Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by Anil-matcha on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Elai AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors/tree/main/connectors/elai
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors.git /tmp/awesome-muse-connectors
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/awesome-muse-connectors/connectors/elai .claude/skills/elai

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Elai in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Elai on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Elai is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Elai

Purpose

Build AI avatar presenter videos with Elai: list available avatars, inspect videos and their render status, submit renders, and poll until a render finishes. Reach for this when the user wants a talking-head video generated from a script or slide deck.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/elai.py.

bash
bin/elai.py auth
# {"ok": true, "avatars": 40} on success

bin/elai.py avatars
# list available avatars (code, name, gender)

bin/elai.py videos
# list your videos (id, name, status)

bin/elai.py video-get --id <VIDEO_ID>
# one video: name, status; rendered video URL when ready

bin/elai.py render --id <VIDEO_ID>
# submit a render for a drafted video; consumes render credits (confirmation-gated)

bin/elai.py render-status --id <VIDEO_ID>
# poll render status; prints status and the video URL when the render completes

Notes:

Rendering is asynchronous: render submits the job, then poll render-status until status leaves rendering. Download the resulting video promptly; do not treat the URL as a permanent artifact.
Custom-avatar footage submission (the PATCH-based workflow) and WebRTC real-time streaming are outside CLI scope.

Auth

Provider id: elai (credential is collected as custom.elai)
Collection: Elai API token via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access); only the account primary (admin) user can generate one, under Settings, then API Keys
Allowed hosts: apis.elai.io
Connect placement: bearer_header (the token goes in Authorization: Bearer <token>)
Status check: bin/elai.py auth

Operating Rules

Video renders consume credits and are confirmation-gated: confirm the exact video id with the user before running render. Poll render-status after submitting.
Custom-avatar submissions are confirmation-gated: confirm with the user before submitting custom-avatar footage (training a likeness).
Slide layouts are complex. The recommended flow is: build the layout in the Elai UI, fetch it with video-get, and use that structure as the base for API-created videos.
Never log or print the raw token; the CLI only ever handles the surrogate.

Maturity

🧪 Draft: written from Elai's public API reference with the host, auth header and render paths verified at build time; not yet live-tested end-to-end. Story API, personalization and the custom-avatar PATCH workflow are not yet in the CLI.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Elai AI skill do?

Elai AI avatar videos: list avatars, check videos, and render avatar videos. Trigger phrases: elai, avatar video, AI presenter, talking head video.

Why use Elai on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Elai is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Elai in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors/tree/main/connectors/elai. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Elai?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Elai?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Elai with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Elai AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Anil-matcha under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
