Google Health uses a chatbot-like interface to give you advice based on your biometric data.
Google has put its Gemini AI into seemingly as many of its products as it can. So when I see something like “Gemini is down,” my mind goes to all of the Google products that have integrated the AI system over the past few years.
Today’s issue isn’t widespread; according to Google, it’s affecting only Workspace users. I checked my Google Health app, which is what the old Fitbit app has become, and had a conversation with the chatbot there about why the fact that I feel like I’m coming down with a cold isn’t showing up in my biometric data. Was this helpful information? As Gemini told me, I shouldn’t trust it for medical advice, so not really. But it did generate responses.
As companies like Google integrate AI into more and more of their products, it does create another potential source of breakage.
