1. A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:
identifying, using credentials for a user, multiple computing devices associated with the credentials, the multiple computing devices including a first computing device, a second computing device, and a third computing device;
determining an automated assistant operation that is to be performed;
in response to determining the automated assistant operation:
selecting, from the multiple computing devices and based on the automated assistant operation, the second computing device for the automated assistant operation; and
causing the first computing device to visually render, at a graphical user interface of the first computing device:
a second selectable element with a second representation of the second computing device,
wherein the second selectable element with the second representation of the second computing device is rendered responsive to selecting the second computing device for the automated assistant operation; and
wherein the second selectable element includes text that identifies the operation that is to be performed by the second computing device;
determining occurrence of a selection, via the graphical user interface, of the second selectable element; and
in response to determining the occurrence of the selection of the second selectable element:
causing the automated assistant operation to be performed at the second computing device, and
providing an additional selectable element at a second graphical user interface of the second computing device, the additional selectable element being selectable via a spoken utterance provided by the user to cause the automated assistant at the second computing device to perform one or more additional operations.
