Abstract: Implementations are directed to enabling a representative associated with an entity to quickly and efficiently modify a voice bot associated with the entity. The voice bot can be previously trained to communicate with user(s) on behalf of the entity through various communication channels (e.g., a telephone communication channel, a software application communication channel, a messaging communication channel, etc.). Processor(s) of a computing device can receive, from the representative, representative input to modify behavior(s) and/or parameter(s) that the voice bot utilizes in communicating with the plurality of users via the communication channels, determine whether the representative is authorized to cause the behavior(s) and/or parameter(s) to be modified, and cause the behavior(s) and/or parameter(s) to be modified in response to determining that the representative is authorized. Notably, the representative input can be received through the same communication channels that the user(s) utilize to communicate with the voice bot.

Abstract: To identify driving event sounds during navigation, a client device in a vehicle provides a set of navigation directions for traversing from a starting location to a destination location along a route. During navigation to the destination location, the client device identifies audio that includes a driving event sound from within the vehicle or an area surrounding the vehicle. In response to determining that the audio includes the driving event sound, the client device determines whether the driving event sound is artificial. In response to determining that the driving event sound is artificial, the client device presents a notification to the driver indicating that the driving event sound is artificial or masks the driving event sound to prevent the driver from hearing the driving event sound.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing actionable suggestions are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes receiving (i) an indication that an event detection module has determined that a shared event of a particular type is presently occurring or has occurred, and (ii) data referencing an attribute associated with the shared event. The method includes selecting, from among multiple output templates that are each associated with a different type of shared event, a particular output template associated with the particular type of shared event detected by the module. The method generates a notification for output using at least (i) the selected particular output template, and (ii) the data referencing the attribute associated with the shared event. The method then provides, for output to a user device, the notification that is generated.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for limiting provision and display of redundant digital components on a client. Methods can include storing, by a client device, a list of digital components specifying digital components available for provision to the client device. For a first digital component received within a first application, the client device detects a set of signals specifying a first user interaction with the first digital component and a second user interaction with content provided in response to the first user interaction. Based on whether an affirmative user action was performed, the client device can modify the list of digital components. When a request to access a content page within a second application is received, the client device can receive the second digital component, which can be selected from among digital components included on the modified list of digital components.

Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to receiving user input directed to an automated assistant, processing the user input to determine whether data from a server and/or third-party application is needed to perform certain fulfillment of an assistant command included in the user input, and generating a prompt that requests a user consent to transmitting of a request to the server and/or the third-party application to obtain the data needed to perform the certain fulfillment. In implementations where the user consents, the data can be obtained and utilized to perform the certain fulfillment. In implementations where the user does not consent, client data can be generated locally at a client device and utilized to perform alternate fulfillment of the assistant command. In various implementations, the request transmitted to the server and/or third-party application can be modified based on ambient noise captured when the user input is received.
