Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to a system that employs an automated assistant to further interactions between a user and another application, which can provide the automated assistant with permission to initialize relevant application actions simultaneous to the user interacting with the other application. Furthermore, the system can allow the automated assistant to initialize actions of different applications, despite being actively operating a particular application. Available actions can be gleaned by the automated assistant using various application-specific schemas, which can be compared with incoming requests from a user to the automated assistant. Additional data, such as context and historical interactions, can also be used to rank and identify a suitable application action to be initialized via the automated assistant.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically associating content characteristics to a third-party content are provided. A uniform resource locator identifying a resource is received from a content provider. The content is rendered to produce an object tree. A first node of the object tree is determined, where the first node represents a content slot. A second node of the object tree proximate to the first node is identified. The second node has a content characteristic, which is extracted. The extracted content characteristic is associated with the first node and stored.
Abstract: A solution arranged to build or train a machine learning model (ML model) that can be uploaded to a server arranged to deploy the ML model to communicating devices. The ML model builder can build the ML model and a ML production pipeline. The ML production pipeline can train the ML model, convert the ML model to a web browser compatible format, and upload the converted ML model to the server. The ML model can receive as input a sequence of prior activities on one communicating device in the communicating devices, analyze the sequence of prior activities on the communicating device, predict a next activity on the communicating device based on the analysis of the sequence of prior activities, preemptively search a computer network based on the predicted next activity to find a computer asset, and preload the found computer asset to a storage in the communicating device.

Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to management of casting requests and user inputs at a rechargeable device, which provides access to an automated assistant and is capable of rendering data that is cast from a separate device. Casting requests can be handled by the rechargeable device despite a device SoC of the rechargeable device operating in a sleep mode. Furthermore, spoken utterances provided by a user for invoking the automated assistant can also be adaptively managed by the rechargeable device in order mitigate idle power consumption by the device SoC. Such spoken utterances can be initially processed by a digital signal processor (DSP), and, based on one or more features (e.g., voice characteristic, conformity to a particular invocation phrase, etc.) of the spoken utterance, the device SoC can be initialized for an amount of time that is selected based on the features of the spoken utterance.

Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to rendering, at a message application, certain messages with a particular sorting scheme (e.g., a classification-based sorting scheme) based on the certain messages having transfer times that satisfy a transfer time threshold and, optionally, based on the certain messages being unread. Other messages rendered by the message application can be rendered with an alternative sorting scheme, such as chronologically. Utilization of the particular sorting scheme for the certain messages enables a user, viewing the messages, to review (e.g., reply-to, delete, and/or view) the certain messages with reduced latency, thereby allowing the certain messages to be more quickly reviewed and actioned when received.
Abstract: Some implementations are directed to adapting a client application on a feature phone based on experiment parameters. Some of those implementations are directed to adapting an assistant client application, where the assistant client application interacts with remote assistant component(s) to provide automated assistant functionalities via the assistant client application of the feature phone. Some implementations are additionally or alternatively directed to determining whether an invocation, of an assistant client application on a feature phone, is a request for transcription of voice data received in conjunction with the invocation, or is instead a request for an assistant response that is responsive to the transcription of the voice data (e.g., includes assistant content that is based on and in addition to the transcription, and that optionally lacks the transcription itself).
