    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for isolating at least one device, from multiple devices in an environment, for being responsive to assistant invocations (e.g., spoken assistant invocations). A process for isolating a device can be initialized in response to a single instance of a spoken utterance, of a user, that is detected by multiple devices. One or more of the multiple devices can be caused to query the user regarding identifying a device to be isolated for receiving subsequent commands. The user can identify the device to be isolated by, for example, describing a unique identifier for the device. Unique identifiers can be generated by each device of the multiple devices and/or by a remote server device. The unique identifiers can be presented graphically and/or audibly to the user, and user interface input. Any device that is not identified can become temporarily unresponsive to certain commands, such as spoken invocation commands.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to a data processing system to selectively invoke applications for execution. A data processing system can receive an input audio signal and can parse the input audio signal to identify a command. The data processing system can identify a first functionality of a first digital assistant application hosted on the data processing system in the vehicle and a second functionality of a second digital assistant application accessible via a client device. The data processing system can determine that one of the first functionality or the second functionality supports the command. The data processing system can select one of the first digital assistant application or the second digital assistant application based on the determination. The data processing system invoke one of the first digital assistant application or the second digital assistant application based on the selection.

    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: A system is described that determines, based on information associated with a user of a computing device, an event for initiating an interaction between the user and an assistant executing at the computing device. The system selects, based on the event and from a plurality of actions performed by the assistant, at least one action associated with the event. The system determines, based on the at least one action, whether to output a notification of the event which includes an indication of the event and a request to perform the at least one action associated with the event. Responsive to determining to output the notification of the event, the system sends, to the assistant, the notification of the event for output during the interaction between the user and the assistant

    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: 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.
