I’m relieved Siri AI isn’t trying to be a health coach
The author is relieved that Siri AI is not trying to be a health coach, as the concept of AI health coaches is becoming overwhelming. Apple's approach to health features is more subtle, allowing users to track their metrics and trends without being told what to do with the data. The author notes that other companies, such as Google and Fitbit, are heavily promoting AI-powered health features, which can be seen as overly aggressive.
- ▪Apple's Health app and Apple Watch allow users to track various metrics, such as steps, workouts, and sleep quality.
- ▪Google is promoting the Google Health Coach as a primary selling point for the new Fitbit Air.
- ▪Other health tech companies, such as Oura and Whoop, are also adding AI-powered features to their platforms.
