Meta has quietly launched a new app called Pocket, designed to allow users to create and share interactive mini-games or "gizmos" using text prompts. The app, which leverages generative AI, was first spotted by a mobile developer and has been available on iOS and Android since late June, though it is not yet widely accessible in the US. Pocket appears to be an evolution of Meta's AI initiatives, potentially stemming from the acquisition of the team behind the Gizmo app, which also focused on AI-driven interactive experiences. AI
