Interpreting the Request Phrase 8
The Assistant can attempt to complete an action only if it can construe one
from the phrase the user writes or selects before tapping the Assist button.
The Assistant is pre-programmed to know certain verbs that describe actions
in the built-in applications. It can associate multiple verbs with a single action.
For example, the Assistant performs the same task if given the word “phone,”
“call,” or “dial.” Applications can add words to the Assistant’s lexicon, but
users cannot.
1. User selects written action request and taps
Assist button
2. Assistant attempts to complete the requested
action
