Abstract

An illustrative method includes a voice agent system establishing a plurality of user-agent conversations, wherein each user-agent conversation between a user and the voice agent system is established in response to the user speaking a trigger word and the plurality of user-agent conversations continue simultaneously in a same physical area, detecting an utterance in an audio stream associated with the physical area, determining, based on the utterance, that the utterance potentially belongs to a particular user-agent conversation among the plurality of user-agent conversations and determining a confidence score that the utterance belongs to the particular user-agent conversation, identifying a candidate action to be performed by the voice agent system based on the utterance, determining an overall confidence score of the candidate action based on the confidence score that the utterance belongs to the particular user-agent conversation, and performing an operation based on the overall confidence score of the candidate action.
