Meta Readies Pocket App for Creating AI Mini Games

Meta has launched Pocket, an app that allows users to generate and share interactive mini games using text prompts. The software is listed on the Google Play Store under the package name com.facebook.gizmo and appears on Meta's Help Center. Pocket was first launched on June 29, 2026, on the App Store and Google Play, according to data from Appfigures.

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. Gizmo had generated 635,000 lifetime installs across both iOS and Google Play and had a 98% positive sentiment, Appfigures data showed.

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 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.
