After getting the Fitbit Air tracker, the one question that comes to your mind is whether the premium subscription on the Google Fitbit app is necessary, or if it’s really worth it, and whether you should actually pay for it.
So in my case, when I tried it, it cost around a hundred dollars. However, the tracker comes with three months of subscription, so you can try it out to understand its features.
Now many of you want to know about the premium subscription and the features it provides, so in this blog post, I am going to tell you everything I have tried.

In the Google Health app, you’ll see a premium subscription option for the Fitbit Air fitness tracking band, and with this, you will get a few features which are related to AI. Let me tell you about them one by one.
It comes with a bunch of AI snippets:
- You’ll get a chatbot where you can ask questions or even chat with it.
- You can log food, basically describe it in the chat, and the AI will essentially log that for you.
- In the Fitness tab, you can also ask it to create a custom workout for you.

What is the AI snippet, and is it useful?
The AI snippet feature is not that useful at all, in my opinion. In fact, it’s nothing but basic AI, which appears pretty much after any action.
It actually gives you data, but that doesn’t really say much, nothing important that would enhance your life in any real way.
In fact, I actually find this AI snippet feature very annoying because it clutters all my app screens, as they appear way too frequently and simply do not offer real value, in my opinion.
What about the Ai chatbot feature?
I personally believe this chatbot thing is nothing much, simply good for asking questions, and it’s very similar to a Gemini assistant or ChatGPT.
So, like any free chat, it gives you essentially the same result. It just sprinkles some of your data inside, and it actually feels a little bit personalized.
But yes, when it comes to value, I’m not finding it so great at all, as I have tried it a few times and it doesn’t really do much. Although the best thing I would say is it simply logs your food data.
If you care about your food tracking, then you can simply ask it to log this stuff for you, and that will be useful for you. Other than that, I didn’t find the chatbot much useful.

AI workout creation feature
In this tracking band, the premium feature also provides AI workout creation. Inside that, it does the same kind of thing as workout tracking. I mean, workout creation, again, this feature is very generic in nature.
Instead of using this AI workout creation, you can create your own workout program, and that will do the same job for you. So the AI workout creation is also not useful at all.
Conclusion
In my opinion, I think the tracker is absolutely fantastic because it provides you all the features that are required, and you don’t have to buy any subscription for these features. This comes free with it, like tracking everything is for free.
But if you are someone who doesn’t want to do things manually, like logging your food data, and wants to converse with the AI chatbot, then this premium might work for you.
But at least for me, I can use everything on this tracker without any problem and even without paying anything, I mean, without any premium subscription. The free features are best in daily life, and this is the beauty of this fitness tracker, I guess.
