Google is releasing a subscription AI health coach powered by Gemini for $9.99 per month starting May 19. The service combines fitness coaching, sleep expertise, and general wellness guidance in a single tool.

The Gemini-powered health coach will serve as a personalized advisor across three core areas: fitness training, sleep optimization, and broader health and wellness support. The $9.99 monthly price positions the service as an accessible alternative to premium fitness apps and personal coaching. Google joins competitors like Apple and Amazon in expanding AI-powered health services. The coach will leverage Gemini's capabilities to provide real-time guidance and adapt recommendations based on user input. Specific features and integration points with other Google services remain under wraps ahead of the May 19 launch. Google's move reflects the tech industry's broader push into health and wellness as a growth category. The service targets users seeking affordable, AI-driven health guidance without committing to expensive personal trainers or premium subscriptions.
