Meta is going to let you build games with AI right on your phone
Confirmed
In Short: Meta announced new tools for creating games with AI and introduced several new devices featuring its AI assistant, Muse.
Meta today unveiled two new development tools, Horizon Create and Horizon Studio, designed to facilitate game creation using AI prompts.
Muse can perform tasks such as opening browsers, filling out forms, and even negotiating on behalf of users.
Meta plans to introduce a more secure version of Muse later this year, with features like 1Password and Shop Pay support, and the ability to make secure purchases through Stripe’s Link.
In addition to these tools, Meta showcased the Ray-Ban Meta Audio, its first AI glasses without a camera, at Connect 2026 in Menlo Park, California.
Meta also announced the Muse Charm, a portable device that houses its AI assistant and can be attached to keys.
