Abstract: Systems and processes for a multi-modal digital assistant are provided. An example method includes, at a computer system, while operating in a hands-free operating mode, receiving a natural-language speech input indicative of a task; in response to receiving the natural-language speech input, initiating performance of the task; and providing an output corresponding to the task, wherein providing the output includes displaying a first user interface associated with an application, the first user interface displayed according to the hands-free operating mode; while displaying the first user interface, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a touch input at a location corresponding to the first user interface; and in response to the touch input: transitioning from the hands-free operating mode to a hands-on operating mode different than the hands-free operating mode; and launching the application, wherein launching the application includes displaying a second user interface according to the hands-on operating mode.
