Back in March, Google revealed that Fitbit would launch a Gemini-powered AI health assistant – and it’s started to roll out.
The new service – Insight Explorer – enables users to ask questions about their workouts and health. Insight Explorer is currently in public testing via Fitbit Labs.
Users in the U.S. can participate if they meet specific criteria, including being 18 or older and using the Fitbit app on Android.
You need a Fitbit Premium subscription, but that’s not enough: Labs is only available to select users right now, with no open criteria for being selected.

Examples of questions you can ask are:
- What was my average daily step count last month?”
- “How are my Active Zone Minutes trending?”
- “How did my bedtime differ on weekends versus weekdays last month?”
- “Do my Active Zone Minutes have an impact on my resting heart rate?”
- “What day did I sleep the longest last month?”
- “What is the median number of steps I have taken this year?”
- “When was my most restful night of sleep last month?”
Wareable says
Pretty much every service has some kind of AI chatbot that can return these kinds of queries, so it’s not too groundbreaking that Google and Fitbit have rolled out the same.
Whoop’s LLM is based on ChatGPT – and can be used by subscribers to ask these sorts of questions. It’s pretty useful, and I’ve used it to get a feel for how my data compares over the long term. Asking it what your average bedtime is can be eye-opening.
One might ask why it’s taken Google and Fitbit so long as the owner and proprietor of Gemini – and what makes its service special?
We’d like to see someone use AI for real health insights, presented at the right time, and in the right way. We’re looking forward to seeing if Google can achieve anything like that with this Insight Explorer feature.
