Claim 14:
15. A computer program product comprising one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having program instructions collectively stored on the one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media, the program instructions executable to:
receive, from a first user of a first client device, by a first automated assistant executing on the first client device, a first query in a query session;
provide, by the first automated assistant, to the first user, a first set of search results for the first query;
determine a frequency of interaction, of a second user of the first client device, with the first client device;
determine a score for at least one term in the first query, wherein the score is determined based on an expected relevance of the at least one term to users of the first client device other than the first user, the expected relevance being based on a degree to which usage of an item associated with the at least one term is typically shared amongst multiple users;
determine, based on (i) the frequency of interaction of the second user with the first client device satisfying a threshold and (ii) the score for the at least one term in the first query, that the first query is relevant to the second user;
provide, by the first automated assistant, to the second user of the first client device, a selectable option to join the query session, in response to determining that the first query is relevant to the second user;
in response to receiving, from the second user, an indication of acceptance of the selectable option to join the query session, add the second user to the query session;
receive, from the second user, additional input to refine the first query;
generate, based on the additional input received from the second user, a modified set of search results; and
provide, by the first automated assistant, to the first user and the second user, the modified set of search results.
