1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving speech input from a user of a smart device, the speech input requesting an action associated with a content item;
identifying a portion of the content item that satisfies the speech input; and
upon identifying the portion of the content item that satisfies the speech input, displaying the portion of the content item on the smart device in a displayable format that is adapted to a display characteristic of the smart device.

Abstract
Techniques for interacting with a portion of a content item through a virtual assistant are described herein. The techniques may include identifying a portion of a content item that is relevant to user input and causing an action to be performed related to the portion of the content item. The action may include, for example, displaying the portion of the content item on a smart device in a displayable format that is adapted to a display characteristic of the smart device, performing a task for a user that satisfies the user input, and so on.

8. One or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed, instruct one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving user input requesting an action associated a content item; identifying a portion of the content item that satisfies the user input; and upon identifying the portion of the content item that satisfies the user input, causing display of the portion of the content item on a smart device in a displayable format that is adapted to a display characteristic of the smart device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving user input requesting an action associated a content item; determining a portion of the content item that satisfies the user input, the determining being based at least in part on at least one of one or more tags that are associated with portions of the content item or an analysis of the portions of the content item; and upon determining the portion of the content item that satisfies the user input, utilizing the portion of the content item to perform the action requested by the user input, the action being performed at least in part by a virtual assistant. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving user input requesting an action associated with a content item; causing the user input and the content item to be output to a user to solicit feedback from the user; after causing the user input and content item to be output, receiving content identification input from the user identifying a portion of the content item that is relevant to the user input; and upon receiving the content identification input, assigning a tag to the portion of the content item, the tag indicating that the portion of the content item is relevant to a particular category or term associated with the user input. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26)

27. One or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed, instruct one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
outputting user input of a first user to a second user, the user input requesting an action associated with a content item; displaying the content item to the second user to solicit an identification of a portion of the content item that is related to the user input; receiving, from the second user, a selection of the portion of the content item that is related to the user input; and associating a tag with the portion of the content item based at least in part on the selection of the portion of the content item. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30)
