We propose conversational interfaces as a convenient and complementary way for users to explore OSGi-based software architectures in immersive Augmented Reality (AR). By providing a conversational interface we aim to remedy some peculiarities of AR devices, but also enhancing the exploration task at hand. We exemplify a use case and sketch how different user utterances can be used to retrieve information about the to-be-explored OSGi-based software architecture. We identify crucial components such as natural language generation and intent recognition which are required to implement the user story and we outline the status of our implementation.
