Fitbit Premium will offer a personal AI health coach powered by Google's Gemini starting in October. The coach functions as a fitness trainer, sleep coach, and health and wellness advisor within a single app. The coach asks users about exercise frequency, ability, routine, preferences, and available equipment, then builds tailored exercise routines. The coach adjusts workouts based on sleep, recovery, and strain data collected by the wearable. Users can manually update plans for temporary changes such as injuries or schedule disruptions. The trend reflects a shift from passive data collection to AI-driven planning and active behavior guidance in wearables.
New smartwatches are getting the AI training coach treatment, and Google's unveiling of its revamped Fitbit is no different. The tech giant announced that Fitbit is getting a facelift with the help of Gemini, Google's AI agent. Starting in October, Fitbit Premium will get its own personal AI health coach that is a "fitness trainer, a sleep coach, and a health and wellness advisor" packed into one wellness app.
This new AI-powered health coach, available within Fitbit's paid tier, tailors its activity and sleep guidance to your routine, conditions, and behavioral data it's collected. The coach begins by asking questions about the user, like their exercise frequency and ability, their routine, preferences, and available equipment. It then builds an exercise routine tailored to that input. After creating a plan, Fitbit's AI coach will adjust workout plans based on data like sleep, recovery, or strain.
