- A new AI trainer comes to Fitbit Premium users
- Some American Android users are now seeing the update
- Additional AI features offer insight, advice and more
Google recently promised new Fitbit devices for next year, but right now an app update is available for Fitbit users that brings personalized fitness, sleep, and wellness coaching through Gemini AI.
According to Google, the update will first come to Fitbit Premium users in the US on Android devices, and will soon expand to iOS. It is also being labeled as Public Preview; In other words, it’s still a work in progress.
Some Reddit users are now starting to see the update, although it’s clearly rolling out in stages, so even if you’re in the US, using the Android app, and signing up for Fitbit Premium, it may be a while before you get these new features.
Basically, the extras added to the app are similar to the fitness chats you may have already had with Gemini. The AI will take a look at your stats and come up with some ideas for setting goals and making improvements.
how it works
Look
With Gemini AI integrated into the Fitbit app, everything can be more conversational. You could set a goal like “I want to be able to run without getting out of breath” instead of setting a step goal, for example.
You still get all your key stats, but there’s AI commentary alongside them: celebrating goals, suggesting next steps, and more. You can then ask questions about the data you’ve recorded, training plans, current trends, or whatever you want.
A redesign of the app comes along with all this additional AI, to fit everything on the screen, which seems a little overwhelming at first. The new Today tab is front and center, combining key metrics with personalized AI feedback on your recent activity and sleep levels.
Google says there could be some “roughnesses” in the preview and is asking for user feedback on what works and what doesn’t. At the moment, it’s still possible to switch between new and old app interfaces with a few taps.
