Meta's Waddle World is a Tamagotchi-like AI pet app
Looks like a big part of Meta's AI strategy is to rely on "uwu" and cuteness as a way to get people to use and train its models and agents.
AI Summary
Meta has launched Waddle World, a Tamagotchi‑style AI‑powered pet‑rearing game that is currently available only in the Philippines. The 16‑bit app, listed on the Apple App Store and Google Play, debuted in late September. Players hatch an egg, care for the virtual pet and can write or dictate daily journal entries, which the pet answers with AI‑generated text and a small doodle. Meta describes the experience as “a daily journal disguised as a pet,” using its AI models to power the pet’s conversational replies.
