Pocket's AI made my game ideas real. Now Meta controls the results.

Meta has launched Pocket, a mobile app that lets users create interactive game prototypes using only natural language prompts, with no coding experience needed. The app leverages AI to generate functional gizmos that are shared in a TikTok-style feed, but all creations remain trapped within Meta's ecosystem with no export options.

Background

Meta acquired the team behind the now-defunct vibe-coding app Gizmo in March 2026, marking another push into AI-assisted creative tools. This follows the broader trend of AI-powered coding assistants lowering barriers to software creation.
