Meta is reportedly testing a new AI-powered app called Pocket, giving users an easy way to create and share interactive games and mini apps using nothing more than simple text prompts.
The app, which has not yet been officially announced by Meta, allows anyone to describe an idea in writing and have artificial intelligence generate a playable experience. Pocket refers to these creations as "gizmos," and users can publish them for others to play and explore.
Alongside its creation tools, Pocket also features a scrollable discovery feed, allowing users to browse games and interactive experiences made by other members of the community. The design encourages users to both create and discover new AI-generated content within the app.
Pocket is the result of Meta's acquisition of the team behind Gizmo, an AI gaming platform the company purchased earlier this year. Many of Pocket's features closely resemble those found in the original Gizmo app, which remains available on app stores.
Like Pocket, Gizmo enables users to build interactive experiences using written prompts and includes a social feed where players can browse creations from other users. The transition suggests Meta has built upon Gizmo's existing technology rather than starting from scratch.
The app was first spotted by technology researcher and reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi, who shared screenshots of the Google Play listing on X. According to data from app intelligence firm Appfigures, Pocket actually became available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store on June 29, 2026.
Because the app is still very new, Appfigures says it does not yet have enough data to estimate how many people have downloaded it.
Several technology news outlets, including Business Insider and Investing.com, later confirmed the app's availability. However, Meta has not publicly commented on the launch or revealed its plans for the platform.
Pocket is the latest example of Meta's growing investment in AI-powered creative tools.
Over the past year, the company has introduced several AI products designed to make content creation easier for everyday users. These include AI-generated images through the Meta AI app, AI-powered video creation with Vibes, and built-in AI features across Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and its creator-focused video editing app, Edits.
Rather than requiring coding knowledge, Pocket uses AI to handle the technical work, allowing users to focus on describing their ideas. This approach reflects the growing popularity of "vibe coding," where AI generates software, games, or apps from natural language instead of traditional programming.
Although Meta has not officially unveiled Pocket, its quiet release suggests the company may still be testing the platform before a wider rollout. Many of Meta's new products have gone through similar experimental phases before receiving larger public launches.
The original Gizmo platform has already shown promising results. According to Appfigures, the app accumulated more than 635,000 downloads across iOS and Android before the acquisition and maintained a 98% positive user sentiment, indicating strong satisfaction among its users.
If Pocket builds on that early success, it could become another important part of Meta's expanding AI ecosystem, giving millions of users the ability to create games and interactive experiences without needing any programming experience.
