Joining executable component to online conference

A method for joining executable components into an online conversation, the method comprising:

• generating a user interface comprising at least:
• a first user interface portion that displays a separate visualization for each of a plurality of participants in the online conversation;
• and
• a second user interface portion that is visually separated from the first user interface portion, and that concurrently includes separate visualizations for each of one or more individuals and each of one or more executable components that can each be added to the online conversation as participants;
• and
• adding participants into the online conversation, including:
• adding a particular executable component to the online conversation as a participant;
• and
• based at least on adding the particular executable component, causing an action, which is defined by executable code of the particular executable component, to be performed within the online conversation.

A computer program product comprising one or more hardware storage devices having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that are structured such that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, the computer-executable instructions cause the computing system to at least:

• generate a user interface comprising at least:
• a first user interface portion that displays a separate visualization for each of a plurality of participants in an online conversation;
• and
• a second user interface portion that is visually separated from the first user interface portion, and that concurrently includes separate visualizations for each of one or more individuals and each of one or more executable components that can each be added to the online conversation as participants;
• and
• add participants into the online conversation, including at least:
• detect an add gesture, the add gesture representing that an individual or executable component from the second user interface portion is to be added to the online conversation;
• based on detecting the add gesture, adding a particular executable component to the online conversation as a participant;
• and
• based at least on adding the particular executable component, causing an action, that is defined by executable code of the particular executable component, to be performed within the online conversation.
