Pocket's AI made my game ideas real. Now Meta controls the results.

AnnouncementProductAug 31, 2026

Meta launched Pocket, a mobile app for creating interactive "gizmos" from text prompts, in the US on August 21, following its March acquisition of the team behind defunct vibe-coding app Gizmo. A reviewer built functional game prototypes through over 100 prompts, finding most requests worked as intended, though creations remain confined to Meta's platform with no way to export them. The app also includes social sharing features and an Ideas tab suggesting prompts.
