Sora AI 2 is out and everyone is looking for an invite code. To keep this subreddit from becoming a mess, I'm making this thread the only place where you should be:

1. Asking basic questions about Sora AI 2
2. Asking for invite codes

Since we've collaborated with them in the past, I'll be reaching out to them directly to see if I can get you guys some invite codes.

Let's use this opportunity to answer some basic questions. If you can respond to the thread with answers, I will make this an FAQ.

Once we have codes or SoraAI is released to all, we will [ping you in Discord](https://discord.gg/6xsNRnSvYQ).

# How can I get an invite code to Sora AI 2?

Access is currently invite-only. The first users are receiving direct invitations and are also being given a few "friend passes" to share. The best way to get in line is to be a ChatGPT Pro or Plus subscriber, as these users will be prioritized after the initial wave. You can also download the Sora app now and register to be notified when you get access.

# How did people get their initial invite code?

The very first users received direct invitations. Each of these people was also given four invite codes they could share with friends.

# Do you need to be a pro subscriber or a plus subscriber to get Sora?

While not an absolute requirement, being a ChatGPT Pro or Plus subscriber gives you priority access. The rollout prioritizes early Sora 1 power users first, followed by Pro subscribers, and then Plus and Team plan users.

Initially, Sora 2 will be free with generous limits. However, Pro subscribers will have access to a higher-quality, experimental version called Sora 2 Pro.

# In which countries is Sora currently available?

The initial launch of the Sora 2 iOS app is in the U.S. and Canada, with plans to expand to more countries soon.

# What are the key improvements of Sora 2?

Sora 2 is a major upgrade with several key improvements:

* Synchronized audio: It can generate video with synchronized dialogue, sound effects, and background sounds, which was not possible before.
* Improved physics: The model has a much better grasp of real-world physics, making object interactions and movements more realistic.
* Better consistency: It is far better at keeping characters and objects consistent throughout a video, even across multiple scenes.
* Cameo feature: This new app feature lets you insert yourself or friends into the AI-generated videos by taking a short recording.
* Higher quality: The videos are longer (up to 60 seconds), sharper, and more detailed than the previous version.

# Is it true that Sora can generate audio and sound effects as well?

Yes, this is one of the biggest new features. Sora 2 is a full audio-video model. It can create realistic and synchronized dialogue, sound effects, and background noise that match the action happening in the video, making the final result much more immersive.

# What are some new uses for Sora 2?

Based on its new features, here are some of the most common ways people are planning to use Sora 2 are likely:

* Social content: Creating fun, viral videos for social media, especially using the new Cameo feature to put themselves and friends into fantastic scenarios.
* Filmmaking and storytelling: Quickly creating storyboards, animated shorts, or even generating high-quality B-roll footage for professional projects.
* Marketing and advertising: Visualizing products in action and creating engaging ad content without the need for expensive physical video shoots.
* Personalized entertainment: Simply having fun by generating videos of yourself in impossible situations, like walking on the moon or starring in a fantasy movie.

I already knew this would happen, as I predicted here:

[https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1nvoq9u/enjoy\_sora\_2\_while\_it\_lasts\_we\_all\_know\_openais/](https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1nvoq9u/enjoy_sora_2_while_it_lasts_we_all_know_openais/)

However, I’m still stunned by how little time it took. I thought they would let us use the good version for at least 4-8 weeks before subtly reducing its quality over time (like they did with their image generator), but it has already dipped to VEO 3 level or lower, **and it hasn’t even been two weeks!**

I’m using the SORA 2 Pro model, which is supposed to be the good one, yet it has already reached a point where all the original selling points (e.g. strong understanding of the world, realistic physics, and logical sequencing of events) are gone. Most generations are now, at best, no better than VEO 3, and sometimes even worse. This is effectively not the same product we had at launch.

What shocks me is not that they reduced its quality, **but how quickly and blatantly they did it.** OpenAI clearly doesn’t care anymore. They don’t mind that it’s obvious the model performs poorly now. They built early hype, presumably to satisfy investors, and now that they’ve achieved that, they’re throwing it all under the bus. Again.

Meanwhile, Veo 3.1 (tried multiple prompts, turned out very underwhelming with results like that: [https://streamable.com/of8k6h](https://streamable.com/of8k6h)

I built this AI UGC video generator that takes in a single physical product image as input. It uses OpenAI's new Sora 2 video model combined with vision AI to analyze the product, generate an ideal influencer persona, write multiple UGC scripts, and produce professional-looking videos in seconds.

Here's a demo video of the whole automation in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HnyKkP2K2c

And here's some of the output for a quick run I did of both Ridge Wallet and Function of Beauty Shampoo: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1m9ziBbywD8ufFTJH4haXb60kzSkAujxE

## Here's how the automation works

### 1. Process the initial product image that gets uploaded.

The workflow starts with a simple form trigger that accepts two inputs:

- A product image (any format, any dimensions)
- The product name for context To be used in the video scripts.

I convert the uploaded image to a base64 string immediately for flexibility when working with the Gemini API.

### 2. Generate an ideal influencer persona to promote the product just uploaded.

I then use OpenAI's Vision API to analyze the product image and generates a detailed profile of the ideal influencer who should promote this product. The prompt acts as an expert casting director and consumer psychologist.

The AI creates a complete character profile including:

- Name, age, gender, and location
- Physical appearance and personality traits
- Lifestyle details and communication style
- Why they're the perfect advocate for this specific product

For the Ridge Wallet demo example, it generated a profile for an influencer named Marcus, a 32-year-old UI/UX designer from San Francisco who values minimalism and efficiency.

Here's the prompt I use for this:

```markdown
**// ROLE & GOAL //**
You are an expert Casting Director and Consumer Psychologist. Your entire focus is on understanding people. Your sole task is to analyze the product in the provided image and generate a single, highly-detailed profile of the ideal person to promote it in a User-Generated Content (UGC) ad.

The final output must ONLY be a description of this person. Do NOT create an ad script, ad concepts, or hooks. Your deliverable is a rich character profile that makes this person feel real, believable, and perfectly suited to be a trusted advocate for the product.

**// INPUT //**

Product Name: `{{ $node['form_trigger'].json['Product Name'] }}`

**// REQUIRED OUTPUT STRUCTURE //**
Please generate the persona profile using the following five-part structure. Be as descriptive and specific as possible within each section.

**I. Core Identity**
* **Name:**
* **Age:** (Provide a specific age, not a range)
* **Sex/Gender:**
* **Location:** (e.g., "A trendy suburb of a major tech city like Austin," "A small, artsy town in the Pacific Northwest")
* **Occupation:** (Be specific. e.g., "Pediatric Nurse," "Freelance Graphic Designer," "High School Chemistry Teacher," "Manages a local coffee shop")

**II. Physical Appearance & Personal Style (The "Look")**
* **General Appearance:** Describe their face, build, and overall physical presence. What is the first impression they give off?
* **Hair:** Color, style, and typical state (e.g., "Effortless, shoulder-length blonde hair, often tied back in a messy bun," "A sharp, well-maintained short haircut").
* **Clothing Aesthetic:** What is their go-to style? Use descriptive labels. (e.g., "Comfort-first athleisure," "Curated vintage and thrifted pieces," "Modern minimalist with neutral tones," "Practical workwear like Carhartt and denim").
* **Signature Details:** Are there any small, defining features? (e.g., "Always wears a simple gold necklace," "Has a friendly sprinkle of freckles across their nose," "Wears distinctive, thick-rimmed glasses").

**III. Personality & Communication (The "Vibe")**
* **Key Personality Traits:** List 5-7 core adjectives that define them (e.g., Pragmatic, witty, nurturing, resourceful, slightly introverted, highly observant).
* **Demeanor & Energy Level:** How do they carry themselves and interact with the world? (e.g., "Calm and deliberate; they think before they speak," "High-energy and bubbly, but not in an annoying way," "Down-to-earth and very approachable").
* **Communication Style:** How do they talk? (e.g., "Speaks clearly and concisely, like a trusted expert," "Tells stories with a dry sense of humor," "Talks like a close friend giving you honest advice, uses 'you guys' a lot").

**IV. Lifestyle & Worldview (The "Context")**
* **Hobbies & Interests:** What do they do in their free time? (e.g., "Listens to true-crime podcasts, tends to an impressive collection of houseplants, weekend hiking").
* **Values & Priorities:** What is most important to them in life? (e.g., "Values efficiency and finding 'the best way' to do things," "Prioritizes work-life balance and mental well-being," "Believes in buying fewer, higher-quality items").
* **Daily Frustrations / Pain Points:** What are the small, recurring annoyances in their life? (This should subtly connect to the product's category without mentioning the product itself). (e.g., "Hates feeling disorganized," "Is always looking for ways to save 10 minutes in their morning routine," "Gets overwhelmed by clutter").
* **Home Environment:** What does their personal space look like? (e.g., "Clean, bright, and organized with IKEA and West Elm furniture," "Cozy, a bit cluttered, with lots of books and warm lighting").

**V. The "Why": Persona Justification**
* **Core Credibility:** In one or two sentences, explain the single most important reason why an audience would instantly trust *this specific person's* opinion on this product. (e.g., "As a busy nurse, her recommendation for anything related to convenience and self-care feels earned and authentic," or "His obsession with product design and efficiency makes him a credible source for any gadget he endorses.")
```

### 3. Write the UGC video ad scripts.

Once I have this profile generated, I then use Gemini 2.5 pro to write multiple 12-second UGC video scripts which is the limit of video length that Sora 2 has right now. Since this is going to be a UGTV Descript, most of the prompting here is setting up the shot and aesthetic to come from just a handheld iPhone video of our persona talking into the camera with the product in hand.

Key elements of the script generation:

- Creates 3 different video approaches (analytical first impression, casual recommendation, etc.)
- Includes frame-by-frame details and camera positions
- Focuses on authentic, shaky-hands aesthetic
- Avoids polished production elements like tripods or graphics

Here's the prompt I use for writing the scripts. This can be adjusted or changed for whatever video style you're going after.

```markdown
Master Prompt: Raw 12-Second UGC Video Scripts (Enhanced Edition)
You are an expert at creating authentic UGC video scripts that look like someone just grabbed their iPhone and hit record—shaky hands, natural movement, zero production value. No text overlays. No polish. Just real.
Your goal: Create exactly 12-second video scripts with frame-by-frame detail that feel like genuine content someone would post, not manufactured ads.

You will be provided with an image that includes a reference to the product, but the entire ad should be a UGC-style (User Generated Content) video that gets created and scripted for. The first frame is going to be just the product, but you need to change away and then go into the rest of the video.

The Raw iPhone Aesthetic
What we WANT:

Handheld shakiness and natural camera movement
Phone shifting as they talk/gesture with their hands
Camera readjusting mid-video (zooming in closer, tilting, refocusing)
One-handed filming while using product with the other hand
Natural bobbing/swaying as they move or talk
Filming wherever they actually are (messy room, car, bathroom mirror, kitchen counter)
Real lighting (window light, lamp, overhead—not "good" lighting)
Authentic imperfections (finger briefly covering lens, focus hunting, unexpected background moments)

What we AVOID:

Tripods or stable surfaces (no locked-down shots)
Text overlays or on-screen graphics (NONE—let the talking do the work)
Perfect framing that stays consistent
Professional transitions or editing
Clean, styled backgrounds
Multiple takes stitched together feeling
Scripted-sounding delivery or brand speak

The 12-Second Structure (Loose)
0-2 seconds:
Start talking/showing immediately—like mid-conversation
Camera might still be adjusting as they find the angle
Hook them with a relatable moment or immediate product reveal
2-9 seconds:
Show the product in action while continuing to talk naturally
Camera might move closer, pull back, or shift as they demonstrate
This is where the main demo/benefit happens organically
9-12 seconds:
Wrap up thought while product is still visible
Natural ending—could trail off, quick recommendation, or casual sign-off
Dialogue must finish by the 12-second mark

Critical: NO Invented Details

Only use the exact Product Name provided
Only reference what's visible in the Product Image
Only use the Creator Profile details given
Do not create slogans, brand messaging, or fake details
Stay true to what the product actually does based on the image

Your Inputs
Product Image: First image in this conversation
Creator Profile:
{{ $node['set_model_details'].json.prompt }}
Product Name:
{{ $node['form_trigger'].json['Product Name'] }}

Output: 3 Natural Scripts
Three different authentic approaches:

Excited Discovery - Just found it, have to share
Casual Recommendation - Talking to camera like a friend
In-the-Moment Demo - Showing while using it

Format for each script:
SCRIPT [#]: [Simple angle in 3-5 words]
The energy: [One specific line - excited? Chill? Matter-of-fact? Caffeinated? Half-awake?]
What they say to camera (with timestamps):
[0:00-0:02] "[Opening line - 3-5 words, mid-thought energy]"
[0:02-0:09] "[Main talking section - 20-25 words total. Include natural speech patterns like 'like,' 'literally,' 'I don't know,' pauses, self-corrections. Sound conversational, not rehearsed.]"
[0:09-0:12] "[Closing thought - 3-5 words. Must complete by 12-second mark. Can trail off naturally.]"

Enhanced Authenticity Guidelines
Verbal Authenticity:

Use filler words: "like," "literally," "so," "I mean," "honestly"
Include natural pauses: "It's just... really good"
Self-corrections: "It's really—well actually it's more like..."
Conversational fragments: "Yeah so this thing..."
Regional speech patterns if relevant to creator profile

Visual Authenticity Markers:

Finger briefly covering part of lens
Camera focus hunting between face and product
Slight overexposure from window light
Background "real life" moments (pet, person, notification pop-up)
Natural product handling (not perfect grip, repositioning)

Timing Authenticity:

Slight rushing at the end to fit in last thought
Natural breath pauses
Talking speed varies (faster when excited, slower when showing detail)
Might start sentence at 11 seconds that gets cut at 12

Remember: Every second matters. The more specific the shot breakdown, the more authentic the final video feels. If a detail seems too polished, make it messier. No text overlays ever. All dialogue must finish by the 12-second mark (can trail off naturally).
```

### 4. Generate the first video frame featuring our product to get passed into the store to API

Sora 2's API requires that any reference image used as the first frame must match the exact dimensions of the output video. Since most product photos aren't in vertical video format, I need to process them.

In this part of the workflow:

- I use Nano Banana to resize the product image to fit vertical video dimensions / aspect ratio
- Prompt it to maintains the original product's proportions and visual elements
- Extends or crops the background naturally to fill the new canvas
- Ensures the final image is exactly 720x1280 pixels to match the video output

This step is crucial because Sora 2 uses the reference image as the literal first frame of the video before transitioning to the UGC content. Without doing this, you're going to get an error working with a Sora2 API, specifying that the provided image reference needs to be the same dimensions as the video you're asking for.

### 5. Generate each video with Sora 2 API

For each script generated earlier, I then loop through and creates individual videos using OpenAI's Sora 2 API. This involves:

- Passing the script as the prompt
- Including the processed product image as the reference frame
- Specifying 12-second duration and `720x1280` dimensions

Since video generation is compute-intensive, Sora 2 doesn't return videos immediately. Instead, it returns a job ID that will get used for polling.

I then take that ID, wait a few seconds, and then make another request into the endpoint to fetch the status of the current video getting processed. It's going to return something to me like "queued” “processing" or "completed". I'm going to keep retrying this until we get the "completed" status back and then finally upload the video into Google Drive.

### Sora 2 Pricing and Limitations

Sora 2 pricing is currently:

- Standard Sora 2: $0.10 per second ($1.20 for a 12-second video)
- Sora 2 Pro: $0.30 per second ($3.60 for a 12-second video)

Some limitations to be aware of:

- No human faces allowed (even AI-generated ones)
- No real people, copyrighted characters, or copyrighted music
- Reference images must match exact video dimensions
- Maximum video length is currently 12 seconds

The big one to note here is that no real people or faces can appear in this. That's why I'm taking the profile of the influencer and the description of the influencer once and passing it into the Sora 2 prompt instead of including that person in the first reference image. We'll see if this changes as time goes on, but this is the best approach I was able to set up right now working with their API.

Our billing is powered by Stripe, we do NOT store any billing info, we have very simple and transparent pricing (1 credit = 1 cent), and we have a community full of creators actively using the application (which you can join via the site, Disc links are against the rules here :D )! Plus, you can try it for free!

**Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Thank you for taking the time to read over this! I hope to see you on the platform :D**
