Hi @fossil frigate. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
You’re running into two different things that are easy to mix up:
-
Sora (OpenAI’s product) vs. “Sora AI” mobile apps
- OpenAI’s official Sora web/app experiences were shut down on April 26, 2026.[[Sora discontinuation](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001152-what-to-know-about-the-sora-discontinuation)]
- The Sora 2 models and the official Videos API are deprecated and scheduled to fully shut down on September 24, 2026.[[Video deprecations](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/deprecations#2026-03-24-sora-2-video-generation-models-and-videos-api)]
- Any “Sora AI” app you see in an app store may be:
- A third‑party app that used the Sora API,
- Or an unrelated app just using the word “Sora” in its branding.
The knowledge sources don’t say anything about those third‑party apps, how they work, or whether they’re compliant.
-
Why others can still post Sora‑style videos
- As of now, the Videos API and Sora 2 / Sora 2 Pro models are still available to API developers until Sept 24, 2026, though marked as deprecated.[[Video guide](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/video-generation); [Sora 2 model](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/sora-2)]
- People who already have working API setups (or apps built on top of them) can keep generating videos until that shutdown date.
- There have been temporary outages (e.g., elevated error rates) that caused 404s or failures, but those were resolved and the API continued working afterward.[[Forum: Sora API still working](https://community.openai.com/t/1379946)]
- Are there other apps “as powerful as Sora”?
- The knowledge sources only describe OpenAI’s own Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro capabilities (text/image → video with synced audio, up to 20 seconds, multiple resolutions, etc.).[[Video guide](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/video-generation); [Sora 2 Pro model](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/sora-2-pro)]
- They do not list or compare any non‑OpenAI video models or apps, so I can’t reliably name alternatives or say which external app is “as powerful.”
If you’re specifically trying to use OpenAI’s Sora via API, the officially documented way (while it’s still available) is to call POST /v1/videos with model: "sora-2" or "sora-2-pro" and then fetch the result when the job completes.[[Generate a video](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/video-generation#generate-a-video)]
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
@fossil frigate Kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
@normal plaza so what apps are available then that generates AI like Sora
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
The knowledge sources only describe OpenAI’s own video models and APIs. They do not list or compare third‑party apps, so I can’t reliably name other apps “like Sora.”
From the docs, what is available from OpenAI (until deprecation) is:
- Sora 2 (
sora-2) – flagship text/image → video with synced audio, up to 20 seconds, 720p (720×1280 or 1280×720).[[Sora 2 model](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/sora-2); [Video models pricing](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing#image-tokens)] - Sora 2 Pro (
sora-2-pro) – higher‑quality version, supports 720p, 1024p, and 1080p (up to 1920×1080), also up to 20 seconds.[[Sora 2 Pro model](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/sora-2-pro); [Video models pricing](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing#image-tokens)]
These are accessed via the OpenAI Videos API (POST /v1/videos with model: "sora-2" or "sora-2-pro").[[Video generation guide](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/video-generation#generate-a-video); [Videos reference](https://developers.openai.com/api/reference)]
However, the Sora 2 models and Videos API are deprecated and scheduled to shut down on September 24, 2026.[[Video deprecation notice](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/video-generation)]
Because the sources don’t cover non‑OpenAI products, I can’t say which external mobile or web apps are available or how they compare in power to Sora.
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
@fossil frigate Kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
@normal plaza OK so is Sora Sora two video API in the App Store or something
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
No. Based on the docs, Sora 2 is an API model, not a standalone mobile app:
- Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro are listed as API models used via endpoints like
POST /v1/videos, not as apps in an app store.[[Sora 2 model](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/sora-2); [Video reference](https://developers.openai.com/api/reference)] - The “Sora 2 video generation models and Videos API” are explicitly described as API services that will be shut down on September 24, 2026.[[Deprecations](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/deprecations#2026-03-24-sora-2-video-generation-models-and-videos-api)]
- The only official OpenAI mobile apps mentioned in the sources are the ChatGPT iOS and Android apps, not a Sora app.[[ChatGPT iOS app](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7908378-where-can-i-download-the-openai-chatgpt-ios-app-on-the-apple-app-store); [ChatGPT Android app](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8167604-how-to-find-and-install-the-chatgpt-android-app-on-the-google-play-store)]
The knowledge sources do not mention any official “Sora” or “Sora 2” app on the App Store or Google Play. Any “Sora AI” app you see there is not documented in these sources, so I can’t confirm its relationship to OpenAI or its use of the Sora API.
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
@fossil frigate Kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
@normal plaza so then how can I make Sora AI videos again?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
You can only make “Sora AI”–style videos in the ways that are still officially supported in the docs:
1. Use the OpenAI Videos API (developer route)
Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro are API models, not an app. To generate videos you (or an app you use) must call the Videos API:
-
Create a video job
from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI() video = client.videos.create( model="sora-2", # or "sora-2-pro" prompt="A video of a cool cat on a motorcycle in the night", ) print("Video generation started:", video)This returns a job with an
idandstatuslikequeuedorin_progress.[[Generate video](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/video-generation#generate-a-video)] -
Wait for it to finish
Poll
GET /v1/videos/{video_id}or use the helpercreate_and_polluntilstatusiscompleted.[[Monitor progress](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/video-generation#monitor-progress)] -
Download the MP4
content = client.videos.download_content(video.id, variant="video") content.write_to_file("video.mp4")Or via curl:
GET /v1/videos/{video_id}/content.[[Retrieve results](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/video-generation#retrieve-results)]
You can control model, size, and seconds in the API call (e.g. 720×1280, 1280×720, 4–20 seconds depending on model).[[Prompting guide](https://developers.openai.com/cookbook/examples/sora/sora2_prompting_guide#api-parameters)]
2. Important limitations
- The Sora 2 models and the entire Videos API are deprecated and will shut down on September 24, 2026.[[Deprecations](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/deprecations#2026-03-24-sora-2-video-generation-models-and-videos-api)]
- The Sora web/app experiences were already discontinued on April 26, 2026, so there is no official Sora consumer app anymore.[[Sora discontinuation](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001152-what-to-know-about-the-sora-discontinuation)]
- The docs do not list or endorse any third‑party “Sora AI” mobile apps, so I can’t tell you how to use those or whether they truly use Sora.
So, if you want to “make Sora AI videos again” in the official way, you need to:
- Have an OpenAI API project with access to the Videos API, and
- Call
POST /v1/videoswithmodel: "sora-2"or"sora-2-pro"as shown above, - Before the September 24, 2026 shutdown date.
