Next Episode: Kristian Segerstrale, maniacal laughter, and what Google I/O means for marketers

This week, Travis and Stewart are lucky enough to interview Adelyn Zhou of Topbots. We get schooled on the latest in A.I., how smaller businesses can get involved (it isn't just for Fortune 500 types), what's going on with chatbots, and whether she prefers Decepticons or Autobots.

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.
