Cameos
The app, now live in the US and Canada, allows users to create, share, and remix AI-generated videos featuring themselves and their friends through a feature called “cameos”.
OpenAI’s Move Into Social Apps
This marks OpenAI’s most significant step yet into the consumer social media space. While its ChatGPT platform has seen widespread adoption for productivity, the launch of the Sora app brings the company into direct competition with TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Meta’s new “Vibes” AI video feed.
Makes Short, Realistic Videos
The Sora app, available now for iOS on an invite-only basis, is designed around the idea of co-creation. For example, users can ask (prompt) Sora 2 to generate short, realistic videos with audio, then choose to insert themselves or others into the scenes using cameos. A one-time video and audio recording is required to activate this feature, verifying both identity and likeness.
