Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. For example, a first speech input is received from a user. In response to receiving the first speech input, a response is provided. A first output is provided corresponding to a digital assistant in a first state, and a second speech input is received from the user. A first plurality of values is obtained. Based on the first plurality of values, a first confidence level corresponding to the second speech input is obtained. In accordance with a determination that the first confidence level exceeds a first threshold confidence level, a second output is provided corresponding to the digital assistant in a second state. The second speech input continues to be received.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer system displays virtual content illustrating an area of likely interaction, and displays immersive virtual content. In some embodiments, a computer system reduces visual prominence of immersive virtual content and displays an area of likely interaction. In some embodiments, a computer system generates alerts associated with physical objects in an environment of a user. In some embodiments, a computer system changes the visual prominence of people in a three-dimensional environment based on one or more attention-related factors.

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant within a computer-generated reality (CGR) environment are provided. For example, a user input invoking a digital assistant session is received, and in response, a digital assistant session is initiated. Initiating the digital assistant session includes positioning a digital assistant object at a first location within the CGR environment but outside of the currently-displayed portion of the CGR environment at a first time, and providing a first output indicating the location of the digital assistant object.

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at an electronic device with one or more processors and memory, receiving a first natural-language speech input indicative of a request for media, where the first natural-language speech input comprises a first search parameter; providing, by a digital assistant, a first media item identified based on the first search parameter. The method further includes, while providing the first media item, receiving a second natural-language speech input and determining whether the second input corresponds to a user intent of refining the request for media. The method further includes, in accordance with a determination that the second speech input corresponds to a user intent of refining the request for media: identifying, based on the first parameter and the second speech input, a second media item and providing the second media item.

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an automated assistant are disclosed. In one example process, an electronic device provides an audio output via a speaker of the electronic device. While providing the audio output, the electronic device receives, via a microphone of the electronic device, a natural language speech input. The electronic device derives a representation of user intent based on the natural language speech input and the audio output, identifies a task based on the derived user intent; and performs the identified task.
