Abstract: In some implementations, an utterance that requests a voice call is received, the utterance is classified as spoken by a particular known user, the particular known user is determined to be associated with a personal voice number, and in response to determining that the particular known user is associated with a personal voice number, the voice call is initiated with the personal voice number.

Abstract: An assistant executing at, at least one processor, is described that determines content for a conversation with a user of a computing device and selects, based on the content and information associated with the user, a modality to signal initiating the conversation with the user. The assistant is further described that causes, in the modality, a signaling of the conversation with the user.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for leveraging information about a user to enable a personal assistant module to make various inferences about what actions that may be responsive to a user declaration. In various implementations, upon identifying a user declaration received at a computing device, a plurality of candidate responsive actions that can be initiated by the computing device in response to the user declaration may be identified. A single candidate responsive action may then be non-deterministically (e.g., randomly, stochastically) selected to be exclusively initiated on the computing device in response to the user declaration.

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.

Abstract: In some implementations, a determination that a first party has spoken a query for a voice-enabled virtual assistant during a voice call between the first party and a second party is made, in response to the determination that the first party has spoken the query for the voice-enabled virtual assistant during the voice call between the first party and the second party, the voice call between the first party and the second party is placed on hold, a determination that the voice-enabled virtual assistant has resolved the query is made, and in response to the determination that the voice-enabled virtual assistant has handled the query, the voice call between the first party and the second party is resumed from hold.

Abstract: In some implementations, an utterance that requests a voice call is received, the utterance is classified as spoken by a particular known user, in response to classifying the utterance as spoken by the particular known user, a recipient voice number to call is determined based on contacts for the particular known user, and the voice call to the recipient voice number is initiated.
