Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that provides a response for certain user queries based on a level of interaction of the user with respect to the automated assistant. Interaction can be characterized by sensor data, which can be processed using one or more trained machine learning models in order to identify parameters for generating a response. In this way, the response can be limited to preserve computational resources and/or ensure that the response is more readily understood given the amount of interaction exhibited by the user. In some instances, a response that embodies information that is supplemental, to an otherwise suitable response, can be provided when a user is exhibiting a particular level of interaction. In other instances, such supplemental information can be withheld when the user is not exhibiting that particular level of interaction, at least in order to preserve computational resources.
