- A new AI coach is heading to Fitbit Premium users
- Some US users on Android are now seeing the update
- Additional AI features offer insights, advice, and more.
Google recently promised new Fitbit devices for next year, but an app update is currently available for Fitbit users that brings personalized fitness, sleep, and wellness coaching through Gemini AI.
According to Google, the update is coming first to Fitbit Premium users in the US on Android devices, with an expansion coming soon for iOS. It also qualifies as a 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 coming in stages. So even if you’re in the US, using the Android app, and signed up for Fitbit Premium, it might be a while before you get these new features.
Essentially, the extras you add to the app are similar to discussions you may have already had about your fitness with Gemini. The AI will look at your stats and come up with some ideas for setting goals and making improvements.
How it works
Look on it
With Gemini AI integrated into the Fitbit app, everything can be more conversational. You can set a goal like “I want to be able to run without getting out of breath” rather than setting a step goal, for example.
You still get all your key stats, but there’s AI commentary alongside – 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.
An app redesign comes with all this extra AI, to fit everything onto the screen – which seems a bit overwhelming at first. The new Today tab is front and center, combining key metrics with personalized AI feedback on your recent activity levels and sleep.
Google says there might be some “rough edges” in the preview and invites users to provide feedback on what works and what doesn’t. For the moment, it is still possible to switch between the new and old interface of the application with a few clicks.
