Personal health coach in the redesigned Fitbit app
The Fitbit app has been reimagined with coaching and AI at its core. The entire app was rebuilt so the health coach can understand your goals, build your plan, contextualize your metrics, and bring insights at the right moments. A number of improvements have been made that address common user suggestions like more intuitive data visualization, easier layouts to find information, improved syncing, and, of course, dark mode.

Google will begin rolling out a preview of personal health coach in October as part of Fitbit Premium in the redesigned app available with the latest Fitbit trackers, Fitbit smart watches, and Pixel Watches.
