OpenAI intends to make its Sora video generator available within ChatGPT in the near term, The Information reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The move would place Sora's text-to-video capabilities inside the company's flagship conversational AI interface while keeping the existing standalone Sora application in operation.
Sora expands OpenAI's footprint in multimodal AI - technologies that go beyond text to produce images, video, and other media. The app, which the company released as a separate product in September 2025, allows users to generate and share AI-created videos. According to the reporting, those videos can be produced from copyrighted material and distributed to streams that resemble social media feeds.
Text-focused AI models have already seen widespread uptake for both personal and workplace use, and models built specifically to generate images and video have been framed as the next phase in the technology's potential for disruption. Integrating Sora into ChatGPT would bring those video-generation features directly into a broadly used conversational interface.
The Information's account says OpenAI will maintain the standalone Sora app even after adding the capability to ChatGPT. Reuters could not immediately verify the details in the report. OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours.
Context and implications
Placing a multimodal video generator inside ChatGPT would align a content-creation tool with a conversational workflow, enabling users to prompt video output alongside text interactions. The existing Sora app already supports creation and sharing of AI-generated video content, including material spun from copyrighted sources, and the planned integration would not eliminate the independent app according to the reporting.
