    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for detecting a continued conversation are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving first audio data of a first utterance. The actions further include obtaining a first transcription of the first utterance. The actions further include receiving second audio data of a second utterance. The actions further include obtaining a second transcription of the second utterance. The actions further include determining whether the second utterance includes a query directed to a query processing system based on analysis of the second transcription and the first transcription or a response to the first query. The actions further include configuring the data routing component to provide the second transcription of the second utterance to the query processing system as a second query or bypass routing the second transcription.

    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for delegation of request fulfillment, by an assistant, to other devices. A method includes: receiving, by a first device, a request from a first user; identifying, based on the request from the first user, (i) an action corresponding to the request and (ii) a first parameter corresponding to the action; determining that fulfillment of the action is to be delegated to a device other than the first device; in response: selecting, as the device other than the first device, a second device on which an application corresponding to the action is installed; identifying, by the first device, based on the first parameter and information associated with an account of the first user, a first disambiguated parameter corresponding to the action; and sending, to the second device, a command that specifies the action and the first disambiguated parameter, to cause the second device to fulfill the action.

    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can provide a selectable action intent suggestion when a user is accessing a third party application that is controllable via the automated assistant. The action intent can be initialized by the user without explicitly invoking the automated assistant using, for example, an invocation phrase (e.g., “Assistant . . . ”). Rather, the user can initialize performance of the corresponding action by identifying one or more action parameters. In some implementations, the selectable suggestion can indicate that a microphone is active for the user to provide a spoken utterance that identifies a parameter(s). When the action intent is initialized in response to the spoken utterance from the user, the automated assistant can control the third party application according to the action intent and any identified parameter(s).

    Abstract: Techniques are described related to enabling automated assistants to enter into a “conference mode” in which they can “participate” in meetings between multiple human participants and perform various functions described herein. In various implementations, an automated assistant implemented at least in part on conference computing device(s) may be set to a conference mode in which the automated assistant performs speech-to-text processing on multiple distinct spoken utterances, provided by multiple meeting participants, without requiring explicit invocation prior to each utterance. The automated assistant may perform semantic processing on first text generated from the speech-to-text processing of one or more of the spoken utterances, and generate, based on the semantic processing, data that is pertinent to the first text. The data may be output to the participants at conference computing device(s). The automated assistant may later determine that the meeting has concluded, and may be set to a non-conference mode.
