The Fitbit App Is Turning Into an AI-Powered Personal Health Coach


Built with Gemini, Google’s AI health coach will be everything but a doctor.

Andy Abramson, director of product management at Google, says the redesign also offers easier app navigation, better data visualization, improved syncing between wearable devices, and (finally) a dark mode. Chandra says the company is exploring multimodal interactions—think sending a video of your hotel gym equipment and asking for workout recommendations—and potentially incorporating Gemini Live for a more real-time conversation experience. We've tried several versions of AI-powered health coaches with other fitness trackers with mixed results (Garmin, Whoop, and Oura all have them, for example), but Fitbit's partnerships and peer-reviewed research make this an attractive proposition.
