    • Questions about Automated Telephone Call System:**

1. How does the system ensure user privacy and security during automated calls? 2. What measures are in place to handle unexpected situations or errors during automated calls?


Original Abstract Submitted

Some implementations receive user input from a user to initiate a telephone call with an entity, and determine whether a voice assistant is able to automate the telephone call with the entity on behalf of the user. In response to determining that the voice assistant is able to automate the telephone call with the entity, these implementations can, prior to the telephone call being initiated, cause an automated telephone call suggestion element to be rendered via the client device. In response to receiving a user selection of the automated telephone call suggestion element, these implementations can determine a task to be performed on behalf of the user during the telephone call, and cause the voice assistant to initiate and conduct the telephone call to perform the task on behalf of the user.
