1. A method implemented using one or more processors, comprising:
in a human-to-computer dialog session between a user and an automated assistant, receiving a natural language input from the user;
processing the natural language input to determine that the user has requested information about a schedule of two or more events;
generating, and causing the automated assistant to incorporate into the human-to-computer dialog session, natural language output that conveys the requested information about the schedule of two or more events;
identifying, based on one or more of the events, information of potential interest to the user or one or more actions of potential interest to the user, wherein the identifying comprises searching one or more travel routes between locations of the two or more events;
generating unsolicited content indicative of the information of potential interest to the user or the one or more actions of potential interest, wherein the information of potential interest to the use comprises responsive content obtained from searching the one or more travel routes; and
based on a time interval between the two or more events satisfying a threshold, conditionally incorporating, into the existing human-to-computer dialog session, the unsolicited content.
