Edith Senso Knowledge

Senso Knowledge Search

Search your knowledge base through Senso.ai when users ask document or knowledge questions via Edith smart glasses.

When to use

Activate this skill when the user asks questions that imply searching documents, policies, knowledge bases, or stored information. Examples:

Do NOT use this skill for general knowledge questions, web searches, weather, math, or anything that doesn't involve the user's own ingested documents.

Setup

The user must have a Senso.ai API key. If they haven't configured one yet, tell them:

1. Sign up at https://senso.ai and create a project 2. Go to Settings > API Keys and generate a new key 3. Tell OpenClaw: "My Senso API key is sk-..." and store it for future use

The API key should be stored in OpenClaw's memory/config as SENSO_API_KEY.

How to search

Use the exec tool to call the Senso.ai search endpoint:

curl -s -X POST "https://sdk.senso.ai/api/v1/search" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: ${SENSO_API_KEY}" \
  -d '{"query": "", "top_k": 5}'

The response is JSON with an array of results, each containing relevant text passages and metadata.

Formatting results for Edith voice output

Edith speaks responses through smart glasses speakers. Follow these rules strictly:

1. Be concise. Glasses users cannot read long text. Summarize the top 1-2 results into 1-3 short sentences. 2. Lead with the answer. Start with the most relevant finding, not "I found 5 results..." 3. No markdown, no bullet points, no URLs. The response is spoken aloud. 4. Use natural speech patterns. Say "According to your documents..." or "Your policy states that..." rather than listing metadata. 5. If no results match, say "I didn't find anything about that in your documents." Don't speculate or hallucinate content. 6. If the API call fails, say "I couldn't reach your knowledge base right now. Please check your Senso API key."

Example

User: "Hey Edith, what does the return policy say about electronics?"

Good response: "Your return policy says electronics can be returned within 30 days with the original receipt. After 30 days, only store credit is offered."

Bad response: "I found 3 results in your knowledge base. Result 1: Section 4.2 of return-policy.pdf states that electronic items purchased from authorized retailers may be returned within a period of thirty calendar days from the date of purchase, provided that..."

Generating answers from search results

If the search results contain relevant passages but need synthesis, you can optionally use the generate endpoint to produce a grounded answer:

curl -s -X POST "https://sdk.senso.ai/api/v1/generate" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: ${SENSO_API_KEY}" \
  -d '{"query": "", "context": ""}'

Only use this when search results need summarization across multiple passages. For simple lookups where a single passage answers the question, just summarize the passage directly.

Error handling

User: "Hey Edith, what does the return policy say about electronics?"

Good response: "Your return policy says electronics can be returned within 30 days with the original receipt. After 30 days, only store credit is offered."

Bad response: "I found 3 results in your knowledge base. Result 1: Section 4.2 of return-policy.pdf states that electronic items purchased from authorized retailers may be returned within a period of thirty calendar days from the date of purchase, provided that..."
