I was really intrigued by this article. It's about this robot called Autom, that helps you stay on your diet. Everyday, it will ask you a different question (none of the questions are the same) as it gets to know you. You put in the amount of food you ate at each meal, how many minutes of exercise you have done and so on. In return, Autom will say encourage you to not eat "that last slice of pizza". This was interesting because the average person stays on their diet for about 3 weeks. The people who used Autom stayed on it for 8 weeks or more.
