Meta has quietly launched Pocket, a new app that allows users to generate small interactive applications and games by describing their ideas through text prompts.
The platform refers to these AI-generated experiences as “gizmos.” Users can create their own gizmos, share them with others, and browse a scrollable feed containing projects made by other people.
Pocket describes itself as a platform for creating and sharing small interactive experiences.
According to its Google Play listing, gizmos can react to touch and the movement of a phone. They can also play music and sound effects, access the camera, use photos from the device and, in some cases, reason about their surroundings.
Users can create a gizmo simply by entering a written description. They can then publish it to Pocket’s discovery feed, where others can play with it or remix it when the creator permits.
Reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi drew attention to Pocket after spotting its store listing.
App intelligence company Appfigures said the app first appeared on Apple’s App Store and Google Play on June 29, 2026. Its download figures were not yet available because of the recent launch.
Meta has not formally announced Pocket, suggesting that the app may still be in an early testing phase. It is also not yet available in every country.
Pocket closely resembles Gizmo, an existing platform that also lets users create interactive mini-apps and games with AI prompts.
Meta hired the engineering team behind Gizmo earlier this year and obtained a non-exclusive licence to technology developed by Atma Sciences, the company responsible for the original app. The team joined Meta’s Superintelligence Labs.
Gizmo had recorded around 635,000 installations across iOS and Android, with Appfigures reporting 98% positive user sentiment.
Pocket expands Meta’s efforts to bring AI-generated content into consumer applications.
The company already supports AI image creation through Meta AI, AI-generated videos through Vibes, and AI tools inside Facebook, Instagram, and its Edits video application.
Pocket takes a different approach by allowing users to generate playable and interactive content instead of conventional images or videos.
