AI Personal Trainer: How It Works and Objectives
The new assistant Combines a fitness coach, a sleep coach, and a health and wellness advisor into one tool.Using Gemini's AI as its foundation, the system generates personalized training plans that adjust in real time to your progress, habits, and limitations.
