Meta’s New Pocket App Signals A Bigger Push Into AI-Powered Gaming

Meta is expanding its push into AI-powered content creation with the launch of Pocket, a new app that allows users to generate interactive apps and games using simple text prompts.

Turning Ideas Into Interactive Experiences

Described on Google Play as “a creative platform for making and sharing gizmos,” Pocket enables users to create small interactive experiences from written prompts and share them with others. The app also features a discovery feed where users can browse and play creations from the wider community.

Based on screenshots published on Google Play, Pocket closely resembles Gizmo, the AI-powered gaming platform Meta acquired earlier this year. Like its predecessor, the app focuses on turning text prompts into lightweight games and interactive experiences.

A Quiet Launch Following The Gizmo Acquisition

The app was first spotted by reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi, who shared screenshots from the Google Play listing on X. According to app intelligence firm Appfigures, Pocket became available on both the App Store and Google Play on June 29, although it is still too early to determine whether it has attracted meaningful downloads.

Meta has not officially announced the app or responded to requests for comment.

Another Step In Meta’s AI Strategy

Pocket fits into Meta’s broader effort to bring AI-powered creative tools to a wider audience. Over the past year, the company has introduced AI image generation through Meta AI, video creation tools in Vibes, AI features across its social platforms and new creator capabilities in its Edits app.

By extending those tools into casual gaming, Meta is expanding beyond images and video into interactive content, allowing users not only to generate media but also to build playable experiences with AI.

Early Days, But Clear Direction

While Pocket appears to be in the early stages of its rollout, the launch offers another glimpse into Meta’s long-term AI strategy. Rather than positioning artificial intelligence solely as a productivity tool, the company is increasingly using it to help consumers create, share and discover content across different formats.

That strategy may already have a foundation. According to Appfigures, Gizmo has generated an estimated 635,000 lifetime installs across iOS and Google Play, with a 98% positive sentiment score. If Pocket is the next evolution of that platform, Meta is betting that AI-assisted game creation could become another pillar of its growing creator ecosystem.

bbf: Presents :eden coast — The Art Of Living By The Mediterranean

by News Editor

July 3, 2026

Some destinations are remembered for where they are. Others for how they make us feel.

Life by the Mediterranean has a quality of its own. Defined by light, open horizons and a slower pace, it encourages a way of living where time is measured less by the clock and more by the moments that matter. It is this philosophy that inspired :eden coast.

With the unveiling of :eden coast, bbf: introduces an exceptional collection of beachfront villas in Geroskipou, Paphos, where architecture is conceived as a natural extension of its surroundings. Every residence has been designed to honour the coastline, allowing the sea, the light and the changing seasons to become the defining elements of everyday life.

At :eden coast, luxury reveals itself with quiet confidence so nothing feels excessive. It is expressed in generous space, carefully composed proportions, enduring materials and an effortless relationship between interior and exterior. Expansive glazing welcomes the Mediterranean sky indoors, while private gardens, terraces and pools encourage a life lived as much outside as within.

Few locations offer such a natural balance between tranquillity and connectivity. Set along a quieter stretch of Paphos’ coastline, :eden coast enjoys the rare privilege of beachfront living away from the crowds, where the landscape remains unspoilt and the rhythm of the Mediterranean shapes every day. Yet the cultural richness of Paphos, its vibrant dining scene, international airport and every modern convenience are all within easy reach, allowing residents to retreat into complete serenity without ever feeling removed from the world around them.

Beyond the residences, a carefully curated collection of wellness and leisure experiences extends this philosophy. Landscaped gardens, elegant swimming pools, spaces dedicated to movement and wellbeing, and thoughtfully designed communal areas encourage a slower, richer way of living. They are not amenities in the conventional sense; they are an expression of a lifestyle shaped by balance, privacy and quiet sophistication.

“Our ambition was never simply to create beautiful residences. It was to create a place where architecture, landscape and everyday life exist in complete harmony—a place that feels as though it has always belonged to the coastline,”
says Artem Burtsev at bbf:.

In a world that rarely slows down, :eden coast offers something increasingly rare: the freedom to live at a different pace. Here, mornings begin with the sea, nature sets the rhythm of the day, and the energy of Paphos is always within easy reach. It is a place where tranquillity and connectivity exist in perfect balance, allowing residents to experience the Mediterranean not as a destination, but as a way of life.
