Meta Releases Pocket, Enabling App Creation via Prompts Only

This article is a translation. Read the Japanese original

Meta has begun offering the mobile app "Pocket" in the United States. The app allows users to create fully functional interactive "gizmos" simply by entering prompts into a text box.

Users can share their created content in an infinite-scroll format similar to TikTok without writing any code. Shared content includes features such as likes, comments, and reposts.

Meta assigned the development team from "Gizmo," which it acquired in March, to this project. Within the app, it is possible to prototype games through interaction with an LLM. Practical prototypes, including physics calculations and UI functions, are generated in a short time using only prompt-based instructions.

On the other hand, the created content is designed to remain within Meta's platform. At this time, no means are provided to export generated outputs as independent external applications.
