US Patent 11488597 Document creation and editing via automated assistant interactions

Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that allows a user to create, edit, and/or share documents without directly interfacing with a document editing application. The user can provide an input to the automated assistant in order to cause the automated assistant to interface with the document editing application and create a document. In order to identify a particular action to perform with respect to a document, and/or identify a particular subsection within the document to direct the action, the automated assistant can rely on semantic annotations. As a user continues to interact with the automated assistant to edit a document, the semantic annotations can be updated according to how the document is changing and/or how the user refers to the document. This can allow the automated assistant to more readily fulfill document-related requests that may lack express details.
