Smart wearables are increasingly incorporating AI to provide users with personalized health insights, and Oura is taking this trend to the next level. The company's AI-powered health assistant, which has been in beta testing for months, is now officially available to all Oura Ring users worldwide.
From Experimental Feature to Permanent Addition
Oura Advisor has graduated from the company's experimental Oura Labs program to become a permanent feature in the Oura app. Starting today, all Oura app subscribers can access this AI health coach, which leverages the biometric data collected by the smart ring to provide personalized guidance and answer health-related questions. This marks the second feature to successfully transition from Oura Labs to the main app, following Symptom Radar, a tool designed to detect potential illness by tracking bodily strain.
Enhanced Capabilities Through AI
The official release comes with several significant improvements to the AI assistant's functionality. Oura Advisor now boasts improved memory capabilities, allowing it to recall previous conversations and make connections about user trends and behaviors. This persistent memory helps the AI provide more personalized and contextually relevant advice over time. The assistant can also now access and analyze long-term health data, identifying patterns that might not be obvious to users on a day-to-day basis.
Visual Insights and Adaptive Communication
One of the most notable upgrades is the addition of data visualizations like graphs and charts, making it easier for users to understand their health metrics and long-term trends. The AI has also been designed with an adaptive tone that adjusts based on user feedback and responses, creating a more natural conversational experience rather than feeling robotic. This personalization extends to the AI's ability to generate relevant topics for discussion even when users aren't actively engaging with it.
Key Features of Oura Advisor:
- Long-term trend analysis with visual representations
- Adaptive conversation tone based on user interaction
- Memory of previous conversations for personalized guidance
- Proactive topic generation even when not in active use
- Available globally on iOS and Android (English only)
User Engagement and Practical Applications
During beta testing, Oura found that the Advisor feature was highly engaging, with 60% of users interacting with the assistant multiple times per week and 20% using it daily. The same percentage reported that the AI helped them better understand their health metrics. The tool transforms complex biometric data into actionable insights and practical advice, addressing everything from sleep patterns to activity levels and nutrition.

Real-World Health Guidance
The AI health coach does more than just interpret numbers—it provides contextual advice for real-life situations. For instance, users can discuss concerns about maintaining healthy habits during social occasions, and the Advisor offers balanced guidance that acknowledges the importance of both physical well-being and social enjoyment. This holistic approach to health recognizes that wellness encompasses multiple aspects of life beyond just physical metrics.
Availability and Language Support
Oura Advisor is now available globally in the Oura app for both iOS and Android users. Currently, the feature is only available in English, though the company may expand language support in the future. This launch represents Oura's continued commitment to developing AI-driven health tools that make complex biometric data more accessible and actionable for everyday users.
