  text: In this paper we consider the interactive processes by which an explainer
    and an explainee cooperate to produce an explanation, which we refer to as co-construction.
    Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is concerned with the development of
    intelligent systems and robots that can explain and justify their actions, decisions,
    recommendations, and so on. However, the cooperative construction of explanations
    remains a key but under-explored issue. This short paper proposes an architecture
    for intelligent systems that promotes a co-constructive and interactive approach
    to explanation generation. By outlining its basic components and their specific
    roles, we aim to contribute to the advancement of XAI computational frameworks
    that actively engage users in the explanation process.
