Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. For example, a first speech input directed to a digital assistant is received from a user. A first response is provided based on the first speech input. A session window is initiated, wherein the session window is associated with a variable speech threshold. A second speech input is received during the session window. In accordance with a determination that the second speech input includes speech directed to the digital assistant, a duration associated with the session window is increased. In accordance with a determination that the variable speech threshold does not exceed a predetermined speech threshold, the session window is ended.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to implementing an operational safety mode that manages the output of notifications at an electronic device when a user of the device is operating a vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In one example process, a first input including activation of an affordance is received. A domain associated with the affordance is determined. A second input including user speech is received, where a user intent is determined based on the domain and the user speech. A determination is made whether the user intent includes a command associated with the affordance. In accordance with a determination that the user intent includes a command associated with the affordance, a task in furtherance of the command is performed.

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. For example, a first speech input is received from a user. In response to receiving the first speech input, a response is provided. A first output is provided corresponding to a digital assistant in a first state, and a second speech input is received from the user. A first plurality of values is obtained. Based on the first plurality of values, a first confidence level corresponding to the second speech input is obtained. In accordance with a determination that the first confidence level exceeds a first threshold confidence level, a second output is provided corresponding to the digital assistant in a second state. The second speech input continues to be received.

Abstract: An example process includes: while displaying a portion of an extended reality (XR) environment representing a current field of view of a user: detecting a user gaze at a first object displayed in the XR environment, where the first object is persistent in the current field of view of the XR environment; in response to detecting the user gaze at the first object, expanding the first object into a list of objects including a second object representing a digital assistant; detecting a user gaze at the second object; in accordance with detecting the user gaze at the second object, displaying a first animation of the second object indicating that a digital assistant session is initiated; receiving a first audio input from the user; and displaying a second animation of the second object indicating that the digital assistant is actively listening to the user.

Abstract: An example process includes: receiving a first natural language input; initiating, by a digital assistant operating on the electronic device, a first task based on the first natural language input; determining whether the first task is of a predetermined type; and in accordance with a determination that the first task is of a predetermined type: determining whether one or more criteria are satisfied; and providing a response to the first natural language input, where providing the response includes: in accordance with a determination that the one or more criteria are not satisfied, outputting a first sound indicative of the initiated first task and a first verbal response indicative of the initiated first task; and in accordance with a determination that the one or more criteria are satisfied, outputting the first sound without outputting the first verbal response.

Abstract: An example process includes: receiving, by a digital assistant operating on an electronic device, a natural language input; determining whether the natural language input corresponds to a predetermined type of domain; and in accordance with a determination that the natural language input corresponds to the predetermined type of domain: selecting a first digital assistant response mode from a plurality of digital assistant response modes, where each digital assistant response mode of the plurality of digital assistant response modes corresponds to a respective plurality of domains; and causing a first response to the natural language input to be provided according to the first digital assistant response mode, including: causing a first type of audio output to be provided; and causing a first type of response affordance to be displayed.
