Google Rebrands Fitness App With AI-Powered Health Coach

Introducing Google Health

Google introduced a rebranded version of its Fitbit app under the new name Google Health as part of its broader expansion in digital health services. The launch coincides with the release of the Fitbit Air, a screenless fitness tracker designed for continuous health monitoring.

Advancing Personalized Fitness With Gemini AI

Integration of the Gemini AI platform into Google Health introduces an AI-powered health coach available through Google Health Premium. Users receive recommendations related to exercise, sleep, nutrition and wellness based on activity and health data. Public testing of the feature began last year, with updates shaped through user feedback and expanded functionality.

Integrated Features For Holistic Wellness

Multiple forms of health tracking are combined within a single platform, including activity monitoring, sleep analysis, nutrition tracking, cycle tracking and medical record integration for eligible users in the United States. During onboarding, users can specify health goals, available equipment and lifestyle preferences to personalise recommendations. Voice input and file uploads also allow workouts, meals and health records to be logged directly through the platform.

Seamless Device Integration And Future Expansion

Initial availability of Google Health Coach is limited to selected Fitbit and Pixel Watch users, with broader device support expected later. Pricing is set at $9.99 per month or $99 annually, while subscribers to Google AI Pro and Ultra receive access at no additional cost.

A Unified Approach To Digital Health

Recent developments reflect broader efforts across the technology sector to combine wearable devices, AI systems and health analytics into integrated wellness platforms. Expansion of the Google Health ecosystem signals continued investment in personalized, data-driven health services.

A New Twitter-Inspired Social Network Is Taking Shape

August 27, 2026

A new social network called Twitter.now is entering the market, with a founding team that includes former Twitter trademark counsel Stephen Coates. The service is being developed by startup Operation Bluebird.

As Ars Technica reported, X sued the company last year and asked a Delaware judge to block the launch. Operation Bluebird argued in a petition that X had abandoned trademarks including “Twitter” and “Tweet.”

Coates has said the project is not an attempt to recreate the original Twitter. In a LinkedIn post, he described the platform as a new public space focused on trust, transparency and user choice.

AI System To Rate Posts

Twitter.now is currently being tested, with early access priced at $20. Its main feature is VERA, an AI system designed to evaluate posts, verify claims and provide sources and context.

Posts receive a trust score, with users eventually able to set a minimum score to filter their feeds. The company says this approach will give people more control over what they see instead of leaving those decisions entirely to an algorithm.

Moderation Remains A Challenge

Scaling moderation will be one of the platform’s biggest tests. Social networks have repeatedly struggled with content moderation as their communities grow, and newer platforms such as Bluesky have faced similar criticism.

Operation Bluebird says VERA will form the basis of its moderation and verification system. A second version is already planned, with expanded tools that would let users set a specific trust threshold for the posts appearing in their feeds.

For now, Twitter.now remains in an early testing phase, combining the familiarity of the Twitter name with an AI-driven approach to evaluating online information.
