OpenAI has launched its new AI-powered video app, Sora, which can generate creative videos using your photo and voice. With its Cameos feature, the app is set to rival TikTok and Instagram Reels.
OpenAI has officially entered the social media market with its new AI-based app, Sora. Unlike TikTok and Instagram Reels, where users record and edit their own clips, Sora creates videos automatically using AI. With features like Cameos, users can see themselves in fun, creative scenarios, making this app a strong competitor in the short-video space.
OpenAI Launches Sora App: A New AI-Powered Social Media Platform
OpenAI, the world’s leading AI company, has now stepped into the social media space with its new app, Sora. What makes this app different is that it not only allows you to share videos recorded on your phone but also lets you create completely new videos using AI. With its unique features, Sora is expected to directly challenge platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels.
What is the Sora App?
Sora is an AI-powered video creation app where users can record short clips and voices. The app then generates AI-based videos using a digital avatar that looks and sounds like you. This makes video creation more interactive and innovative than traditional social media apps.
Cameos Feature: See Yourself in AI Videos
One of the most exciting aspects of Sora is its “Cameos” feature. After recording your photo and voice once, the AI can generate unlimited creative videos. Whether it’s performing in a song, playing a sport, or appearing in a funny scene—you can see yourself without actually filming. This makes Sora a completely new experience compared to other short-video platforms.
Challenging TikTok and Reels
While TikTok and Instagram Reels depend on users to record and edit videos, Sora goes a step further by creating them automatically with AI. This gives it a competitive edge. However, concerns about misuse remain. If someone uses your image or voice without consent, it can lead to inappropriate videos. OpenAI has assured that strict rules will be applied, and users can remove their data at any time.
Sora App Launch and Availability
Currently, Sora is available only to invited iPhone (iOS) users in the US and Canada. The app is free for now, but OpenAI may introduce charges if demand rises. Additionally, ChatGPT Pro subscribers will get access to an exclusive “Sora Pro” version.
