Meta Preparing Standalone App Pocket for AI Mini Games

Meta has launched Pocket, an experimental AI app that lets users generate and share interactive mini games using text prompts. The app is listed on the Google Play Store under the package name com.facebook.gizmo and on Meta's Help Center.

It was not available to download in the US on July 2, 2026. Business Insider reported that Meta hired the team at Atma Sciences Inc. earlier in 2026 and acquired a non-exclusive license to the company's technology.

Atma Sciences Inc. previously built an app called Gizmo that had over 14,000 ratings and a 4.9 score on the Apple App Store. Alessandro Paluzzi posted on July 2, 2026, that Meta is working on the new app called Pocket.

Business Insider reported that Pocket will be promoted inside other Meta apps. Meta describes Pocket as a platform to create, share, and discover gizmos with friends. A gizmo is defined as an interactive, playable AI-generated experience that responds to touch, phone tilt, sound effects, camera input, and reasoning about the surrounding environment.

Meta has introduced other new social apps in recent years, including Threads and Forum, alongside several AI-focused products. Business Insider reported that Sekai, an app with a similar premise to Pocket, recently raised $20 million in Series A funding.
