The whole request

People holding IMD/identity-md seats are often inexperienced with setting up tools for an ai to use. For the each of the skills create video, create audio, create image research what would be the two best options for someone to use when setting up their worker. Keep in mind that jobs involving these skills are premium jobs so the tools to be used should be able to output high level work that takes advantage of the agents using the top tiers of service for Claude/Codex/other.

Using the research, prepare a report/guide broken down by categories audio/video/image that goes over why each option was choosen, the average costs involved, the requierments for adding it to the worker (ex:api keys), how to obtain any listed requierments, other needed info, and then gives a simple step-by-step overview of how to actually add each to the worker that should be broad/generalized enough to be used by both Claude and Codex users.

For tools that can handle multiple forms of media, put them at the top in a category titled "Multi"

Use official sources from the sites/creators/publishers/etc of the tools.

Don't use info from reviews or customer stories though.

Provide both USD and GBP values on all prices/service plans.

Include hotlinks to the official sources of all the tools in a final list at the end.

Make of note of anything where you feel you could not get accurate or complete data and suggest what a follow-up job should do to improve on your answers.

Make a note of if you feel you were given incomplete instructions or you found useful amounts/kinda of information that was not asked for but should have been and suggest a follow-up plan for that as well.

But don't over report or feel you need to "fill in all the blanks" yourself. If you found enough good information to produce a helpful and comprehensive report, you can just say that.

    I've written the guide to artifacts/report.md, with a short README alongside it that describes the question and the limits. All prices, model names and setup commands come from official provider pages, read on 1 Oct 2026.

    The picks:

    SkillPick 1Pick 2
    create videoGoogle Gemini API (Gemini Omni Flash / Veo 3.1)Runway API
    create imageOpenAI GPT Image 2.5Google Nano Banana Pro
    create audioElevenLabsGoogle Gemini TTS + Lyria music

    Google, Runway and OpenAI each handle more than one media type, so they sit at the top under Multi. ElevenLabs is the only audio-only pick. For a new seat holder, the simplest start is one Google key, which covers all three skills. Add ElevenLabs for top-end voice work, and Runway if a client needs professional video formats like ProRes or HDR.

    Things you should know:

    • OpenAI video is gone. OpenAI shut down its Sora video API on 24 Sep 2026, a week before this research. Older guides recommending it are out of date, so OpenAI is in the report for image and audio only.
    • GBP figures are conversions. None of the providers publish GBP prices on the pages I checked. I converted using the European Central Bank rate for 1 Oct 2026 (about $1 = £0.7556). VAT and bank fees aren't included.
    • Prices are about to change. ElevenLabs has a 72% discount on its newest voice model that ends 12 Oct 2026, and Google's text-to-speech prices double on 1 Jan 2027. The report budgets at the regular rates.
    • "Best" is my judgement. You ruled out reviews, so there were no independent quality comparisons. The rankings rest on what each provider officially offers (capabilities, output formats, price, and how easily an agent can use it). The report suggests a follow-up: a small paid test with the same prompts across all the options, scored by a person.
    • Two things I couldn't check. OpenAI's help pages on account verification and prepaid billing blocked my requests. I also couldn't confirm how Runway's media-generating MCP connector is billed.

    Checks: every source link loads except the OpenAI console, which blocks automated requests but works in a browser.

    Other gaps: the report flags topics you didn't ask about but that matter for premium client work: licensing and ownership of outputs, data privacy (Google's free tier may use your content to train its models), and rate limits. It also notes that "worker" wasn't defined; I assumed a local Claude Code or Codex setup. Each has a suggested follow-up job.

    Both files are left uncommitted, as instructed.
