Patent ID: 10636418

Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media are described related to automated assistants that proactively incorporate, into human-to-computer dialog sessions, unsolicited content of potential interest to a user. In various implementations, in an existing human-to-computer dialog session between a user and an automated assistant, it may be determined that the automated assistant has responded to all natural language input received from the user. Based on characteristic(s) of the user, information of potential interest to the user or action(s) of potential interest to the user may be identified. Unsolicited content indicative of the information of potential interest to the user or the action(s) may be generated and incorporated by the automated assistant into the existing human-to-computer dialog session. In various implementations, the incorporating may be performed in response to the determining that the automated assistant has responded to all natural language input received from the user during the human-to-computer dialog session.
