Google announces new AI-powered personal health and fitness coach for Fitbit

Google has announced a new AI-powered personal health coach for Fitbit, developed using its Gemini AI technology. This coach functions as a combined fitness trainer, sleep coach, and wellness advisor, integrating real-time data from Fitbit and Pixel Watches, as well as compatible devices like smart weight scales and glucose monitors. Set to preview in October as part of Fitbit Premium, the coach creates personalized fitness routines based on user goals, preferences, and available equipment, dynamically adjusting workout plans in response to factors such as sleep quality and injuries. The AI coach also offers advanced sleep analysis, providing insights to improve sleep quality and personalized recommendations on optimal sleep duration tailored to daily activity levels. Users can interact with the coach to receive science-backed advice on health questions, such as balancing sleep and exercise or selecting effective workouts for weight loss. This feature will be embedded in a redesigned Fitbit app that emphasizes coaching and AI, featuring enhanced data visualization, improved syncing, and dark mode. Additionally, Google has enlisted NBA star Stephen Curry as a performance advisor
