Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to using voice interaction to access call functionality of a companion device. In an example process, a user utterance is received.

In accordance with the user intent corresponding to an actionable intent of answering the incoming call, a command is received. Based on the command, instructions are provided to the companion device, which cause the companion device to answer the incoming call and provide audio data of the answered incoming call.
