Google's $9.99-per-month AI health coach launches May 19 | TechCrunch

https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/07/googles-9-99-per-month-ai-health-coach-launches-may-19/

"The Gemini-powered health coach will act as a combination fitness coach, sleep expert, and health and wellness advisor."

$10 a month feels steep to me, but there's other health plans like Whoop and stuff. Bevel is one that is device agnostic. I'm guessing this is why Google killed the Fitbit but I don't have crazy faith in Google maintaining things.

Yeah at that price it really looks like it will end up in the grave with the rest of the google crap soon enough.

They're going to kill people. Maybe slowly, maybe quickly, but they will kill people.

Evolution always finds a way...

Isn't that the point?

When you don't have access to a doctor, due to lack of insurance and/or lack of time (off from work), urgent care is closed, the ER will probably cost well over $1000 (if you are lucky enough to have insurance) that you may not have to tell you that it's "just an(other) anxiety attack"...

The system is built to kill people. Not this system...the system. Google is finally getting their cut.

You know what's healthy? Not wasting 10 bucks a month for a chatbot to tell you dubious unverifable health tips.

Why would anyone still givetheir personal health data, of all things, to google, and pay for the privilege of being ripped off? Are you insane or just living under a rock?

Fuck Google

10$ a month to access the equivalent of deepseek, or any of the other models?

Yea I don't know about that one.

Plus liability wise that is a nightmare. Surprised they had the audacity to do it.

I guess having the dashboard is cool... but I doubt this model will be very different compared to normal gemini
