Google Is Coming For Your Fitness App (And It's a GOOD Thing)

The hardware and software powering your fitness wearable are splitting apart and a whole ecosystem of tools has been quietly filling that gap.

And now the question is whether they just ended the whole movement before it went mainstream ... or accelerated it. This video maps out where fitness software actually stands right now: why your brand app's AI is more limited than you think, what the third-party tools are already doing, and what Google's entry into this space actually means for athletes.
