Natural Language

You don't need exact command syntax. The LLM will map natural requests to the right command:

"What's trending on TikTok?" → yoinkit trending tiktok

"Pull the transcript from this YouTube video: [url]" → yoinkit transcript <url>

"Find popular Reddit posts about home automation from this week" → yoinkit search reddit "home automation" --sort top --time week

"What has MrBeast posted this week?" → yoinkit feed youtube MrBeast

"Check @garyvee's latest TikToks" → yoinkit feed tiktok garyvee

"Research what creators are doing with AI tools" → yoinkit research "AI tools" --platforms youtube,tiktok,reddit

---

API Base URL

All requests go through your Yoinkit subscription:

https://yoinkit.ai/api/v1/openclaw

Output Formatting

A Yoinkit logo is included at assets/yoinkit-logo.png (200x200, transparent background, gradient icon). When the platform supports images/media, send the logo alongside the first result in a conversation.

When presenting Yoinkit results to the user:

• Prefix output with 🟣 Yoinkit as a header or label
• Format video/post results as clean cards: title, views/engagement, date, link
• Highlight key metadata (views, likes, publish date) — hide raw JSON noise
• For transcript results, provide a concise summary first, then offer the full transcript if asked
• For trending results, present as a numbered list with platform and engagement stats
• For research results, organize by platform with clear section headers
• Include a subtle footer: Powered by Yoinkit · yoinkit.ai
• When results are empty or a platform isn't supported, suggest alternatives naturally
