Abstract: This relates to systems and processes for using a virtual assistant to arbitrate among and/or control electronic devices. In one example process, a first electronic device samples an audio input using a microphone. The first electronic device broadcasts a first set of one or more values based on the sampled audio input. Furthermore, the first electronic device receives a second set of one or more values, which are based on the audio input, from a second electronic device. Based on the first set of one or more values and the second set of one or more values, the first electronic device determines whether to respond to the audio input or forego responding to the audio input.

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating a digital assistant are provided. An example method includes, at an electronic device with one or more processors and memory, while an application is open on the electronic device: receiving a spoken input including a command, determining whether the command matches at least a portion of a metadata associated with an action of the application, and in accordance with a determination that the command matches at least the portion of the metadata associated with the action of the application, associating the command with the action, storing the association of the command with the action for subsequent use with the application by the digital assistant, and executing the action with the application.
