I Was Wrong About Workout Buddy, Apple's AI Coaching Vision Is Just Getting Started

I wasn't exactly sold on the idea of having a "buddy" cheering me on during a workout when Apple first announced its Workout Buddy feature in WatchOS 26. The workout partner I had in mind was more of a no-nonsense trainer; someone to push me out of my comfort zone and into peak performance. Apple's version, instead, is an AI-powered voice that dishes out praise as you run (or as you do any number of activities). But after testing it myself and talking in-depth with Apple about how it works, I'm

I Underestimated Workout Buddy. Apple's Playing the Long Game for AI Coaching

I didn't think I needed a "buddy" to cheer me on during a workout when Apple first announced its new Workout Buddy feature in WatchOS 26. Despite it being an AI-powered voice that extols you with positive feedback as you run (or as you do any number of activities), I was envisioning a non-nonsense trainer that would push me out of my comfort zone and into peak performance. But after testing it myself and talking in-depth with Apple about how it works, I'm starting to think the company undersold

Apple's Workout Buddy Is Friendly, but What if It Could Adopt Other Personalities?

We all have different ways of motivating ourselves to exercise, so when Apple announced Workout Buddy for the Apple Watch at WWDC 2025, it made us think about what sorts of verbal encouragement would spur us to complete our workouts. We couldn't help but imagine the different types of future Workout Buddies -- and how they might help, cajole or even bargain with us to hit our fitness goals. Workout Buddy in WatchOS 26 will be available at the outset in eight workouts (such as running and cyclin

I Want Workout Buddy to Be More Boot Camp Trainer Than Cheerleader on the Apple Watch

I was expecting, and hoping, Apple would launch some kind of AI-powered health feature on the Apple Watch at WWDC 2025, but Workout Buddy wasn't exactly what I had in mind. I'm the kind of person who spoils any and all surprises by reading the last page of a good mystery novel, or the finale synopsis of a Netflix whodunit before I've even gotten through the pilot. So I went into WWDC, Apple's annual developers conference, having read all the rumors, feeling pretty confident that I knew most of
