Abstract
Systems and methods for obfuscating and/or omitting potentially sensitive information in a spoken query before providing the query to a secondary automated assistant. A general automated assistant may be invoked by a user, followed by a query. The audio data can be processed to omit and/or obfuscate potentially sensitive information before providing one or more processed queries to secondary automated assistants based on a trust metric associated with each of the secondary automated assistants. The trust metric for a secondary automated assistant is indicative of trust in being provided with sensitive information. In response, the automated assistants can generate responses, which can be filtered to provide a response to the user.
