Claim 12:
13. A method of inserting supplemental audio content into primary audio content via digital assistant applications, comprising:
maintaining, by a data processing system having one or more processors, on a database, an audio recording of a content publisher and a content spot marker set by the content publisher, the content spot marker specifying a content spot defining a time or time window within the audio recording;
receiving, by the data processing system, an audio data packet including an input audio signal that is detected by a sensor of a client device;
parsing, by the data processing system, the input audio signal from the audio data packet to determine that the input audio signal corresponds to a request for the audio recording from the content publisher;
identifying, by the data processing system, based on the request determined from the input audio signal, the audio recording of the content publisher from the database;
identifying, by the data processing system, responsive to determining that the input audio signal corresponds to the request for the audio recording, an identifier associated with the client device as a content selection parameter;
selecting, by the data processing system, for the content spot of the audio recording, an audio content item of a content provider from a plurality of audio content items using the content selection parameter;
inserting, by the data processing system, the audio content item into the content spot of the audio recording that defines the time specified by the content spot marker;
generating, by the data processing system, an action data structure including the audio recording inserted with audio content item at the time defined by the content spot marker; and
transmitting, by the data processing system, the action data structure to the client device to present the audio recording inserted with the audio content item at the content spot.
