Meta launches experimental AI app Pocket for generating and sharing interactive mini-games

Meta has released an experimental AI app called Pocket, which enables users to generate and share small, interactive experiences using text prompts. The app was developed by a team acquired from the vibe-coded gaming platform Gizmo earlier in 2026.

Pocket describes itself as 'a creative platform for making and sharing gizmos,' referring to the interactive experiences created by users. The app includes a scrollable feed where users can play with and discover gizmos created by others, mirroring features from Gizmo’s original platform.

According to app intelligence data from Appfigures, Pocket launched on June 29, 2026, on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. The app’s existence was first noted by reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi, who shared screenshots of the app’s Google Play listing on X.

Meta has not officially announced Pocket’s debut, suggesting it may still be in an early experimentation phase. The app’s counterpart, Gizmo, had accumulated 635,000 lifetime installs across iOS and Android, with a 98% positive sentiment, according to Appfigures.

Pocket aligns with Meta’s broader strategy to integrate AI creation tools into its ecosystem, following its earlier AI features such as AI-generated images via Meta AI and AI videos through its Vibes app. AI features have also been added across Meta’s social platforms and its video-editing app for creators, Edits.
