Sora

Sora

Intent

• Use for short AI video generation, remixing, polling job status, and downloading generated media assets.

Default operating pattern

1. Decide the intent first: create, remix, poll, list, or download.
2. Collect the exact prompt, duration, size, model, and any reference image or video identifiers before invoking the API.
3. Prefer the bundled scripts/sora.py so async video flows stay reproducible and easier to resume.
4. For remix flows, explicitly name the invariants so the new clip preserves the original shot where intended.
5. Poll until the job reaches a terminal state when the user needs a ready asset, then download and save the requested outputs.

Bundled helper

• scripts/sora.py handles create, remix, polling, listing, and asset download for Sora jobs.

Pack fit

• Included in: docs-media
• Useful for demos, marketing assets, motion concepts, and short product videos.

Boundary

• Do not ask users to paste OPENAI_API_KEY into chat.
• Do not assume Sora access exists for the current account; if the API rejects access, surface that plainly.
