A customized method or algorithm for holding an interactive dialogue session between a (human) user and a machine (hereinafter referred to simply as a “dialogue”) is generated, such that the resulting dialogue advantageously responds to the user's requests and wherein the system's capability (i.e., the dialogue) is automatically modified thereafter based on dynamically changing external databases. Specifically, a computer system acts as a Dialogue Generator agent by creating such a customized dialogue consisting of services that are organized and presented in a form that is a combination of the user's expectations and the system's capabilities. In particular, the system's capabilities advantageously include the information content of database/service providers (such as, for example, a distributed information source such as the World Wide Web or a corporate file system), and the Dialogue Generator advantageously modifies the dialogue periodically in response to this dynamically changing external environment.
