Background
Meta rolled out a new social AI app named Pocket, built as a creative platform where users can make, share and discover interactive mini games with friends.
Using simple AI prompts, people can create small interactive experiences known as “gizmos,” putting game creation within reach of anyone. Pocket also features a scrollable feed where users can explore and play gizmos made by other creators, turning the app into both a creative tool and a social discovery platform.
Pocket grew out of Meta’s acquisition of the team behind Gizmo, a vibe-coded gaming platform Meta acquired earlier this year. The new app carries forward Gizmo’s core strengths, including AI-prompted creation tools and a discovery feed, while expanding the experience under Meta’s platform.
Gizmo’s original app built a strong track record ahead of Pocket’s launch, generating 635,000 lifetime installs across iOS and Google Play with a 98% positive sentiment score, according to app intelligence provider Appfigures.
Pocket represents Meta’s latest step in making AI creation tools more accessible to everyday users. The app joins a growing lineup of Meta’s creative AI products, including its Meta AI app for generating images, its Vibes app for AI-created videos, and AI-powered features built into Edits, Meta’s video-editing app for creators.
The launch reflects Meta’s broader strategy of weaving AI-powered creativity into its family of apps, giving users more ways to build, share and enjoy interactive content directly within Meta’s ecosystem.
Pocket brings fun, AI-made games to more people. It adds a new interactive piece to Meta’s creative tools and opens fresh chances for social gaming and discovery.
