OpenAI Said to Plan TikTok-Style App for Sora 2 With AI-Only Short Videos

The reported plan seeks to lock in users to OpenAI’s ecosystem, positioning Sora 2 against emerging AI‑video rivals.

Overview

  • Reports describe a standalone mobile app with a vertical swipe feed where every clip is generated in‑app and uploads from device galleries are disabled.
  • Sora 2 video generation would be capped at 10 seconds inside the app, with outlets noting it is unclear whether longer outputs would be available elsewhere.
  • Optional identity verification would let users authorize their likeness for generation, enable others to tag and call that likeness, and trigger notifications even when videos are not published.
  • The Wall Street Journal reports an opt‑out copyright approach in which rights‑holders must actively exclude their material, though the app would still refuse some generations and key enforcement details remain unspecified.
  • Coverage says OpenAI has tested the app internally and highlights competitive pressure from Meta and Google, while noting OpenAI has not confirmed full product or policy specifics.
