OpenAI plans to integrate Sora video generator directly into ChatGPT
OpenAI plans to integrate its Sora video generator as a built-in feature within ChatGPT, according to The Information. Currently available only on a standalone website and app, the integration would let users generate videos directly in the chatbot, similar to how image generation was added last year.
OpenAI plans to bring its Sora video generator directly into ChatGPT as a native feature, according to reporting from The Information. The move would transition Sora from its current standalone distribution model—a website and dedicated app—into the main ChatGPT interface.
Sora has underperformed relative to ChatGPT's user base since its launch. By embedding video generation into ChatGPT, OpenAI aims to increase Sora adoption and provide users with a unified interface for both text and video generation. The integration mirrors OpenAI's 2024 approach of adding DALL-E image generation capabilities directly into ChatGPT.
Current State
Sora launched less than a year ago with both a standalone app and web interface at sora.chatgpt.com. Despite the technology's capabilities, user adoption has lagged significantly behind ChatGPT's scale. The planned integration represents a strategic shift to leverage ChatGPT's existing user base—over 200 million weekly active users as of January 2025—to drive Sora engagement.
Potential Impact
Integrating Sora into ChatGPT could substantially increase video generation volume and accessibility. However, it also raises concerns about deepfake proliferation. Early Sora usage demonstrated that users can generate realistic-looking synthetic videos of real people, creating potential for misuse in disinformation, fraud, and non-consensual synthetic media.
OpenAI has implemented content moderation for Sora, but widespread ChatGPT integration would dramatically amplify distribution scale. The company faces pressure from policymakers and researchers to balance generative capabilities with safeguards against synthetic media abuse.
What This Means
The integration positions Sora as a core ChatGPT offering rather than an experimental side product. For OpenAI, this consolidates its content generation suite—text, images, and video—under one platform, increasing pricing opportunities for premium tiers. For users, it simplifies access. For society, it accelerates the timeline for widespread synthetic video generation, making deepfake detection and media literacy increasingly critical.
