    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for automatically augmenting message exchange threads based on a detected tone of messages exchanged between participants. In various implementations, a message contributed to a message exchange thread involving one or more message exchange clients by a participant may be determined. In various implementations, an idle chatter score associated with the message may be calculated. In various implementations, either a conversational response to the message or content responsive to a search query generated based on the message may be selectively incorporated into the message exchange thread based at least in part on the idle chatter score. In some implementations, a search query suitability score associated with the message may also be calculated.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media related to interaction between a user and an automated assistant during a dialog between the user and the automated assistant. Some implementations are directed to adapting a graphical and/or audible presentation of search results provided by the automated assistant for presentation to the user. The adaptation may be in response to attribute(s), of one or more of the search results, referenced in spoken and/or typed textual input provided by the user during the dialog. Some of those implementations may enable a user to provide textual input to navigate the search results within the dialog and within resource and/or interface constraints associated with the dialog. Some of those implementations may additionally and/or alternatively enable adapting, based on textual input provided by a user to the automated assistant, when and/or whether search results having certain attributes are provided to the user by the automated assistant.

    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for chatbots to achieve greater social grace by tracking users' states and providing corresponding dialog. In various implementations, input may be received from a user at a client device operating a chatbot, e.g., during a first session between the user and the chatbot. The input may be semantically processed to determine a state expressed by the user to the chatbot. An indication of the state expressed by the user may be stored in memory for future use by the chatbot. It may then be determined, e.g., by the chatbot based on various signals, that a second session between the user and the chatbot is underway. In various implementations, as part of the second session, the chatbot may output a statement formed from a plurality of candidate words, phrases, and/or statements based on the stored indication of the state expressed by the user.

    Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods, devices, and systems for monitoring activity in a home environment. In one aspect, a method performed at a voice-assistant device includes: (1) while operating in an assistant mode, receiving an occupant voice command to operate in a monitoring mode; (2) in response to the command, transitioning to operating in the monitoring mode; (3) obtaining one or more monitoring criteria; (4) while operating in the monitoring mode, detecting a sound; (5) obtaining a determination as to whether the sound meets the one or more monitoring criteria; and (6) in accordance with a determination that the sound meets the one or more monitoring criteria: (a) obtaining a classification of the sound; and (b) based on sound having a first sound classification, emitting a first simulated occupant response of a plurality of simulated occupant responses via the one or more speakers.
