  • Publication number: 20240155204
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to providing notifications regarding events that may interrupt content being rendered at an interface. The notifications can be preemptive and/or can indicate a predicted time and/or source for the events. The event can be, for example, a person attempting to contact a user who is viewing content at a display interface. The person can be associated with a food delivery that has been ordered by the user via a delivery application. An application, such an automated assistant application, can predict when the person is expected to arrive with the food delivery, and generate a notification ahead of the person arriving. In some implementations, the notification can be rendered at a scrubber user interface (UI) at a location corresponding to the time that the food delivery is expected to arrive, thereby putting the user on notice of when the streaming content may be interrupted.

  • Publication number: 20240020091
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can proactively identify and complete tasks that may be associated with an activity with which a user has scheduled the automated assistant to assist with. The tasks can be identified and completed prior to a time that the user has scheduled the automated assistant to assist the user, thereby eliminating certain manual tasks the user may otherwise perform at the scheduled time. When the activity involves communicating with a separate entity, such as another person and/or organization, the automated assistant can initialize communication with the entity prior to the scheduled time that the user requested assistance. A customized GUI can be rendered at an assistant-enabled device to provide the user with an ongoing status of completing various tasks associated with scheduled activity.
