Abstract

Devices and methods for invoking digital assistants are provided. An example method includes displaying, on a display, a virtual reality (“VR”) environment, wherein the VR environment includes a first avatar representing a domain-specific digital assistant, and wherein the domain-specific digital assistant corresponds to a first domain; and while displaying the first avatar within the VR environment: receiving a user voice input; determining whether the user voice input represents an intent to invoke the domain-specific digital assistant or an intent to invoke a second digital assistant; and in accordance with a determination that the user voice input represents an intent to invoke the second digital assistant: invoking the second digital assistant; determining, based on the user voice input, a first digital assistant response using the second digital assistant; and outputting, via a speaker, the first digital assistant response.
