Original Abstract Submitted
Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can perform operations to revert various applications to prior states that the applications may have arrived at via certain user inputs. The user can provide a spoken utterance such as, “undo,” in order to cause the automated assistant to identify a particular application that the user may want to affect with the “undo” command. When the particular application is identified, the automated assistant can identify one or more operations recently performed using the particular application. In some implementations, the automated assistant can provide the user with a variety of undo options in response to an “undo” command. For instance, the automated assistant can prompt the user to select one of a first cluster of operations and/or a second cluster of operations to be undone, and each cluster can refer to different operations.
