Pocket is based on Meta's acquisition of the app Gizmo and is available for iOS and Android.", "body_md": "A new basic vibe coding app from Meta, designed to help you use its AI tools to make small, interactive minigames, is now available in the US.\n\nMeta Pocket first launched in July for a brief testing period in Brazil, but it’s now available to anyone in the US to make, play, and share short interactive experiences. Meta refers to these light minigames as “gizmos”.\n\nDescribed by Meta as \"a small interactive experience you can tap and touch,\" gizmos are tools you'd likely play around with for a couple of minutes at most. For example, Meta's marketing shows one experience that uses a photo of a flower as a paintbrush.\n\nGizmos are built using Meta's AI models, which you can prompt until you create the perfect experience. Pocket can use the tilt of your phone, your touch screen, sound effects, songs you upload, or any photos you add to the creator to power the experiences.\n\nYou can play other people's gizmos and even remix them to add your own components. Don't like the flower photo the original creator used? Upload your own instead. The app includes a feed where you can browse other people's creations within playlists.\n\nYou can download Meta’s Pocket app now on [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pocket-make-gizmos/id6761221765) and [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.gizmo&hl=en_US). It’s unclear when the app will come to other markets outside Brazil and the US, or whether Meta intends to offer it elsewhere.\n\nPocket is based on Meta's previous acquisition of an app called Gizmo, which made similar interactive experiences. Meta shut down the app after it was purchased, rebuilding the tools into its own branded experience, likely built to encourage users to try Meta AI for themselves and share creations across its social media platforms.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/metas-new-vibe-coding-app-helps-you-make-tiny-ai-generated-minigames", "canonical_source": "https://uk.pcmag.com/ai/166846/metas-new-vibe-coding-app-helps-you-make-tiny-ai-generated-minigames", "published_at": "2026-08-21 14:40:05+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-21 15:13:44.304827+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["generative-ai", "ai-products", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Meta", "Meta Pocket", "Gizmo", "iOS", "Android"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/metas-new-vibe-coding-app-helps-you-make-tiny-ai-generated-minigames", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/metas-new-vibe-coding-app-helps-you-make-tiny-ai-generated-minigames.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/metas-new-vibe-coding-app-helps-you-make-tiny-ai-generated-minigames.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/metas-new-vibe-coding-app-helps-you-make-tiny-ai-generated-minigames.jsonld"}}
