OpenAI Sora OpenAI Sora: AI Visibility Report

openai.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about ai video creation, OpenAI Sora ranks #15 of 15, a Visibility Score of 8 in AI Video Creation .

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.

How AI sees OpenAI Sora

Dead last in its only race, barely in the room.

Where it wins. Sora holds a consistent 8.3% mention rate in AI Video Creation, and every mention that occurs converts to a first-pick nomination at the same 8.3% rate, meaning it is not being dismissed outright when it surfaces.

Where it loses. Ranking 15th of 15 in AI Video Creation tells the full story: buyers asking about best overall tools, enterprise picks, use-case fit, or budget alternatives never hear Sora's name, and Runway, Synthesia, and HeyGen are consistently framing the category without it.
