AI fitness features often feel generic, summarizing the obvious and offering tips anyone could Google. But Fitbit’s new AI-powered personal health coach is different. With real-time adaptability and personalized guidance, it sparks curiosity and engagement like never before.
“We really want to move towards this world of coaching,” says Andy Abramson, Google’s director of product management for Fitbit and Health. Professional athletes rely on full teams to craft their fitness plans. “We asked ourselves, what if everyone could have something like this?”
Personalized Coaching Tailored to You
Fitbit’s AI coach, powered by Gemini and embedded in the redesigned Fitbit app (now with sleek dark mode!), delivers customized weekly routines and detailed workout targets based on your personal goals. It adjusts automatically to your real-time data—after a rough night’s sleep, your next workout is recalibrated. You can also update the coach on illness, injury, or new objectives, and it will adapt accordingly. Positive trends, like improved sleep quality, are highlighted to keep you motivated.
Turning Data Into Actionable Insights
Fitbit’s AI health coach addresses a common wearable challenge: too much data with little context. By transforming raw numbers into actionable guidance, it offers a smarter, more intuitive way to stay on top of your health and fitness goals.
