Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. For example, an electronic device can provide an output in an audio, visual, or mixed mode. In one example process, an output mode is selected, and, in response to determining that an output is to be provided to a user, an output data structure is obtained. The output data structure includes pattern components sorted into output groups. At least one pattern component from at least one output group is selected based on the output mode and provided in the output to the user.
