1. A computer-implemented method for predicting and learning carrier phrases for speech input, comprising:

  • receiving, from a user, a first speech input comprising a first command;

    determining, by a carrier phrase module, whether the first command corresponds to a known carrier phrase by comparing at least a portion of the first command to a list of known carrier phrases, each known carrier phrase corresponding to at least one computer-implemented action;

    in response to determining that the first command corresponds to a known carrier phrase,causing at least one link to be displayed, each link actuatable to initiate the at least one computer-implemented action corresponding to the known carrier phrase;

    monitoring user activity with respect to the displayed at least one link; and

    updating, by the carrier phrase application, a relevance score associated with the known carrier phrase based on the monitored user activity;

    receiving a second speech input comprising the first command; and

    causing at least one link to be displayed according to the updated relevance score,wherein the carrier phrase module is implemented in a computer system that comprises instructions stored in a machine-readable medium and a processor that executes the instructions.
