Google Coach may be an AI assistant to help you get fit with your Wear OS watch

null


Google Fit doesn't seem to be working well enough for Google's liking in Wear OS watches, so the company is rumored to be working on an updated assistant for fitness that comes with AI inside.
A new leak from sources speaking to Android Police claims the updated version will may be called Google Coach - that name could change before launch - and it's set to leverage the company's AI capabilities into advice for individual users.
For example, Google Coach will be able to take your previous fitness data and recommend alternative ideas when you've missed a workout or track your progress over time for feedback on how to improve.
This is set to launch for Wear OS watch owners at first - it may even be a big selling point for the rumored Google Pixel Watch - but it'll also come to phone devices in a more limited capacity.

Not just working out

This isn't just for exercise through - the report claims it'll be able to help you with nutrition as well as recommend recipes and food ideas for you by providing a meal plan as well as a shopping list for what you'll need.
If you're at a restaurant and Google knows your meal habits, it may be able to give you a notification to say you should eat a particular meal while you're there so you won't even need to look at the menu. 
This could be particularly useful for people with more specialist dietary requirements. 
Think this all sounds like too many notifications to your watch or phone? Google thinks the same, so the report says it'll be made into a conversational feature within an app rather than bombarding you with things to your wrist.
That likely means you'll have to actively use the Google Coach feature to get the most from it. That may sound like a hassle, but the benefits of the artificial intelligence tech could offer a service that's part of your favorite fitness app, part MyFitnessPal and part Google restaurants recommendations all in one place.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market. Unlike typical image editors that allow you to remove red eye or apply a filter, Pixaloop allows you to create stunning photo animations with a few clicks on your
