What do you think? …

Jimmy Douglas
I'm curious how you came up with the name?
billo
@jimmydouglas Lola is a portmanteau of Longitude and Latitude.
Jimmy Douglas
@agentbillo Ohhh that makes sense. To be honest I was confused because the lowercase L in the title made me think it was an uppercase I, so I thought it was Iola.

@jimmydouglas There's a whole brand discussion here, but the short version is that we like the symmetry of lola written as all lowercase in the brand mark (see the web site lolatravel.com for the word mark), and thought the app name looked nice that way on the phone.

I'm an avid Pana user—seems like Lola is similar. In what ways is Lola different?
Alex Putici
How does this differ from Pana?

I just downloaded the app and the on-boarding experience was really cool! I'm curious what happens as my preferences change over time. Does Lola detect that or do I have to go in and change them?

@pseudovirtual Lola learns your habits, and makes future recommendations based on that.
Zach Robinson
Do you use real travel agents or bots on the other end of my conversation?
billo
@zmrobins We use real people.

BostInno wrote a great piece about Lola and what their plans are: http://bostinno.streetwise.co/20... They have real travel agents assisted by AI (@zmrobins). I'm quite excited about their growth model, which is to allow any travel agent to go on the Lola platform in the future and help make bookings. No wonder @englishpaulm was driving people around using Uber a while back!
Chris Messina
What's the business model?
billo
@chrismessina It's all commissions on travel products, and later this year we will roll out membership programs with fees and benefits.
