How to fix your AI coach's conversations

I've noticed a lot of people complaining that it's a bit too much encouragement, or too much conversation. I remembered I did this with my Gemini app.

How long does it take to actually update these preferences? Does it happen right away, or do you have to tell it several times to tone it way down? The level of enthusiasm and positivity is...overbearing, to say the least. Not to mention how loooong each bit of feedback is. I'm trying to get it down to just the stats

@amymurray122 I noticed an improvement right away. It still talks quite a bit, but significantly less.

The last summary it gave me: 

Even on a scheduled rest day, your 38-minute walk covering 1.66 miles is a smart move. Staying entirely in the Light heart rate zone shows excellent active recovery, contributing to your 'Boost activity burn' goal without adding extra stress. This is how you consistently build your overall activity and support your body recomposition.

I'm going to tell it to tone down even a little bit more. And see what changes I get for tomorrow. I don't mind a summary, just I don't need to be told how amazing my left foot and right foot are with each stride that I take

My dog woke me up last night screaming bloody murder and long story short I took an impromptu 15 minute lap of the block in subfreezing temps looking for the lost dog she'd spotted from the window and scared off. I didn't find him (his owner did) but Coach titled the recap "Nourishing act of recovery" and called my 130a excursion a "wonderful act of self care" that "perfectly aligned with my focus of healing [from a sinus issue I'd mentioned last week]" and explained that keeping my effort in the Light heart rate zone for 13 minutes indicated that I was expertly listening to my body while navigating my health issues. 

I'm pretty sure there's nothing I could do it wouldn't praise

@followingsea yeah, I asked my coach why it's still being overly enthusiastic on the today page. It said it cannot control the summaries or briefings on the today page. Only the direct conversations. 

I hope that changes soon
