Meta Launches AI-Powered Pet Journal App Waddle World in Philippines
Meta has quietly released 'Waddle World,' a 16-bit, Tamagotchi-style application that functions as an AI-driven daily journal. The app features virtual pets that interact with users through voice conversations and generate doodles to illustrate chats. Currently, the free application is restricted to adult users in the Philippines. This launch follows another regional release, 'Style Sketch,' an AI fashion app available in Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. These niche applications appear to be part of Meta's broader strategy to integrate AI agents—such as its Muse AI agent—into consumer-facing lifestyle products through mascot-driven experiences.
