Fitbit is rolling out a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature designed to provide users with deeper insights into their health and fitness data. Announced on Tuesday, the Google-owned wearable brand is initially making the feature available to a limited number of users. Those who are eligible can find the new tool, called “Insights Explorer,” within the ‘You tab’ of the Fitbit app. Powered by Gemini, Google’s native large language model (LLM), Insights Explorer aims to offer a conversational experience for users to better understand the data collected by their Fitbit devices.
Fitbit’s AI Integration: What You Need to Know
The introduction of Insights Explorer is part of Fitbit’s ongoing efforts to enhance the user experience. Last year, the Fitbit app underwent a significant redesign, focusing on simplicity and ease of use. The app’s interface was divided into three main tabs: Today, Coach, and You. The You tab contains detailed user data and graphs, allowing users to access their health information quickly. It’s also where users can sign up for Fitbit Labs, a hub for testing new and experimental features.
Insights Explorer: A Conversational Approach to Data Analysis
As the first feature to be released under Fitbit Labs, Insights Explorer is available exclusively to users who have previously signed up for the service. Once users are selected, they must opt-in to access the feature. With the help of Gemini, Insights Explorer allows users to chat with the tool and gain more meaningful insights from their health data.
For example, the feature can offer explanations on how various activities, such as exercise, can impact other aspects of health, like sleep quality. It may also provide charts and visualizations that help users understand the connections between different data points.
What We Know (and Don’t Know) About Insights Explorer
While Fitbit has shared some exciting details about Insights Explorer, many questions remain unanswered. For instance, it’s not yet clear whether the tool will support follow-up questions or generate different types of charts and graphs. Additionally, there is no confirmation on whether the conversational experience will include two-way speech capabilities like those found in Gemini Live.
More AI Features Coming Soon
Fitbit has indicated that Insights Explorer is just the beginning. The company is planning to release more AI-powered features in the near future to further enhance the capabilities of its wearables and help users make sense of their health and fitness data.
How to Access the New AI Feature
Currently, Insights Explorer is rolling out to select users who have previously signed up for Fitbit Labs. Eligible users will be notified and prompted to opt-in to try out the feature. Feedback from these early users will be crucial for refining the tool before a broader rollout.
