    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for automated assistants that proactively provide content to participant(s) of multi-participant message exchange threads (e.g., group chats, audio and/or video calls in which oral messages are transcribed for analysis, etc.) based on signals such as individual participant profiles associated with participant(s). In various implementations, automated assistant(s) that may not be explicitly invoked may analyze content of a message exchange thread involving multiple human participants and/or document(s) associated with the message exchange thread. Based on the analyzing, the automated assistant(s) may identify topic(s) pertinent to the message exchange thread. Based on individual participant profiles associated with the participants, the automated assistant(s) may identify shared interest(s) of the participants. The automated assistant(s) may then select new content based both on the pertinent topic(s) and the shared interest(s) of the participants and proactively provide the new content to one or more of the participants.

    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.

    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, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for: operating an instance of a personal assistant module to serve a user while the user operates the client computing device, wherein the instance of the personal assistant module has access to a persistent record of a message exchange thread between the user and instance(s) of the personal assistant module; detecting cue(s) emanating from the persistent message exchange thread; identifying candidate application(s) that are installed on a client computing device operated by the user, wherein the candidate application(s) are associated with content of the message exchange thread; and incorporating, into a transcript of the message exchange thread that is displayed in a graphical user interface rendered on the client computing device, selectable link (operable by the user to cause the client computing device to expose to the user an interface associated with a respective candidate application.

    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for allowing automated assistants serving users to access data controlled by others, including resources available to automated assistants serving others. In various implementations, a voice input may be received from a first user. A task request may be recognized from the voice input and analyzed. In response to the analysis, a determination may be made that the task request relates to a second user. An access control list relating to an automated assistant engaged by the second user may be checked to determine whether the first user has appropriate access rights as regards the second user. In response to determining that the first user has appropriate access rights as regards the second user, action may be taken on the task request.
