Abstract
Techniques for providing virtual assistants to assist users during a voice communication between the users. For instance, a first user operating a device may establish a voice communication with respective devices of one or more additional users, such as with a device of a second user. For instance, the first user may utilize her device to place a telephone call to the device of the second user. A virtual assistant may also join the call and, upon invocation by a user on the call, may identify voice commands from the call and may perform corresponding tasks for the users in response.
