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 operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. Example methods include receiving a request from a user to perform an action using a particular software object, and in response to the request, determining an actionable intent corresponding to the action, determining whether and how to transfer the particular software object for use in executing the actionable intent, and executing the actionable intent using the particular software object.

Abstract: The subject technology provides for dynamic property modification through updateable entity tagging by an intelligent automated assistant. An apparatus can extract a schema associated with an application, the schema comprising metadata that defines a structure indicating at least one entity and at least one app intent call. The apparatus determines that the metadata indicates that a property associated with the at least one entity is updateable. The apparatus generates a mapping between the property and the at least one app intent call to indicate a relationship between an action taken by the at least one app intent call to enable modification of the property. The apparatus generates a dictionary structure comprising an indication of the mapping between the property and the at least one app intent call. The apparatus provides the dictionary structure for access by an automated assistant.

Abstract: Implementing a configurable input component includes detecting user input via a configurable input component of a device, determining, by the device, context information, and identifying a set of actions associated with a first application. A next action is selected based on the context information, and the application is caused to perform the selected next action.
