    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.

    Abstract: Implementations are directed to utilizing an assistant to automatically navigate an interactive voice response (IVR) tree to arrive at a target state during an assisted telephone call. The assistant can receive input to initiate the assisted telephone call, identify an entity to engage with, on behalf of the user, and during the assisted telephone call, based on the input, and identify an IVR tree stored in association with the entity. In various implementations, navigation of the IVR tree can be modified based on interaction(s) detected at a client device subsequent to initiating the assisted telephone call. In various implementations, the assisted telephone call can be initiated from a search interface, and the target state can be associated with a given search result. In various implementations, the IVR tree can be dynamic in that only a subset of candidate state(s) of the IVR tree may be available as the target state.
