TL;DR: Google Launches Gemini-Powered Fitbit Personal Health Coach
On October 28, Google will launch a public preview of its Gemini-powered Fitbit Personal Health Coach, available for Fitbit Premium users with compatible devices in the US. This feature offers AI-driven, chat-based support for fitness, sleep, and general health, evolving from user lifestyle insights into personalized plans. The updated Fitbit app now features tabs for Today, Fitness, Sleep, and Health, focusing on long-term wellness rather than daily streaks.
The coach provides tailored fitness routines, sleep analysis, and wellness insights, utilizing existing tracking data. While still a work in progress, the preview encourages user feedback, allowing adjustments to improve the experience. Android users can access this innovation first, with iOS support coming soon. Google aims to enhance health guidance in its ecosystem, signifying a shift toward more personalized wellness solutions in wearable technology. Full rollout expected next year on new Fitbit hardware.
