    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for incorporating application links into message exchange threads. One or more cues emanating from a message exchange thread involving two or more message exchange clients may be detected. The one or more cues may trigger incorporation, into the message exchange thread, of a selectable link to a distinct application. At least one candidate application that is installed on a given client computing device operated by a message exchange thread participant may be identified. The candidate application may be associated with content of the message exchange thread. A selectable link may be incorporated into a transcript of the message exchange thread displayed in a graphical user interface of a message exchange client operating on the given client computing device. The selectable link may be operable by the participant to expose to the participant an interface associated with a respective candidate application.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving a query provided from a user device, and determining that the query implicitly references some entity, and in response: obtaining an approximate location and an approximate orientation of the user device, obtaining a set of entities including one or more entities, each entity in the set of entities being at least partially within a range that is based on the approximate location and that includes an extended portion based on the approximate orientation, selecting an entity from the set of entities, and providing a revised query based on the query and the entity, the revised query explicitly referencing the entity.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for processing queries relating to presented media content are provided. In some implementations, a method comprises: receiving a request to associate with a media playback device that is presenting media content to a user of the mobile device, wherein a mobile application executing on the mobile device and a media application executing on the media playback device exchange media playback information; activating a microphone associated with the mobile device to receive ambient sounds in response to associating with the media playback device; converting the received ambient sounds to one or more text inputs; determining whether the text inputs include a trigger term that corresponds to a request to initiate a query relating to the presented media content and the query; in response to determining that the trigger term has been included in the text inputs, determining the media playback information from the media application that includes timing information corresponding to when during the presentation of the media content the query was received and media content identification information; causing a search to be performed that includes the query, the timing information, and the media content identification information; obtaining a search result that is responsive to the query; and presenting at least a portion of the search result to the query on a mobile display associated with the mobile device.

    Abstract: An example method includes receiving, by a computational assistant executing at one or more processors, a representation of an utterance spoken at a computing device; identifying, based on the utterance, a task to be performed by the computational assistant; responsive to determining, by the computational assistant, that complete performance of the task will take more than a threshold amount of time, outputting, for playback by one or more speakers operably connected to the computing device, synthesized voice data that informs a user of the computing device that complete performance of the task will not be immediate; and performing, by the computational assistant, the task.
