Meta's Pocket: Code Games with AI
21 Aug
Summary
- Pocket app lets users generate minigames via AI prompts.
- Gizmos can react to touch, tilt, and use photos/songs.
- Meta hired the team behind a similar app called Gizmo.
Meta has launched its AI-powered creation app, Pocket, in the United States following a testing phase in Brazil. This platform enables users to generate interactive minigames, referred to as 'gizmos,' by simply inputting text prompts.
These gizmos leverage modern smartphone capabilities, responding to touch and tilt inputs, and can integrate photos and music. The app includes a social media component where creations are published to a feed, allowing users to save them, repost them, and even remix them into new designs.
The name 'gizmos' likely stems from the app's ability to create more than just games, such as simple drawing canvases. Furthermore, Meta acquired the development team from a previous app named Gizmo, which offered similar functionality and nomenclature.
Pocket is available for free and represents another AI-focused initiative from Meta, following features like AI-generated content feeds and AI-powered profile photo animations.
