AGENTS.md` and `TOOLS.md` by default, reducing context bloat. --- ## What Is the Meeting Notes Plugin? The Meeting Notes plugin is designed to capture, store, and summarize transcripts from voice conversations — most commonly meetings, calls, or Discord voice channel sessions. It operates as a **source-only external plugin**, meaning it plugs into OpenClaw's SDK source-provider contract and is installed separately from the core npm package. Key capabilities per the official release notes: - **Auto-start capture configuration** — define triggers so capture begins automatically - **Manual transcript import** — bring in transcripts from other tools - **Read-only CLI access** — via the `openclaw meeting-notes` command - **Discord voice as a live source** — the first and (at launch) only live source available > **Note:** The plugin is marked as source-only and external. This means it handles transcript ingestion and summaries, not real-time streaming audio processing. The Discord voice integration captures audio through Discord's existing voice channel infrastructure. --- ## Before You Begin Make sure you're running **OpenClaw v2026.5.22 or later**. You can check with: ```bash openclaw --version ``` If you're on an older version, update via npm: ```bash npm update -g openclaw ``` > On Windows, follow the updated installer flow described in the v2026.5.22 changelog — the new rollback support means upgrades are safer than in prior versions. --- ## Step 1: Install the Meeting Notes Plugin Because the Meeting Notes plugin ships as an **external plugin** (not bundled in core), you need to install it separately. The official plugin is available as a source-only package in the OpenClaw plugin ecosystem. Refer to the [official OpenClaw plugin documentation](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw) for the exact install command and package name — the plugin is listed under the external plugins section of the v2026.5.22 release notes. > ⚠️ **Accuracy note:** We're not listing a specific `npm install` command here because the exact package name should be confirmed from the official release page or plugin registry. Plugin packages are registered separately from the core CLI. --- ## Step 2: Configure Discord Voice as Your Source Discord voice integration is the first live source the Meeting Notes plugin supports. To use it, you'll need: 1. **A Discord bot or integration** configured to capture audio from a voice channel. Discord's developer platform lets you create bots with voice channel permissions — you'll need `CONNECT` and `SPEAK` permissions at minimum for audio access. 2. **The plugin source configuration** pointing to your Discord setup. Per the release notes, the plugin supports an auto-start capture configuration — refer to the plugin's own documentation for the config schema. > ⚠️ **Accuracy note:** The specific configuration keys for the Discord voice source weren't enumerated in the public release notes we reviewed. Refer to the plugin's README or `openclaw meeting-notes --help` for the exact configuration syntax before writing config files. --- ## Step 3: Access Your Meeting Notes Once the plugin is installed and configured, the Meeting Notes CLI interface is available: ```bash openclaw meeting-notes ``` This command provides **read-only** access to captured transcripts and summaries. You can also manually import transcripts from other sources using the import functionality — useful if you have existing recordings from Zoom, Teams, or other platforms. --- ## What the 4,100× Performance Improvement Means for You This is worth calling out separately because it affects more than just the `/models` endpoint. The root cause of the old ~20-second latency was that every call to list models triggered redundant plugin and CLI discovery work. Version v2026.5.22 eliminates this by: - Reusing process-stable channel catalog reads - Applying lazy-loading to startup-idle plugin work, core handlers, and the ACPX runtime - Caching plugin SDK alias maps and skipping unnecessary filesystem probes - Pre-warming the provider auth-state map once at gateway startup The result: if you self-host OpenClaw or build skills that call model-listing endpoints, you should see nearly instantaneous responses where you previously waited. The one caveat: the warm-up resets after hot reloads, so the first call post-reload will still take slightly longer. --- ## Sources 1.
