Meta released a new app called Pocket, which allows users to create and share AI-generated interactive mini-games. Following the acquisition of Gizmo's development team, this app uses AI prompts to let users generate "gizmos" that are shared socially. Pocket is available on iOS and Android but not yet widely accessible.
Meta has launched Pocket, an app for creating and sharing interactive mini-games using AI-generated prompts. Users can develop 'gizmos,' leveraging the company's recent acquisition of the Gizmo platform and its technology talents.
The app offers a scrollable discovery feed for users to explore creations shared by others globally. Available since late June, Pocket is downloadable via the App Store and Google Play.
However, availability is currently limited, with users in the U.S. unable to access the app at this stage.
The introduction of Pocket aligns with Meta's strategic shift towards AI integration in social media. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has championed the use of artificial intelligence to enhance interactive user experiences. This direction follows Meta's acquisition of engineers from Atma Sciences Inc., the originators of Gizmo.
Meta's investment in interactive and generative AI capabilities underlines the tech giant's commitment to innovating new forms of user interaction within its ecosystem.
Pocket's debut was not accompanied by a public announcement, and its limited release hampers its initial market impact. Reports confirm its presence on smartphone platforms while noting its absence on U.S.-based device models.
The future of Pocket's roll-out and its reception will largely depend on broader geographical availability and potential official announcements from Meta.
