Abstract
A voice assistant system may be configured to receive a spoken introduction from a trusted user to introduce a new user and designate access privileges for the new user. The voice assistant system may process the speech using automated speech recognition and may parse the text to determine intent. The voice assistant system may also analyze the speech to determine a profile associated with the speaker that spoke the introduction. The voice assistant system may determine that the trusted user includes administrative privileges. The access privileges, when granted, may allow the new user to interact with the voice assistant system, such as to issue commands, extract information, play media, and/or perform other actions with the voice assistant system, which may be unavailable to people who are not introduced to the voice assistant system by a trusted user and/or do not have the access privileges associated with a user profile.
