    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for an automated calling system are disclosed. Some implementations are directed to using a bot to initiate telephone calls and conduct telephone conversations with a user. The bot may be interrupted while providing synthesized speech during the telephone call. The interruption can be classified into one of multiple disparate interruption types, and the bot can react to the interruption based on the interruption type. Some implementations are directed to determining that a first user is placed on hold by a second user during a telephone conversation, and maintaining the telephone call in an active state in response to determining the first user hung up the telephone call. The first user can be notified when the second user rejoins the call, and a bot associated with the first user can notify the first user that the second user has rejoined the telephone call.

    Abstract: Implementations are directed to using an automated assistant to initiate an assisted call on behalf of a given user. The assistant can, during the assisted call, receiving a request, from an additional user on the assisted call, for information that is not known to the assistant. In response, the assistant can render a prompt for the information and, while awaiting responsive input from the given user, continue the assisted call using already resolved value(s) for the assisted call. If responsive input is received within a threshold duration of time, synthesized speech, corresponding to the responsive input, is rendered as part of the assisted call. Implementations are additionally or alternatively directed to using the automated assistant to provide, during an ongoing call between a given user and an additional user, output that is based on a value requested by the additional user during the ongoing call.
