    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for automated assistants that search various alternative corpora for information. In various implementations, a method may include receiving, by an automated assistant via an input component of a first client device, a free form input, wherein the free form input includes a request for specific information; searching a general purpose corpus of online documents to obtain a first set of candidate response(s) to the request for specific information; searching a user-specific corpus of active document(s) to obtain a second set of candidate response(s) to the request for specific information; comparing the first and second sets of candidate responses; based on the comparing, selecting a given response to the request for specific information from the first or second set; and providing, by the automated assistant, output indicative of the given response.

    Abstract: Techniques described herein enable a user to interact with an automated assistant and obtain relevant output from the automated assistant without requiring arduous typed input to be provided by the user and/or without requiring the user to provide spoken input that could cause privacy concerns (e.g., if other individuals are nearby). The assistant application can operate in multiple different image conversation modes in which the assistant application is responsive to various objects in a field of view of the camera. The image conversation modes can be suggested to the user when a particular object is detected in the field of view of the camera. When the user selects an image conversation mode, the assistant application can thereafter provide output, for presentation, that is based on the selected image conversation mode and that is based on object(s) captured by image(s) of the camera.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are set forth for generating and/or utilizing image shortcuts that cause one or more corresponding computer actions to be performed in response to determining that one or more features are present in image(s) from a camera of a computing device of a user (e.g., present in a real-time image feed from the camera). An image shortcut can be generated in response to user interface input, such as a spoken command. For example, the user interface input can direct the automated assistant to perform one or more actions in response to object(s) having certain feature(s) being present in a field of view of the camera. Subsequently, when the user directs their camera at object(s) having such feature(s), the assistant application can cause the action(s) to be automatically performed. For example, the assistant application can cause data to be presented and/or can control a remote device in accordance with the image shortcut.
