    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for using selectable elements to invoke an automated assistant at a computing device. While operating the computing device, a user may not be aware that the automated assistant can be invoked according to certain invocation phrases. In order to inform the user of the functionality of the automated assistant, the user can be presented with selectable elements that can initialize the automated assistant when selected. Furthermore, a selectable element can provide an invocation phrase in textual form so that the user is aware of their ability to invoke the automated assistant by speaking the invocation phrase. The selectable element can be presented at different devices associated with the user, and the automated assistant can be initialized at a device that is separate from the device where the selectable element is presented.

    Abstract: A method includes determining, by an assistant executing at one or more processors, a default group of actions that the assistant is configured to execute in response to receiving a particular audible command. The method includes determining, by the assistant, based on the default group of actions and a user profile associated with a particular user, a custom group of actions that the assistant is configured to execute in response to receiving the particular audible command from the particular user. The method also includes receiving, by the assistant, an indication of the particular audible command, and determining, by the assistant, whether the indication of particular audible command originated from the particular user. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the indication of particular audible command originated from the particular user, executing, by the assistant, each action from the custom group of actions.

    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to pre-emptively initializing an automated assistant in a vehicle according to certain indications, in order to reduce latency while also seeking to preserve computational resources. In some implementations, data for effectuating one or more features of an automated assistant can be loaded into memory of a computing device based on vehicle interaction data. For example, the vehicle interaction data can characterize instances in which the user, from within their vehicle, invoked the automated assistant within a threshold period of time of an application completing an operation. Based on the vehicle interaction data, subsequent instances of the operation being completed while the user is in the vehicle can cause data to be loaded into memory in order to pre-emptively prepare the automated assistant to be utilized by the user.

    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to phasing-out of vehicle computing device versions while ensuring useful responsiveness of any vehicle computing device versions that are still in operation. Certain features of updated computing devices may not be available to prior versions of computing devices because of hardware limitations. The implementations set forth herein eliminate crashes and wasteful data transmissions caused by prior versions of computing devices that have not been, or cannot be, upgraded. A server device can be responsive to a particular intent request provided to a vehicle computing device, despite the intent request being associated with an action that a particular version of the vehicle computing device cannot execute. In response, the server device can elect to provide speech to text data, and/or natural language understanding data, in furtherance of allowing the vehicle computing device to continue leveraging resources at the server device.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for invoking an agent module in an automated assistant application in response to user selection of a selectable element presented at a graphical user interface rendered by a non-automated assistant application. The invoked agent module can be associated with other content rendered in the non-automated assistant graphical user interface, and can optionally be invoked with values that are based on user interactions via the non-automated assistant application. Responsive content can be received from the agent module in response to the invocation, and corresponding content provided by the automated assistant application via an automated assistant interface. In these and other manners, selection of the selectable element causes transition from a non-conversational interface, to a conversational automated assistant interface—where an agent (relevant to content in the non-conversational interface) is invoked in the automated assistant interface.

    Abstract: Technology of the disclosure may facilitate user discovery of various voice-based action queries that can be spoken to initiate computer-based actions, such as voice-based action queries that can be provided as spoken input to a computing device to initiate computer-based actions that are particularized to content being viewed or otherwise consumed by the user on the computing device. Some implementations are generally directed to determining, in view of content recently viewed by a user on a computing device, at least one suggested voice-based action query for presentation via the computing device. Some implementations are additionally or alternatively generally directed to receiving at least one suggested voice-based action query at a computing device and providing the suggested voice-based action query as a suggestion in response to input to initiate providing of a voice-based query via the computing device.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media related to soliciting feedback from a user regarding one or more content parameters of a suggestion or other content provided by the automated assistant. The user's feedback may be used to influence future suggestions and/or other content subsequently provided, by the automated assistant in future dialog sessions, to the user and/or to other users. In some implementations, content is provided to a user by an automated assistant in a dialog session between the user and the automated assistant—and the automated assistant provides a prompt that solicits user feedback related to the provided content in a future dialog session between the user and the automated assistant. In some of those implementations, the prompt is provided following input from the user and/or output from the automated assistant, in the future dialog session, that is unrelated to the content provided in the previous dialog session.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for storing incomplete dialog sessions between a user and an automated assistant in order that the dialog sessions can be completed in furtherance of certain actions. While interacting with an automated assistant, a user can become distracted and not complete the interaction to the point of the automated assistant performing some action. In response, the automated assistant can store the interaction as a dialog session. Subsequently, the user may express interest, directly or indirectly, in completing the dialog session, and the automated assistant can provide the user with a selectable element that, when selected, causes the dialog session to be reopened. The user can then continue the dialog session with the automated assistant in order that the originally intended action can be performed by the automated assistant.
