Pika launches video-creation plugin inside ChatGPT
Pika has brought its generative image, video and sound tools into ChatGPT through a plugin, so users can make and edit media inside a chat instead of switching to a separate studio.
Generative video startup Pika announced a "Pika x ChatGPT plugin extension." The company says it built the plugin with OpenAI. It runs in ChatGPT on desktop and web and gives users access to Pika's 40+ creative apps and more than 100 generative media models.
Users can work with the tools in two ways. Interactive panels and visual presets appear inline in the conversation. A full Pika workspace can also be opened in a side panel when a task needs more room. Pika says the plugin connects to a user's existing Pika library in both directions. Clips can be pulled into a chat for variations or batch edits, and anything made in ChatGPT is saved back to the library.
The plugin also includes an editing timeline. Users can ask ChatGPT to adjust timing, regenerate individual clips, add transitions and effects, and create matching sound effects or music. Users can pick a specific model or let Pika choose one. Pika's pitch is that ChatGPT already holds context like briefs, data analyses or press releases, so that material can feed straight into the creative work.
To get started, users add the plugin, sign in to a Pika account and mention @Pika in a chat. Pika is giving 250 bonus credits after a user's first generation through the plugin.
The announcement does not cover pricing beyond the credits, any revenue-sharing or business terms with OpenAI, usage figures, or which of the 100+ models are included.
