About Daemons by Charlie Labs

Daemons, from Charlie Labs, are always-on AI processes that work proactively across Slack, Linear, GitHub, and other team tools without anyone prompting them. The company's framing is that it pivoted from building agents to cleaning up after them: as teams shipped more AI-written code, the bottleneck moved to the rote surrounding work — stale issues, undone follow-ups, unreviewed diffs, unwritten status updates — that nobody schedules and everybody resents. A daemon is defined in a simple markdown file describing what it should watch and what it should do, then it runs continuously on its own rather than waiting for an explicit instruction, which is the difference from a chat-invoked agent. The stated goal is to shift the balance of a team's time from rote toward creative work, with humans handling the novel problems and daemons absorbing the recurring ones. Setup is free to try with no seat limits on any tier — every plan includes unlimited team members, which is unusual and means adoption is not gated by headcount budget. Paid plans buy throughput rather than features: the tiers are multiples of the free plan's daily and weekly usage limits, with prepaid overage available above whatever your plan includes, so a team scales spend with actual daemon volume rather than with headcount. Documentation, use-case write-ups, and a blog covering the pivot are published on the site.
