Even though one producer suggested that Lana be inspired by Amazon's Alexa, Gibson told Oprah Magazine that Lana is more like a "super nanny." "When I heard the idea I thought, 'I can't believe this hasn't been done before.' We're always being watched and listened to. It felt so modern and youthful to have an AI robot that was their love guru," she said. "We think of Lana as Mary Poppins meets Ellen DeGeneres." In fact, Lana interacted more with the contestants than the producers. "Lana was their love guru, Lana was their guidance, Lana was their friend," Peet added.
