100-word summary
Oura just launched its own AI model trained specifically on women's physiology, replacing the generic chatbots most health apps still use. The system lives inside Oura Advisor and combines your ring's biometric data with vetted medical research to answer questions about fertility, cycle changes, or menopause symptoms. Ask why your sleep tanked mid-cycle, and it'll pull patterns from months of data to suggest talking points for your doctor. It's opt-in testing for now, hosted on Oura's servers so your conversations won't train someone else's AI. The shift matters because most health AI still treats bodies as generic, when hormones alone create wildly different baselines.
