Meta Launches Pocket App for AI-Generated Interactive Gizmos

Meta released an experimental app called Pocket that lets users create and share small interactive experiences built from text prompts. The app generates items called gizmos that respond to touch, device tilt, sound, camera input, and photos. Users can choose whether others may remix posted items.

Meta describes gizmos as playable AI-generated experiences.

The company says gizmos can play sound effects and songs, use the device camera, or pull photos from the camera roll. A help center page states that some gizmos can reason about the world around them. Users scroll a feed of gizmos created by people around the world.

Meta obtained a non-exclusive license for technology from Atma Sciences Inc. The earlier Gizmo app from that firm shares design similarities with the new release. Screenshots posted on Google Play show comparable features between the two applications.

Meta stated that the app “isn’t available in your country” for some U.S. users and noted it is “not yet available everywhere.” The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Background on the prior Pocket service shows Mozilla discontinued its read-it-later application also named Pocket in 2025. The new Meta app carries no functional overlap with the earlier service.
