Google rebuilt the Fitbit smartphone app with a redesigned interface and an AI-powered Personal Health Coach built on Gemini, launching in October alongside the Pixel Watch 4 as an opt-in beta. The redesign adds easier navigation, improved data visualization, better device syncing, and dark mode. The Personal Health Coach is exclusive to Fitbit Premium and uses 24/7 wearable data to provide personalized guidance. Onboarding includes preference and equipment questions, and conversations evolve by incorporating recent sleep and workout data to tailor plans. The coach can adjust workouts and follow up based on user-reported wellbeing.
Fitbit's smartphone app has undergone several redesigns over the past two years, and now there's another big one coming in October, timed to the launch of the newly announced Pixel Watch 4. Launching as an opt-in review (an open beta), the design centers on Google's AI-powered Personal Health Coach, built with Gemini. The entire app has been rebuilt from the ground up with the new AI coaching feature.
This Personal Health Coach feature is available only to Fitbit Premium subscribers. The idea behind the assistant-which doesn't quite have a personality or even a name-is to let users ask anything and everything about health and fitness and receive personalized guidance thanks to the 24/7 health data collected by your Fitbit wearable or Pixel Watch. During the onboarding, the coach will ask you questions so it can better understand your preferences and equipment, but this is a conversation that will continually evolve.
When the coach presents your data with insights, like your sleep score from the night before or the data from your most recent workout, you can start a conversation, and that data will be incorporated into the coach's responses. That conversation could then include tailoring the workouts for the week if your sleep score wasn't great. If you're just not feeling up to it or are under the weather, just tell the coach, and it'll make tweaks to the workout plan
