Based on the respective active set of warm words, the method also includes executing a warm word arbitration routine to enable a final set of warm words for detection, each warm word in the final set of warm words selected from the respective active set of warm words for at least one digital assistant. While the final set of warm words are enabled for detection, the method includes receiving audio data corresponding to an utterance, detecting a warm word from the final set of warm words, and instructing the digital assistant associated with the detected warm word to perform the respective action specified by the detected warm word.
