The new public preview features cover two main categories: Coaching & Workouts and Sleep, with additional updates planned for the future. For Coaching & Workouts, four new features have been introduced: fitness coach recommendations, step-by-step workout execution, coaching messages in the “Today” tab, and conversational check-ins.
