1. A conversational computing system, comprising:

  • a multi-modal CUI (conversational user interface) manager, operatively connected to a plurality of I/O (input/output) renderers, which can receive input queries and input events across different user interface modalities of different active applications and generate output messages and output events in connection with the active applications in one or more of the different user interface modalities;

    a conversational kernel for generating multi-modal dialogs in response to the input queries and input events, and for managing context associated with the active applications;

    a conversational API (application program interface) for providing an interface between the active applications and the conversational kernel;

    a plurality of I/O resources; and

    an I/O API for interfacing with the plurality of I/O resources and for registering the plurality of I/O resources with the conversational kernel.
