Fitbit has launched a public preview of its new AI-powered personal health coach, built with Gemini, for eligible Fitbit Premium users in the U.S. Starting tomorrow, users on Android will be able to access the feature, with iOS support coming soon. The health coach is designed to act as a personalized fitness trainer, sleep coach, and wellness advisor, all working together to help users achieve their health goals. The preview phase allows Fitbit to gather feedback and refine the experience before a broader rollout. The coach begins with a brief 5-10 minute conversation—via text or voice—where users share their motivations and goals. The more information provided, the better the coach can tailor plans. Users can skip this step and return later. Key features in the preview include: Today (light and dark mode): Offers timely insights at key moments—such as upon waking, after a workout, or before bed. Fitness: Tracks weekly progress, displays personalized plans, and monitors core metrics like cardio load. Sleep: Provides in-depth analysis of sleep quality, consistency, and trends using Fitbit’s most accurate tracking yet. Health: Serves as a central hub for vital signs and other key health data, including HRV and weight. Ask Coach: A dedicated button lets users get instant advice anytime. Users can interact with the coach in multiple ways. For fitness, they can set goals—like running a 10K in three months—or ask for workout suggestions tailored to their environment and equipment. For example, “Create a 30-minute upper body workout I can do in my hotel room” or “Suggest a routine using just 20lb dumbbells and resistance bands.” The coach can also adjust plans based on injuries or schedule changes. For sleep, users can ask for explanations behind poor sleep, receive personalized wind-down routines, and explore trends. They can compare their sleep quality to similar users and uncover connections between factors like cardio load and sleep depth. In the health section, the coach helps users prepare for doctor visits, understand nutrition, and learn about conditions like prediabetes or menopause. It can explain health metrics, show data trends, and provide a full health summary upon request. Fitbit emphasizes that the coach is secure, science-backed, and designed with user privacy in mind. While the preview version may have limitations, the company promises regular updates and improvements based on user feedback. Users are encouraged to join the community forum for updates on new features. Fitbit aims to make health management more accessible and personalized, helping people live longer, healthier lives.
