    Abstract: A method for generating emotionally intelligent responses to information seeking questions includes receiving audio data corresponding to a query spoken by a user and captured by an assistant-enabled device associated with the user, and processing, using a speech recognition model, the audio data to determine a transcription of the query. The method also includes performing query interpretation on the transcription of the query to identify an emotional state of the user that spoke the query, and an action to perform. The method also includes obtaining a response preamble based on the emotional state of the user and performing the identified action to obtain information responsive to the query. The method further includes generating a response including the obtained response preamble followed by the information responsive to the query.
