AI Coach: A Rocky Start

• Day One Struggles
• Trouble recognizing Pixel Watch 4, confusing it with Pixel Watch 2.
• Fixes Rolled In
• Better text editing.
• Improved strength workout interfaces.

Exercise Library: A Mixed Experience

• Pros
• Huge library with some unusual and oddly worded exercises.
• Cons
• Missing some common exercises.
• AI remembers too much, pushing unwanted plans (e.g., 5K improvement despite focus on strength training).

Running Workouts: A Hassle

• Issues with the App
• Difficult to follow workouts on the watch.
• AI struggled with basic math, messing up workout times.
• Goal Setting Problems
• AI had trouble understanding and adjusting goals.
• Lacked advice on setting realistic goals or long-term planning.
• Conclusion: AI needs improvement to match a human coach's expertise.
