Meta brings Pocket, an app that lets you vibe-code and share games, to US users
Meta is bringing Pocket, its experimental AI-powered app for creating and sharing interactive games, to users across the U.S. after quietly testing it in Brazil.
Meta has expanded its experimental vibe-coding gaming app, Pocket, to all U.S. users. Initially launched in Brazil, the app enables individuals to create small, interactive games using AI prompts, which are then displayed in a scrollable feed. These games, known as "gizmos," react to user touch and phone tilt, play sound effects, and can incorporate clips from users' favorite songs or photos from their phone's camera roll.
Shared on users' profiles, these gizmos can be saved, remixed into new creations, or simply reposted. This move aligns with Meta's ongoing strategy to promote AI creation tools, following previous initiatives like Meta AI-generated images and video apps. CEO Mark Zuckerberg attributes the company's rapid app development to AI's contribution to software creation, aiming to launch more innovative standalone applications in the future.
