Intelligent automated assistant

A method for implementing an automated assistant on one or more computing devices having one or more processors and memory, the method comprising:

• at the one or more computing devices:
• invoking the automated assistant;
• causing a first output to be displayed, wherein the first output comprises a plurality of core competencies of the automated assistant and an example of a natural language input for invoking each of the plurality of core competencies;
• at an input device, receiving user input;
• interpreting the received user input to derive a representation of user intent;
• identifying at least one task based at least in part on the derived representation of user intent;
• calling at least one service for performing the identified task;
• and
• causing a second output to be displayed based on data received from the at least one called service;
• wherein the first output is displayed prior to receiving the user input.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for implementing an automated assistant on one or more computing devices, the computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to perform operations comprising:

• invoking the automated assistant;
• causing a first output to be displayed in a conversation interface of the automated assistant, wherein the first output comprises a plurality of core competencies of the automated assistant and an example of a natural language input for invoking each of the plurality of core competencies;
• at an input device, receiving user input;
• interpreting the received user input to derive a representation of user intent;
• identifying at least one task based at least in part on the derived representation of user intent;
• calling at least one service for performing the identified task;
• and
• causing a second output to be displayed based on data received from the at least one called service;
• wherein the first output is displayed prior to receiving the user input.
