Made by Google 2025: Fitbit, Gemini Live, and Google Photos Updates

Today, Google announced a new generation of Pixel devices. But Made by Google 2025 wasn’t just about new hardware: The company also announced a wide range of new software and services to accompany those devices, with improvements across Fitbit, Gemini Live, and Google Photos.

Fitbit

Fitbit announced a new Gemini-powered personal health coach that will ship in October in preview to Fitbit Premium subscribers, alongside a new version of the Fitbit app. It will work with the latest Fitbit trackers, Fitbit smart watches, and Pixel Watches.

“Our new AI-powered personal health coach is a fitness trainer, a sleep coach, and a health and wellness advisor, all working together to help you be your best, whether that means maximizing performance on the court, in the office, or at home with family,” Fitbit head of product Andy Abramson explains. “It constantly adapts based on your personal health and wellness metrics and is uniquely tailored to your goals and real-life circumstances.”

The Fitbit personal health coach will offer custom routines, data-based workouts, real-time check-ins and adjustments, new sleep algorithms, sleep quality insights, and adaptive sleep schedules. And it will provide a holistic view of your health and wellness.

If you’re an adult living in the U.S. and are interested in this feature–and a completely redesigned Fitbit app that, yes, supports Dark mode–you can sign up to be notified when the preview is live.

Gemini Live

Gemini Live is a set of features for the Gemini AI assistant that help it to understand the world around you. It was launched last year at Made for Google 2024 alongside the Pixel 9 series, and it has since evolved with support for new languages, countries, and several new features. And now it’s getting additional functionality:

On-screen guidance. Now, when you share your camera view with Gemini Live, it provides visual guidance by highlighting things directly on-screen. “Can’t decide between two pairs of sneakers?” Google writes. “Gemini can see them both and highlight the one that best matches the outfit you’re envisioning. Or maybe you’re trying to figure out the correct tool to use. Point your camera at your toolbox, and Gemini can point out the right one.”

More app connections. Gemini already integrates with Google Calendar, Google Maps, Google Tasks, and Google Keep, but Google will soon add support for the Phone, Messages, and Clock apps on Pixel, and add additional features for Google Maps.

Improved speech. Google is launching model updates that will dramatically improve the speech quality in Gemini Live with better intonation, rhythm, and pitch, leading to more responsive and expressive conversations.

Google Photos

Users with Pixel 10 family devices will be the first to get two new Google Photos features, Ask to Edit and C2PA Content Credential support.

“We’re making it unbelievably easy to quickly edit your images in Google Photos: just ask Photos to edit your pictures for you,” Google’s Selena Shang writes. “Coming first to Pixel 10 in the U.S., you can simply describe the edits you want to make by text or voice in Photos’ editor, and watch the changes appear.”

These new conversational editing capabilities work on top of the existing editing functionality in Google Photos, but they don’t require you to fiddle with small on-screen sliders and other controls.

“Because this is an open-ended, conversational experience, you don’t have to indicate which tools you want to use,” Shang continues. “For example, you could ask for a specific edit, like ‘remove the cars in the background’ or something more general like ‘“’restore this old photo’ and Photos will understand the changes you’re trying to make. You can even make multiple requests in a single prompt like ‘remove the reflections and fix the washed out colors.’ And if you truly have no idea where to start, you can just start by typing or saying, ‘make it better’ or using one of the provided suggestions. Then if you want to make tweaks, you can add follow-up instructions after each edit to fine-tune your image and get it looking just right.

Pixel 10 devices will also be the first to implement the C2PA Content Credentials standard in its Camera app, and across photos created by Pixel Camera, with and without AI. This builds on top of existing support for IPTC metadata for AI-edited images and SynthID for images edited with Reimagine. And it will roll out to Google Photos on Android and iPhone in the coming weeks.
