Drill back to original audio clip in virtual assistant initiated lists and reminders

A method comprising:

• executing a virtual assistant platform on a first device, the virtual assistant platform configured to receive audio inputs on the first device and to initiate actions corresponding to the audio inputs;
• receiving, by the virtual assistant platform, a first audio input comprising a first request corresponding to a first action to be initiated by the virtual assistant platform;
• determining and storing, by the virtual assistant platform, contextual data associated with at least one of (a) a configuration of the first device and (b) one or more applications executing on the first device at a time when the first audio input was received;
• receiving, by the virtual assistant platform, a second request for audio playback of the first audio input;
• based at least on receiving the second request:
• retrieving, by the virtual assistant platform executing on the first device, at least a portion of the first audio input;
• retrieving, by the virtual assistant platform, the contextual data associated with at least one of (a) a configuration of the first device and (b) one or more applications executing on the first device at the time when the first audio input was received;
• and
• presenting, by the virtual assistant platform, the contextual data together with the portion of the first audio input in a user interface of the first device or a second device,
• wherein the contextual data comprises at least one of:
• geo-location data corresponding to a geo-location of the first device at the time when the first audio input was received;
• first application data corresponding to a first application being executed on the first device at the time when the first audio input was received;
• second application data corresponding to a second application that was a last application to be executed on the first device prior to the time when the first audio input was received;
• and
• device configuration data corresponding to a configuration of the first device at the time when the first audio input was received.

A system comprising:

• at least one device including a hardware processor;
• the system being configured to perform operations comprising:
• executing a virtual assistant platform on a first device, the virtual assistant platform configured to receive audio inputs on the first device and to initiate actions corresponding to the audio inputs;
• receiving, by the virtual assistant platform, a first audio input comprising a first request corresponding to a first action to be initiated by the virtual assistant platform;
• determining and storing, by the virtual assistant platform, contextual data associated with at least one of (a) a configuration of the first device and (b) one or more applications executing on the first device at a time when the first audio input was received;
• receiving, by the virtual assistant platform, a second request for audio playback of the first audio input;
• based at least on receiving the second request:
• retrieving, by the virtual assistant platform executing on the first device, at least a portion of the first audio input;
• retrieving, by the virtual assistant platform, the contextual data associated with at least one of (a) a configuration of the first device and (b) one or more applications executing on the first device at the time when the first audio input was received;
• and
• presenting, by the virtual assistant platform, the contextual data together with the portion of the first audio input in a user interface of the first device or a second device,
• wherein the contextual data comprises at least one of:
• geo-location data corresponding to a geo-location of the first device at the time when the first audio input was received;
• first application data corresponding to a first application being executed on the first device at the time when the first audio input was received;
• second application data corresponding to a second application that was a last application to be executed on the first device prior to the time when the first audio input was received;
• and
• device configuration data corresponding to a configuration of the first device at the time when the first audio input was received.
