ARI is more for creating applications, traditionally written in c, that exist as modules within asterisk. For example, app_queue. However, because ARI is REST and WebSockets based, it's not dependant on language or location (can be hosted on a different machine). A use of ARI might be to write a replacement for app_queue, or confbridge or voicemail itself. If you wanted to interact with app_queue, you might use AGI/AMI, but you wouldn't use ARI. I hope that helps a little. >Sent from my Android - if my spelling, diction or grammar is poor, please don't think that I am an idiot!

ARI is more a replacement interface allowing you to create a voicemail application. So, as it stands to day, no existing applications in asterisk (app_queue, app_voicemail) are exposed. Eventually somebody will write a voicemail replacement, that is outside of asterisk (using ARI) and they will likely expose some API to allow 3rd party applications to provision them.
