Implementations are described herein for analyzing existing interactive web sites to facilitate automatic engagement with those web sites, e.g., by automated assistants or via other user interfaces, with minimal effort from the hosts of those websites. For example, in various implementations, techniques described herein may be used to abstract, validate, maintain, generalize, extend and/or distribute individual actions and 'traces' of actions that are useable to navigate through various interactive websites. Additionally, techniques are described herein for leveraging these actions and/or traces to automate aspects of interaction with a third party website. For example, in some implementations, techniques described herein may enable users to engage with an automated assistant (via a spoken or typed dialog session) to interact with the third party web site without requiring the user to visually interact with the third party web site directly and without requiring the third party to implement their own third party agent.
