Meta Launches AI-Powered Mac App And Expands Vibe-Coded Gaming Platform Pocket

Meta announced a new Mac application for Meta AI featuring system-wide dictation and screen-context awareness powered by its Muse Spark model, joining similar tools from Wispr Flow and Google’s Gemini app. The release accompanied a broader business-focused update allowing merchants to connect Instagram, Facebook, ad campaigns, and Google Workspace accounts to Meta AI for performance insights, competitor intelligence, and automated document and spreadsheet creation. The company has increasingly pursued AI-driven customer support tools across its apps, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg previously highlighting enterprise agent sales as a significant growth opportunity.

Separately, Meta’s experimental vibe-coding app Pocket, which lets users generate small interactive games called gizmos using AI prompts, expanded nationwide in the United States after initially testing in Brazil. The games, built on technology from Meta’s acquisition of the Gizmo team, respond to touch and phone movement and can incorporate camera roll photos or music clips for sharing and remixing. Zuckerberg attributed Meta’s accelerated app output, which also includes Instants, Forum, and Seller, to AI-enabled software development streamlining the testing and shipping process. With Pocket’s expansion, Meta is discontinuing the original Gizmo app acquired from Atma Sciences.
