OpenAI has just launched its second iPhone app, Sora, alongside the very popular ChatGPT. Sora is a brand new standalone app for AI video creation. Here are the details.
Sora for iPhone available now from OpenAI as new video creation tool
Sora is OpenAI’s video creation tool, and it’s about to get a lot more popular.
OpenAI has released its first ever Sora app for the iPhone. It’s available now on the App Store, though using the app requires special access for the time being.
What exactly can Sora do? From the App Store release notes:
Turn your ideas into videos and drop yourself into the action.
Sora is a new kind of creative app that turns text prompts and images into hyperreal videos with sound using the latest advancements from OpenAI. A single sentence can unfold into a cinematic scene, an anime short, or remix of a friend’s video. If you can write it, you can see it, remix it, and share it. Turn your words into worlds with Sora.
Explore, play, and share your imagination in a community built for experimentation.
Here are the five bulleted features per OpenAI’s notes:
- Create Videos in Seconds: Start with a prompt or image and Sora generates a complete video with audio inspired by your imagination.
- Collaborate & Play: Cast yourself or your friends in videos. Remix challenges and trends as they evolve.
- Choose Your Style: Make it cinematic, animated, photorealistic, cartoon, or entirely surreal.
- Remix & Make It Yours: Take someone else’s creation and put your spin on it – swap characters, change the vibe, add new scenes, or extend the story.
- Find Your Community: Community features make it easy to share your creations and see what others are making.
This is the first major OpenAI launch since GPT-5 arrived last month. If it proves popular like ChatGPT, it could lead to some big waves on social media as AI videos become more mainstream.
