Implementations relate to an automated assistant that is responsive, without requiring an invocation phrase or other invocation input(s), to certain spoken utterances when certain display content is being accessed by a user. The display content can be processed to identify certain inputs and/or other intents and parameters that are associated with assistant operations and are relevant to the display content. Thereafter, the automated assistant can determine whether any spoken utterances from the user correspond to those certain inputs, intents, and/or parameters. In response to receiving such a spoken utterance, the automated assistant can initialize performance of the relevant operation without necessitating that the user provides a preceding invocation phrase or other invocation input(s). When other display content is being accessed, the automated assistant can repeat the process for other inputs and operations.

The presentation of an automated assistant response may be selectively pre-empted in response to a hot-word free utterance that is received during the presentation and that is determined to be likely directed to the automated assistant. The determination that the utterance is likely directed to the automated assistant may be performed, for example, using an utterance classification operation that is performed on audio data received during presentation of the response, and based upon such a determination, the response may be pre-empted with another response associated with the later-received utterance. In addition, the duration that is used to determine when a session should be terminated at the conclusion of a conversation between a user and an automated assistant may be dynamically controlled based upon when the presentation of a response has completed.
