Automated assistant that proactively initiates modality change during conversation on behalf of user

A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:

• participating in a live conversation with an automated assistant application via first modality,
• wherein the automated assistant application participates in the live conversation on behalf of a separate entity;
• receiving, from the automated assistant application, a particular message in furtherance of continuing the live conversation via a second modality that is different than the first modality,
• wherein the particular message is provided by the automated assistant application based on the automated assistant application determining that the live conversation is being interrupted, or is expected to be interrupted;
• providing, in response to receiving the particular message, a responsive message that indicates an availability of an entity to continue the live conversation via the second modality;
• and
• receiving, from the automated assistant application, a subsequent message that is in furtherance of continuing the live conversation and fulfilling a request provided by the separate entity to the automated assistant application.

A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:

• receiving, by an automated assistant application, a request for the automated assistant application to initiate a live conversation with a separate entity,
• wherein the separate entity is different from an entity that provided the request to the automated assistant application, and
• wherein the automated assistant application is accessible via a computing device that is operated by the entity;
• causing, by a server device associated with the automated assistant application, the separate entity to receive a notification that indicates the separate entity is being requested to participate in the live conversation with the automated assistant application,
• wherein the notification is rendered at a separate computing device that is operated by the separate entity;
• determining, by the server device, that an interference to the live conversation is estimated to affect an ability of the automated assistant application to accurately interpret content of the live conversation;
• determining, by the server device, based on the interference to the live conversation, that the separate entity can continue the live conversation via a separate modality;
• providing, by the server device, a particular message to the separate entity in furtherance of fulfilling the request,
• wherein the particular message is rendered via an instance of the separate modality of the separate computing device or another computing device;
• receiving, at the computing device and via the separate modality, a responsive message that includes information responsive to the request;
• and
• causing, by the automated assistant application, the information included in the responsive message to be rendered, via the separate modality, to the entity in furtherance of fulfilling the request.
