Meta is entering the gaming arena with the introduction of a new application named Pocket, enabling users to create compact, interactive applications and games utilizing AI prompts. This software, stemming from Meta’s acquisition of the team behind the vibe-coded gaming platform Gizmo earlier this year, refers to itself as “a creative platform for crafting and sharing gizmos,” the term used for these interactive experiences. It also features a scrollable feed where users can engage with gizmos created by others.

According to screenshots of the app available on Google Play, there are numerous parallels to Gizmo’s original application, which remains available. Similar to Pocket, Gizmo provides a method to harness written AI prompts for developing small, interactive experiences and offers a discovery feed.

Alessandro Paluzzi, a reverse engineer and frequent discoverer of new applications and features, was the first to notice the launch of the app this morning and shared a Play Store screenshot of the app on X. However, data from the app intelligence firm Appfigures indicates that Pocket was actually launched on June 29, 2026, on both the App Store and Google Play. (Due to its recent introduction, the firm cannot verify whether it has garnered any downloads yet.)

Other media outlets, including Business Insider and Investing.com, have also covered Paluzzi’s finding. Meta has not yet provided a comment on the matter.

Pocket exemplifies Meta’s ongoing efforts to popularize AI creation tools, building on previous initiatives that included AI-generated imagery via its Meta AI app and AI videos developed through its application known as Vibes. The company has additionally integrated AI features across its social networking platforms and into its video-editing application for creators, Edits.

Since Meta has not formally announced the arrival of Pocket, it is probable that Pocket remains in its initial testing phase.

In contrast, its counterpart Gizmo has achieved a total of 635,000 lifetime installs across both iOS and Google Play, as reported by Appfigures, which also highlighted its 98% positive sentiment.
