Display screen with transitional graphical user interface

Display screen or portion thereof with transitional graphical user interface

Techniques are described herein for leveraging information about a user to enable a personal assistant module to make various inferences about what actions that may be responsive to a user declaration. In various implementations, upon identifying a user declaration received at a computing device, a plurality of candidate responsive actions that can be initiated by the computing device in response to the user declaration may be identified. A single candidate responsive action may then be non-deterministically (e.g., randomly, stochastically) selected to be exclusively initiated on the computing device in response to the user declaration.

Nondeterministic task initiation by a personal assistant module

Disclosed are systems, methods, and devices for providing a layered user interface for one or more applications. A user-interface layer for a voice user interface is generated. The user-interface layer can be based on a markup-language-structured user-interface description for an application configured to execute on a computing device. The user-interface layer can include a command display of one or more voice-accessible commands for the application. The computing device can display at least the user-interface layer of the voice user interface. The computing device can receive an input utterance, obtain input text based upon speech recognition performed upon the input utterance, and determine that the input text corresponds to a voice-accessible command displayed as part of the command display. The computing device can execute the application to perform the command.
