OpenAI is shutting Sora down — the app closed on April 26, 2026 and the Sora API sunsets on September 24, 2026. AIGE is a home for that workflow: multi-vendor video (Kling, VEO, Seedance), a public HTTP + MCP API, and character consistency across image and video.
Try AIGE Free →If you built on the Sora API, you have to move before September 24, 2026. AIGE gives you a public API and multiple video models behind one account, plus character consistency across images and video — so you're not re-betting on a single closed model.

You're migrating off the Sora API before its September 24, 2026 sunset, need a public API/MCP for agentic workflows, or want character consistency and multi-vendor model choice under one account.
Nothing to migrate — but note the Sora app is already closed and the API retires September 24, 2026.
OpenAI discontinued the Sora app and web experience on April 26, 2026, and the Sora API (including sora-2 and sora-2-pro) is scheduled to sunset on September 24, 2026. Anything built on the Sora API has to migrate before that date.
For teams migrating off the Sora API, AIGE offers a public HTTP + MCP API across multiple video models (Kling, VEO, Seedance) behind one account, so you aren't locked to a single vendor again. It also carries character consistency across image and video, which Sora required careful prompting to approximate.
Yes. AIGE supports image-to-video (start-frame) across its video models and audio on supported models, so the common Sora workflows have a direct equivalent.
Create an AIGE account, generate through the studio or the HTTP/MCP API, and pick the model per shot (Kling, VEO, or Seedance) instead of a single fixed model. Character consistency lets you carry the same face across shots.
AIGE Free is free to start (credits included), and paid generation is billed as a per-second credit cost shown upfront. Sora was bundled into ChatGPT Plus/Pro rather than priced per generation.
