Meta Launches Its Generative AI Mini-Game Creation App in the US
Meta’s Pocket app, which lets users create mini-games and interactive experiences using generative artificial intelligence, has launched in the US. Following a brief trial in Brazil, the app allows users to create various forms of interactive content called “gizmos” using simple text prompts. Content created in Pocket can then be shared in a scrollable feed where other users can view it. Users can vote for gizmos they like, reshare them in their own feeds and modify saved creations to make new versions.
The app’s capabilities are not limited to conventional mini-games. Users can create interactive experiences that use touch and the phone’s motion sensors, as well as add photos and music to projects. For example, a simple drawing interface could also be one of the “gizmos” created in Pocket. One reason Meta calls this content “gizmos” rather than “mini-games” is that it does not consist solely of games. Another reason is that the company previously hired most of the team behind an app called Gizmo that operated in the same area. That app shut down following this development.
