OpenAI is reportedly preparing to release a new standalone app for its video generation AI model Sora 2. The app is expected to look similar to TikTok, with a vertical video feed that you can scroll through, but all the content is made entirely by AI, reports Wired. Users can make short videos up to 10 seconds long using the app, and a recommendation algorithm powers a “For You” page to help people discover new clips. On the right side of the feed, there will likely be a menu bar where users can like, comment, or remix videos.
One of the app’s key features is expected to be identity verification. According to the report, users can confirm their likeness, which will allow them to appear in AI-generated videos. Other people can also tag them or use their likeness in videos. For example, a user might generate a video of themselves riding a roller coaster with a friend. The app will notify users whenever their likeness is used, even if the video is never posted publicly.

There might be no option to upload photos or videos from your camera roll or other apps. This would ensure that all videos are fully AI-generated. The app was launched internally last week, and employees have given it positive feedback.
The app comes as other tech companies are also entering the AI video space. Meta recently launched “Vibes,” a feed in its Meta AI app for short AI-generated videos, and Google is integrating its video model Veo 3 into YouTube.

Meanwhile, OpenAI is facing legal and safety challenges. The company is defending itself against a copyright lawsuit from The New York Times, which claims the AI was trained on its copyrighted material. To address child safety concerns, OpenAI recently introduced parental controls in ChatGPT, including linked accounts for teens and parents and an age-prediction tool. It is still unclear what age restrictions the Sora 2 app will have.
