At its Made by Google event on Wednesday, the company announced a new AI-powered personal health coach built with Gemini that’s coming to Fitbit. The tech giant says the new personal health coach is a fitness trainer, sleep coach, and wellness advisor all in one.
Google plans to roll out a preview of the personal health coach as part of Fitbit Premium in October in the redesigned app available with the latest Fitbit trackers, Fitbit smart watches, and Pixel Watches.
The personal health coach learns your preferences as you share them and also takes your real-time metrics from your Fitbit or Pixel Watch into account. Plus, it can get information from a smart weight scale or glucose monitor.
With the new AI coach, users will be able to create a custom routine after chatting about their goals, preferences, and equipment. The AI coach will then build a personalized fitness plan with workout suggestions and targets. As you do your workouts, the coach will adjust your workout plans based on real-time data and insights in order to help you meet your goals.
For example, if you wake up with a low readiness score because of a night of insomnia, the coach will suggest changes to your weekly plan to help you recover.
If life gets in the way of your weekly plans, you can connect with the AI coach to adjust your plans and get advice. For example, if you hurt your back, you can tell the coach to adjust your workout.
In addition, the AI coach will look at your sleep and give insights into how to improve your sleep quality over time. Google notes that new advanced algorithms will allow the AI coach to better understand a user’s sleep duration and stages. The AI coach will also help users determine how much sleep they actually need in order to perform their best by creating a personalized schedule that adapts to their daily activity levels.

Google notes that users can ask the AI coach to get personalized, science-backed answers. For example, they can ask things like, “Should I get an extra hour of sleep or work out tomorrow?” or “What are the best exercises for weight loss?”
The new AI coach will live in the redesigned Fitbit app, which Google says has been reimagined with coaching and AI at its core. The redesigned app includes more intuitive data visualization, improved syncing, dark mode, and more.
Google also announced on Wednesday that it’s bringing on NBA star Stephen Curry as a “performance advisor” to provide feedback for the tech giant’s products.
