Identification and processing of commands by digital assistants in group device environments

A system for executing a voice command by a digital assistant in a group device environment, comprising:

• a memory for storing executable program code;
• and
• one or more processors, functionally coupled to the memory, the one or more processors being responsive to computer-executable instructions contained in the program code and operative to:
• determine that a computing device has signed into an event associated with an electronic calendar application;
• create, based on the event, a cluster comprising a plurality of computing devices associated with the event, wherein each of the plurality of computing devices is integrated with a digital assistant;
• receive a verbal command issued by a member of the event, the verbal command comprising a request to surface first content;
• determine a privacy level based on analyzing the first content;
• cause, based on the determined privacy level, a prompt to be surfaced on a computing device associated with a user account of the member that issued the verbal command, the prompt comprising a selectable user interface element for confirming that the first content should be surfaced to one or more computing devices of the cluster;
• receive a selection on the selectable user interface element corresponding to a first computing device of the one or more computing devices of the cluster;
• and
• cause the first content to be surfaced by the first computing device.

A computer-readable storage device comprising executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, assist with executing a voice command by a digital assistant in a group device environment, the computer-readable storage device including instructions executable by the one or more processors for:

• determining a start time for an event in a calendar application associated with each of a plurality of computing devices;
• creating, based on the determination, a cluster comprising the plurality of computing devices associated with the event, wherein each of the plurality of computing devices is integrated with a digital assistant;
• assigning one of the plurality of computing devices as an arbitrator device of the cluster;
• disabling, upon assignment of the arbitrator device, each digital assistant on each of the other computing devices of the cluster from responding to verbal commands for the duration of the cluster;
• receiving a verbal command from a member of the event, the verbal command comprising a request to surface first content;
• determining a privacy level based on analyzing the first content;
• causing, based on the determined privacy level, a prompt to be surfaced on a computing device associated with a user account of the member that issued the verbal command, the prompt comprising a selectable user interface element for confirming that the first content should be surfaced to one or more computing devices of the cluster;
• receiving a selection on the selectable user interface element corresponding to a first computing device of the one or more computing devices of the cluster;
• and
• causing the first content to be surfaced by the first computing device.
