Meta has quietly released Pocket, a new application that leverages artificial intelligence to allow users to generate and share interactive applications and games simply by using text prompts.
The platform is now accessible on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. This launch follows Meta's recent acquisition of the team behind Gizmo, a service that previously enabled users to build interactive experiences through generative AI. Pocket appears to be a continuation and evolution of that technology.
Described on Google Play as "a creative platform for making and sharing gizmos," the app defines a gizmo as "a small interactive thing you can tap and play with." The platform emphasizes the ease of creation, stating that users "can make a gizmo just by describing it."
Pocket also incorporates a social element with a feed that allows users to browse and engage with the creations shared by the wider community. Screenshots available on Google Play indicate that the app retains key features from the original Gizmo platform, including its AI-driven creation tools and a discovery feed for exploring user-generated content.
