Techniques are described herein for delegation of request fulfillment, by an assistant, to other devices. A method includes: receiving, by a first device, a request from a first user; identifying, based on the request from the first user, (i) an action corresponding to the request and (ii) a first parameter corresponding to the action; determining that fulfillment of the action is to be delegated to a device other than the first device; in response: selecting, as the device other than the first device, a second device on which an application corresponding to the action is installed; identifying, by the first device, based on the first parameter and information associated with an account of the first user, a first disambiguated parameter corresponding to the action; and sending, to the second device, a command that specifies the action and the first disambiguated parameter, to cause the second device to fulfill the action.

Assistant delegation of request fulfillment to other devices

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for detecting a continued conversation are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving first audio data of a first utterance. The actions further include obtaining a first transcription of the first utterance. The actions further include receiving second audio data of a second utterance. The actions further include obtaining a second transcription of the second utterance. The actions further include determining whether the second utterance includes a query directed to a query processing system based on analysis of the second transcription and the first transcription or a response to the first query. The actions further include configuring the data routing component to provide the second transcription of the second utterance to the query processing system as a second query or bypass routing the second transcription.
