A method for deliver relevant responses to ambiguous queries includes receiving, from a user device associated with a user, a query requesting either information from a digital assistant service or performance of an action by the digital assistant service. When a user intent of the query is unresolved, the method also includes retrieving, from a search engine, currently trending search results for the query and resolving the user intent of the query based on the search results. The method also includes generating a response to the query based the resolved user intent. The response includes information obtained from a particular intent vertical associated with the resolved user intent or fulfillment of the action by the digital assistant service.
