Sora API alternatives and GPT Image for your AI agent

    OpenAI discontinued the Sora API on September 24, 2026. For video, your agent can use Kling, Veo or Seedance through Agensi instead. From OpenAI we offer GPT Image 2 and GPT Image 2.5 for images, plus tools that read ChatGPT's answers. You need no OpenAI account or API key; your agent pays from your Agensi balance.

    What do you want your agent to do?

    • Make an image fast

      GPT Image 2.5 Flare is OpenAI's speed-first image model and the one OpenAI suggests for most everyday images.

    • Edit an image precisely

      GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst takes longer but holds fine detail, and OpenAI recommends it when edits must be exact.

    • Run a skill built on GPT Image 2

      Many of our image skills were written for GPT Image 2, so it is the safe pick when a skill names it.

    • See how ChatGPT answers a question

      Run a prompt through ChatGPT with web search and get the answer, the sources it cites and the brands it names.

    • Check ChatGPT shopping results

      See the products, shopping cards and ads ChatGPT shows next to its answer to a buying question.

    • Make video now that the Sora API has closed

      Kling, Veo and Seedance make clips with sound from text or an image. Our video page compares them.

    How to choose the best OpenAI tool or MCP for you

    Speed or precision

    Use Flare for quick images and drafts, and Sunburst when you edit the same image over several rounds or need fine detail.

    Quality setting

    Each GPT Image tool is priced per image by quality, so ask your agent for a lower quality while you test ideas, then a higher one for the final.

    Images or answers

    The GPT Image tools make pictures. The ChatGPT tools read the answers ChatGPT gives in its app, to check how your brand shows up in AI answers.

    Why use OpenAI's models through Agensi?

    Using OpenAI directly means an OpenAI account, an API key and billing you manage yourself. Through Agensi your agent uses GPT Image with no key, from the same balance as Nano Banana, Kling, Veo and our data tools, so it can pick the right model for each job. It runs each image from your balance and tells you what it cost. Failed uses are free.

    When another way is the better choice. Call OpenAI directly if you build your own app with an OpenAI key and need every setting of its image API. If you only make images while chatting in ChatGPT, its built-in image tool may be all you need.

    Set up in your AI agent

    Connect your AI agent to Agensi once, sign in and click Allow. After that it can use every tool: it runs one from your balance and tells you what it cost. No API keys or provider accounts.

    1. Open Settings, then Connectors, then Browse connectors and add Agensi (or Add custom connector and paste https://mcp.agensi.io/mcp/auth).
    2. Sign in to Agensi and click Allow. One agent per account: connecting a new one disconnects the old one.
    3. Ask for what you want, for example: "Use Agensi to make four product shots of our soy candle with GPT Image 2.5 Flare, refine the best one with Sunburst, and check what ChatGPT answers when someone asks for the best soy candles." Top up from $5 if your balance is low; failed uses are free.

    Grok, VS Code, GitHub Copilot, Cline, Kiro and other agents with remote MCP and sign-in work too: see the setup guide.

    What it costs: a worked example

    "Use Agensi to make four product shots of our soy candle with GPT Image 2.5 Flare, refine the best one with Sunburst, and check what ChatGPT answers when someone asks for the best soy candles."

    • 4 × Product shot drafts

    • 1 × Refined final image

    • 1 × ChatGPT answer with sources

    Your agent works out the exact price for your request and tells you what it cost.

    Combine OpenAI tools with skills

    OpenAI MCP: frequently asked questions

    No. OpenAI discontinued the Sora API on September 24, 2026, after closing the Sora app in April. For text to video or image to video, your agent can use Kling, Veo or Seedance through the same Agensi connection. Our video page compares them by job, length and sound.

    Each GPT Image tool on this page shows its live price, and the cost depends on the model and the quality you ask for. Your agent works out the exact price, makes the image from your balance and tells you what it cost. Failed uses are free, and there is no OpenAI bill to manage.

    Yes. Add Agensi to ChatGPT as a custom MCP server with sign-in, or to Codex CLI as an MCP server, and sign in once. One account connects one agent at a time, so connecting a new app disconnects the old one. Claude, Cursor and other MCP apps work the same way.

    No. Connect your AI agent to Agensi and add funds to your balance. Your agent runs GPT Image from that balance while it covers the price, or asks first if you choose that in your Dashboard under Balance. Image links work for 7 days, and the files stay in your Dashboard for 30 days.
