Abstract
The following relates generally to voice assisted delivery of goods. In some embodiments, a digital assistant receives audio data, and determines an intent from the audio data. The digital assistant may then match the determined intent to a flow of a set of flows, where the set of flows may include at least one of: (i) requesting curbside pickup of an item, (ii) requesting locker storage of the item, (iii) requesting an indication of locations that the item is available, (iv) requesting an indication of an inventory of a retail store, (v) requesting ads for an additional item that is related to the item, (vi) requesting a status of an order for the item, (vii) requesting drone delivery of the item from a retail store to a residence, or (viii) requesting drone delivery of the item from a warehouse to the residence. The matched flow of the set of flows may then be executed.
