Abstract
When an on-device artificial intelligence agent is active at the same time as a primary application, the user interface of the AI agent and the primary application are typically overlaid one on top of the other, such that only one is usable at a time. Also, when a user provides a query to an AI agent, no fine-grained control is available for interaction. There is no feature to display the working of the agent or for the user to guide the AI agent. No fine-grained control for agent interactions is available. This disclosure describes techniques that utilize multiple screens (or display areas) to provide a dedicated surface for users to interact with an AI agent without disrupting user interactions with other applications. When an AI agent is launched, it can remain as a persistent open application in one of the display areas while other display areas are utilized by one or more other applications. Partitioning available display space in this manner allows the user to interact with the AI agent and the primary application at the same time, enables the AI agent to proactively provide suggestions related to the primary application, or automatically activate assistive features. The described techniques improve the user experience of interacting with an AI agent by smart allocation of available display space.
