In the present disclosure, remote participation is described in terms of remotely sending text messages via chat entry box 183, but remote participation may more generally include sending audiovisual data (e.g., voice/video call data) for listening/viewing by other (local and/or remote) conference participants, e.g., by outputting audio data at a speaker of computerized intelligent assistant 1300 and/or by displaying video data at a companion device. Similarly, although expanded view 180 of remote user device 172 depicts a text-based interface including a text transcript of the conference, a remote user device may alternately or additionally output audiovisual data (e.g., real-time speech audio and video of a local participant who is currently speaking).
