Publication number: 20240274132Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can interact with applications that may not have been pre-configured for interfacing with the automated assistant. The automated assistant can identify content of an application interface of the application to determine synonymous terms that a user may speak when commanding the automated assistant to perform certain tasks. Speech processing operations employed by the automated assistant can be biased towards these synonymous terms when the user is accessing an application interface of the application. In some implementations, the synonymous terms can be identified in a responsive language of the automated assistant when the content of the application interface is being rendered in a different language. This can allow the automated assistant to operate as an interface between the user and certain applications that may not be rendering content in a native language of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2024Publication date: August 15, 2024Inventors: Joseph Lange, Abhanshu Sharma, Adam Coimbra, Gökhan Bakir, Gabriel Taubman, IIya Firman, Jindong Chen, James Stout, Marcin Nowak-Przygodzki, Reed Enger, Thomas Weedon Hume, Vishwath Mohan, Jacek Szmigiel, Yunfan Jin, Kyle Pedersen, Gilles Baechler
