Abstract
A conversation server stores a hosted conversation. The conversation has an attachment that is stored at the conversation server. The conversation has an automated participant, where the automated participant is a computer-implemented participant that operates in accordance with instructions stored on an automated participant server that is distinct from the conversation server. The conversation server provides the automated participant with access to the attachment and subsequently receives, from the automated participant, a request to modify the attachment. In response to the request, the conversation server modifies the attachment in accordance with the request.
