Remember that AI personal health coach that promised to act as a trainer and wellness advisor called Fitbit AI Health Coach? Well, Google just took it global.

Launched in October 2025 as a public preview for the U.S. Fitbit Premium users, the AI-powered personal health coach is now expanding to more countries, including the U.K., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore.

From U.S. exclusivity to global coverage

The rollout is still in English and remains in “public preview” status, implying that Google is collecting data and feedback to improve the feature before a broader release.

So, if you’re willing to pay for the Fitbit Premium subscription, you can now access the health assistant even outside of the U.S. What’s more interesting is the fact that the feature built into the Fitbit ecosystem is now available for iPhone users; yes, that’s absolutely right.

It’s quite ironic that Google has made its Fitbit AI Health Coach available for iPhone users even before Apple could release its own AI-based health assistant, reportedly called Health+.

A redesigned app to match the AI ambition

As for what the Fitbit’s AI assistant offers, it relies on Gemini AI to analyze all your fitness-related data (collected by wearables or your smartphone) and presents it in an easy-to-understand manner, along with actionable insights.

If that doesn’t sound quite interesting, the AI assistant can also have conversations about your health, help you set personalized fitness goals, provide customized workout recommendations, offer sleep analysis/coaching, and other wellness guidance, along with answering your questions.

Along with rolling out its health assistant to a wider audience, Google has also redesigned the Fitbit app, which now features the AI coach at its core. The interface includes a refreshed Today tab and dedicated Fitness, Sleep, and Health tabs.

Beyond aesthetics, the app redesign also improved data visualization, syncing, and overall usability, making it easier to understand your activity, sleep, and wellness habits.
