This week, Travis and Stewart discuss the latest A.I. startups, including Replika - a spin-off of the Luka bot that creates a "digital ghost" of your friends. We also talk about Demandbase's new (massive) round of funding and Twitter's new ad units that put a bot in your DMs.

We then interview Travis Freeman of Upload, who tells us all about the future of VR, AR, and every other kind of reality you can think of. In fact, we had so much fun with this week's guest, we don't want to return to actual reality.

We also discuss the latest news (including some A.I. startups, of course), debate why it is now OK for Amazon Echo to get voice ads, and compare and contrast our experiences at both CUBE Tech Fair in Berlin and Martech 2017 in San Francisco.
