TL;DR Google’s Gemini-powered Fitbit Personal Health Coach lands as a public preview on October 28.
The preview is available for Fitbit Premium users with a Pixel Watch or Fitbit device (Android first).
The tool offers AI-driven guidance on fitness, sleep, and health through a chat interface.
Google is officially putting health-focused AI to work on users’ wrists. Beginning October 28, the company will open a public preview of its Gemini-powered Fitbit Personal Health Coach for Fitbit Premium users in the US. The feature was first announced in August, when Google launched the Pixel Watch 4. It uses Gemini’s conversational smarts to blend fitness training, sleep analysis, and general health advice into a single chat-based experience.
Rather than simply a new feature, the rollout represents a test drive of Google’s broader vision of personalized wellness, coinciding with a complete Fitbit app overhaul. The app’s redesigned interface divides everything into four tabs: Today, Fitness, Sleep, and Health, and shifts the focus from daily streaks to long-term progress. Users can zoom out to view weekly trends, customize “Focus Metrics,” and move seamlessly between activity, recovery, and overall health data.
The new Gemini-powered health coach arrives alongside a completely redesigned Fitbit app.
Meanwhile, a new “Ask Coach” button appears throughout the app, offering quick access to Gemini for advice or plan adjustments. Google says nearly every screen invites feedback with thumbs-up or thumbs-down icons, underscoring that this preview is as much about testing as tweaking.
