Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. Upon receiving a user input requesting that a digital assistant initiate a task, performance of the task is initiated, and a task response is provided. If the digital assistant determines that task is associated with a first user interface, such as a non-digital assistant-specific user interface, the task response is provided using the first user interface.

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated digital assistant on an electronic device are provided. In particular, this paper describes the automatic registration of voice-activated shortcuts for a particular application at a vocabulary engine associated with the intelligent automated digital assistant. In some embodiments the automatic registration can be performed during installation or update of an application. Automatic registration can also be initiated after entry of particular types of data into the application or a determination that a particular feature of the application is being commonly used.

Abstract: Systems and processes for navigating and performing device tasks using a search interface are provided. For example, a first user input including at least one character is received. Based on the first user input, a first task among a plurality of tasks is displayed, wherein the first task is associated with a confidence value exceeding a threshold confidence value. A second input corresponding to an activation on the first task is received. In accordance with a determination that the activated task corresponds to a predetermined task type performance of the activated task is initiated, and a respective interface corresponding to the initiated task is displayed. In accordance with a determination that the activated task does not correspond to the predetermined task type, the system causes the activated task to be performed without displaying the respective interface.

Abstract: Systems and processes for providing and updating user interfaces for search functions are provided. An example process includes, at a computer system including a touch sensitive display and one or more input devices: receiving, via the one or more input devices, a request to display a user interface; in response to receiving the request to display the user interface, displaying, via the touch sensitive display, the user interface including an affordance including an indication of a number of pages of the user interface; and while displaying the user interface: detecting an occurrence of a predetermined condition; and in response to detecting the occurrence of the predetermined conditions, updating the affordance to include an indication of a search function.

Abstract: Systems and processes for providing a search interface with contextual suggestions are provided. For example, a first user input to activate a search interface is received. In response to receiving the first user input, a first context associated with the electronic device is identified. In accordance with a determination that a first confidence score associated with the first context exceeds a first threshold confidence score, a first task corresponding to the first context is displayed. In accordance with a determination that the first confidence score associated with the first context does not exceed a threshold confidence score, a second task associated with a previous interaction context is displayed.

Abstract: This relates generally to intelligent automated assistants and, more specifically, to provide intelligent contextual action predictions by the intelligent automated assistants. An example method includes, at an electronic device displaying a content to a user, receiving a user input on a display area of the displayed content, determining a content type associated with a content object of the displayed content in response to receiving the user input, extracting one or more data items from the determined content type, determining one or more action types of each of the one or more data items and one or more action parameters for the each of the action types, determining one or more suggestive actions based on the determined one or more actions types; and presenting, to the user, at least one suggestive action from the one or more suggestive actions.
