Meta brings Pocket, an app that lets you vibe-code and share games, to US users
Meta has released 'Pocket,' an experimental app that allows U.S. users to create and share interactive games using AI prompts. This launch is part of Meta's broader strategy to leverage AI-enabled development to ship new standalone applications rapidly.
Why it matters
Meta's strategy demonstrates how AI tools are being used to accelerate software development and increase the volume of experimental consumer products.
Meta’s experimental vibe-coding gaming app, Pocket , is now rolling out to everyone in the U.S. The app, which arrived quietly last month in the test market of Brazil, allows people to generate small, interactive games using AI prompts, which are published to a scrollable feed.
Based on Meta’s acqui-hire of the team at the vibe-coded gaming platform Gizmo earlier this year, these games — or “gizmos” as they’re called — respond to touch and the tilt of your phone, play sound effects, and can include clips of your favorite songs.
They can also use photos from your camera roll or access your camera. The resulting games can then be shared on your profile, where others can save them, remix them into other creations, or simply repost them.
