I built a browser-based Video Generator using OpenAI Sora 2 API (No GPU required)

#webdev #javascript #ai #showdev

Hey developers! 👋

I recently launched VirWorld AI, a tool that lets users generate cinematic videos from static images directly in the browser.

💡 The Problem

Most AI video tools require heavy local GPUs or complex Python setups (like ComfyUI). I wanted to build something accessible that runs purely on the web.

🛠️ The Solution

VirWorld AI connects directly to the OpenAI Sora 2 API, offloading the rendering to the cloud.

Frontend: Next.js + Tailwind CSS
Backend: Node.js
Core: Sora 2 Video Model

🚀 Try it out

It's optimized for vertical video (TikTok/Reels). I'd love to get your feedback on the UI and generation speed!
