Meet Lola, the talking AI mutt that prepares you to be a real pupper parent

The future of talking bots is here, and it goes by the name Lola.

Okay, Lola won't answer all of your general questions and set reminders like Alexa. But it could hint at talking bots to come that will focus on narrower, more specific tasks. 

The AI mutt is meant to prepare people for dog ownership before they actually get their hands on a pup. Victor Vetancourt, an associate creative director at Dieste, created Lola using the API.AI tool. He and his business partner Leirum Rivas wrote almost all of the dialogue.
