Meta quietly launches vibe-coded gaming app Pocket

Meta is getting into gaming with the launch of a new app called Bagthat allows people to generate small, interactive apps and games using AI prompts. The software, a result of Meta’s acquisition from the team behind vibe-coded gaming platform Gizmo earlier this year, describes itself as “a creative platform for creating and sharing gadgets,” which is what the interactive experiences are called. It also offers a scrollable feed where you can play with gadgets that others have created.

Based on the screenshots of the app in Google Play, there are many similarities with Gizmo’s original app, which is still listed. Like Pocket, Gizmo also offers a way to use written AI prompts to build small, interactive experiences, and it includes a discovery feed.

Alessandro Paluzzi, a reverse engineer and regular spotter of new apps and features, first noticed the app’s launch this morning and posted a Play Store screenshot of the app on X. According to data from app intelligence provider App figuresHowever, Pocket first launched on June 29, 2026 on the App Store and Google Play. (Due to the newness, the company can’t say if any downloads are still visible.)

Other outlets including Business insider And Investing.comhave also reported on Paluzzi’s discovery. Meta has not yet responded to a request for comment.

Pocket is another example of Meta’s push to make AI creation tools more mainstream, expanding on its previous efforts including AI-generated images created through the Meta AI app and AI videos created with the app called Vibes. It has also added AI features on its social platforms and in its video editing app for creators, Edits.

Since Meta hasn’t officially announced Pocket’s debut yet, it’s likely that Pocket is still in the early stages of experimentation.

However, its counterpart Gizmo had generated 635,000 lifetime installs on both iOS and Google Play, according to Appfigures, which noted that it had a 98% positive sentiment.
