Meta Quietly Launches 'Pocket' — A Vibe-Coded Gaming App Powered by AI

Meta has quietly launched a new app called Pocket — a platform where users can create interactive games and mini-apps using AI prompts. This move makes Meta one of the most interesting AI experiments yet.

What Is Pocket?

Pocket is a creative platform where users create "gizmos" — small interactive applications and games generated entirely by AI using text prompts. It also features a scrollable discovery feed to play gizmos created by others.

The Gizmo Story

Meta acquired the vibe-coded gaming platform Gizmo earlier this year. Gizmo had 635,000 lifetime installs with 98% positive sentiment before the acquisition.

What Is Vibe Coding?

"Vibe coding" refers to creating software by describing what you want in natural language and letting AI generate the code. Pocket extends this concept to interactive entertainment.

Meta's AI Ecosystem

Pocket joins Meta AI, Vibes (AI video), and Edits (video-editing for creators) as part of Meta's expanding AI creation tool ecosystem.
