Shopping is history with Dolo, the cute little robot that buys everything for you. Dolo roams your house, digs through your drawers and scans all your possessions, so it can buy everything you need automatically while you're working one of your three gig-economy jobs. With its cute hats, love of Christmas, and cool tricks like blowing fireballs, Dolo wants nothing more than to become a part of your family. Can Noa help CEO Roland Rouche (Joel Kim Booster) find more disciples to spread the Good Word of Dolo?

Ad-supported hammers, drone-harvested fish, DNA manipulation - anything's possible on Demo Day! It's VC Christmas as Noa checks in on the most promising companies he's been funding through his incubator. With some amazing ideas and a very special guest host (Eugene Cordero), this figures to be one of the biggest Demo Days on record, even before Noa takes the stage himself for an exclusive debut of Heaven!

It's no exaggeration to say that the internet would be nothing without Joe's Hottest Tips. In the 90s, millions of Americans bought PCs and they needed someone to give them Tips on how to log on, turn off their computer at night (not just the monitor!), and keep their mouseball clean. Noa’s idol Joe Williams (Carson Mell) was the foremost Tips-giver of the era, but he fell off the radar as his Tips empire was pummeled by new media consolidation. Together they set sail on Joe's yacht to relive the glory days of the first Silicon Valley boom. Can Noa rekindle Joe's spark of innovation? Or will Joe help Noa see the light with some much-needed Tips for healthier living?

Selling sex is illegal, but consenting to sexual activity by swapping cryptocurrency on the blockchain is innovation. That's the genius idea of Romio's founder Maya Rauss (Kate Berlant) whose brand of Silicon Valley-friendly techno-feminism has led to a career of fighting the exploitation of women's bodies online by profiting off that exploitation for herself. But Romio's contractors are struggling with crypto prices cratering mid-sex act, and the company's growth has been slowed by clashes with her ruthless competitors in the for-profit dating sphere. With Noa's own love life on the rocks, will he be able to help Romio convince its users to migrate all human relationships onto the blockchain?

The self-driving car that can behave morally at 75 MPH. Should your car swerve into traffic to avoid a stroller, or hit and run and hope for the best? Self-driving cars face these kinds of questions every mile, and Drive Mind's advanced artificial intelligence can answer them. Founder Louis Taylor (Matt Oberg) has built a robust moral driving architecture that can weigh the value of a possum crossing the road versus a stalled van full of professional gamers, and Noa decides to take it for a test drive to see if it's road ready. Can Noa help Drive Mind pull onto the onramp of success, or will a bump in the road prove fatal to Drive Mind's ambitions?

The fridge so smart it can watch you eat, save you money, and convert to Judaism. YourFridge's freshness-sensing nose isn't just smelling your lettuce and discarding your moldy fruit. It's constantly buying, selling, and trading your food with other internet-connected smart fridges to get you the best deals on staples like manchego and apple cider vinegar, even if it has to record all your conversations and undercut your local supermarket to do it. But with YourFridge coming under fire from the anti-Semitic fringe, can Noa help CEO Catherine Goldberg (Debra DiGiovanni) embrace her roots and rediscover her patriotism?

Medical care on demand, and it might even come from a doctor! Got a headache or a crushed limb? Spin the wheel and if you're lucky, you'll land on an experienced doctor. If not, the part-time food delivery person who helps you will be carefully following instructions beamed in by a team of doctors at Dr. Roulette's Remote Medical Center in Chennai, India.

Computer-generated headlines are making journalists, fact-checking, and objective truth obsolete. Noa visits AutoNews, which publishes millions of headlines daily directly onto social media with its powerful algorithm. But AutoNews isn’t just crowding out mainstream competitors and inciting partisan rage. It’s given birth to a movement of citizen investigators who plan to get to the bottom of a massive conspiracy involving Trump, Satan, pedophiles, and a hungry lizard. Will Noa and CEO Jared Marks (Nick Corirossi) change the media forever? Or will Jared be lost in a complicated plot of his company's own making?

Tech genius Noa Lukas visits Puel, whose pool-match algorithm finds the perfect pool filled with swimmers like you based on your demographic profile.
