Cursor · The AI-first code editor

Image generation and voice cloning in Cursor.

Cursor is where millions of developers write code every day. Gathos plugs into Cursor as a set of agent-callable skills · you describe what you want in a chat message, Cursor runs the API, and the output lands in your project folder. Flat $18/month.

A sample session

You
I need 5 product shots for the water bottle SKU. Use the reference image in ./assets/hero.jpg. Output lifestyle, flatlay, kitchen, outdoor, and gym.
Cursor

Cursor
→ 5 files saved to ./assets/generated/: bottle-lifestyle.png, bottle-flatlay.png, bottle-kitchen.png, bottle-outdoor.png, bottle-gym.png
You
Now generate a 30-second product voiceover in Spanish using my voice clone.

Why pair Gathos with Cursor

01
Skills live with your project
Check the Gathos skills into your repo's .cursor/rules directory. Every teammate who opens the project gets the same agent-callable tools, with no setup. The skill becomes part of the codebase.
02
Both APIs, one editor
Image generation and text-to-speech behind the same key. Generate a thumbnail and voiceover for the same video in a single Cursor session without swapping tabs.
03
Asset files land in your repo
Cursor runs the call, writes the image or audio to a path you specified, and then you can commit it. No copy-paste from a web UI.
04
Predictable billing for AI-generated code
Cursor loves to write loops. A per-image API can cost you $50 before you notice. Gathos is flat with a 6-hour fair-use cap, so cost surprises are bounded by design.

Skills most teams install first

Each is a single curl command. Install one, install all five.

Ecommerce workflow

Shopify product shots

Small Shopify stores spend $200 to $1,500 per SKU on photography. With Gathos you upload one reference shot, describe the scene, and get 20 clean variants: flatlay, on-model, lifestyle, seasonal. $18/month flat, no per-image cost.

Creator workflow

YouTube thumbnails

The job: you run a YouTube channel and you need a fresh thumbnail for every video. Stock-photo subscriptions and Midjourney cost money per image. Gathos gives you unlimited generation at a flat $18/month, plus it can actually render readable text inside the image.

Async video

AI voiceover for Loom

Loom videos are the backbone of remote teams. The one thing that kills them: you cannot re-record when you want to tweak the script, and you cannot ship them in Spanish or Hindi without a second take. Gathos clones your voice from a 30-second sample and speaks any script in 600+ languages.

Video localization

Auto-dub videos

You have a 10-minute video in English. You want Hindi, Spanish, and Portuguese versions without hiring three voice actors and a translator. Upload it to Gathos: the skill transcribes, translates, re-reads the translation in your cloned voice, and re-aligns to your on-screen timing.

Podcast growth

Podcast clip factory

Every podcast episode is a month of social content if you chop it right. The chopping is the hard part. Gathos bundles the whole pipeline: transcript, highlight picking, vertical reframe, caption burn-in, cover art generation, and a 60-second trailer narrated in your voice.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add Gathos skills to a Cursor project?+
The install script writes skill files into `.cursor/rules/gathos/`. Cursor picks them up automatically. Commit the folder so teammates get the same setup.
Do I need a different API key per project?+
You can. Common pattern is one key per environment (dev, staging, prod) and scope by the image vs TTS key type.
Does Cursor need to be on a specific version?+
Any version from 2025 onward (when custom skills/rules were stabilized). We test on the current stable release.
What if I want to use the Gathos API directly, without the skills?+
The API is a plain REST endpoint at https://api.gathos.com/api/v1/image-generation and /api/v1/tts. Skills are convenience; they are not required.
Can I use Gathos for generating assets at build time?+
Yes. Many teams call Gathos from a Vite/Next build script to generate OG images or hero thumbnails at deploy time. The flat billing makes this pattern cheap.

Using a different agent?

GitHub Copilot

Image and voice generation, plugged into GitHub Copilot.

GitHub Copilot supports custom agents and MCP servers in 2026, which means Gathos can be wired in as a callable tool inside any IDE that ships Copilot. The setup is one curl line and one config entry.

ChatGPT Custom GPTs

Image and voice generation, callable from a custom ChatGPT GPT.

Custom ChatGPT GPTs support Actions, which are HTTPS-callable tools the GPT can invoke during a conversation. Gathos exposes a clean OpenAPI schema so wiring it as an Action takes about ten minutes.

Continue

Image and voice generation in Continue.dev sessions.

Continue is the open-source alternative to Cursor, focused on developer control and self-hosting. It supports custom slash commands and tools through a clean config. Gathos plugs in as a callable tool so the agent can generate assets from the same editor session.

Aider

Image and voice generation, called from inside Aider sessions.

Aider is a terminal-first pair programmer that has stayed lean and fast. It does not ship with image generation or TTS, and the popular pattern is to bolt those on as external commands. Gathos slots in as a Bash-callable tool so an Aider session can generate assets without leaving the terminal.

Claude Code

Image generation and voice cloning for Claude Code.

Claude Code is the fastest-growing agent for power users. Gathos is the unified image + TTS API that plugs into Claude Code with a single install command. This page shows the install, a sample session, and the pre-built skills most teams install first.

Gemini CLI

Image and voice generation, native to Gemini CLI.

Gemini CLI's Skills spec went GA in early 2026 · same single-file markdown convention Anthropic and Codeium adopted. Gathos installs as a Gemini CLI skill so the agent can generate images and voiceover from any terminal session.

Windsurf

Image generation and voice cloning, native to Windsurf.

Windsurf shipped Cascade Skills in Wave 13 (January 2026), and the spec is the same single-file markdown convention Anthropic and Cursor adopted. Gathos plugs in as a Cascade Skill so the agent can generate thumbnails, product shots, voiceover, and dubbed videos without you leaving the editor.
