Pocket turns AI prompts into playable games, but Meta controls what you make

Meta's new Pocket app, launched in the US on August 21, lets users create playable games and interactive "gizmos" simply by typing prompts, with no code visible. The app presents these creations in a TikTok-style feed with likes, comments, and reposts.

A writer who spent a week testing Pocket found the process of building game prototypes through an LLM surprisingly easy and addictive. However, all creations remain trapped inside Meta's walled garden, offering no real way to extract or reuse them independently.
