Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for resuming a partially completed action that is to be performed by an automated assistant. The action can require the automated assistant to prompt the user to provide information that the automated assistant can use to complete the action. During a dialog session in which the user is providing the information, an event can occur that interferes with the completion of the action. In response, the automated assistant can cause any information obtained during the dialog session to be stored locally, in order that the automated assistant can resume completing the action at a later time. For instance, the user can be prompted by the automated assistant to complete the action, or the user can independently invoke the automated assistant to complete the action at a time that is convenient for the user.
