You could set a goal like &#8220;I want to be able to run without getting out of breath&#8221; rather than setting a steps target, for example.<\/p>\n<p>You still get all your key stats, but there&#8217;s AI commentary alongside it \u2013 celebrating goals, suggesting next steps, and more. You can then ask questions about the data you&#8217;ve logged, workout plans, ongoing trends, or whatever you like.<\/p>\n<p>A redesign for the app comes alongside all this extra AI, to fit everything in on screen \u2013 which looks a bit overwhelming at first. The new Today tab is front and center, combining key metrics with personalized AI feedback on your recent activity levels and sleep.<\/p>\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Google says there might be some &#8220;rough edges&#8221; in the preview, and is inviting feedback from users on what works and what doesn&#8217;t.
