Make a pet robot that can substitute for a real pet- thinking of JD may be an ideal candidate. Pair JD up with AI so that he can respond to you. Responses would be more that something that you can code up. Find if external AI engines can be hooked up to JD's brain so that he can give responses and take action. Kind of like Siri or Google Assistant or Amazon's Alexa.
