More flour than flavour. There's a bagel in here, just not much of one.
Summary
Charlie Labs introduces Daemons, persistent AI agents designed to handle operational tasks (issue hygiene, CI repair, bug triage, docs maintenance) that pile up when coding agents generate code faster. Daemons work across GitHub, Linear, Slack, and Sentry, operating continuously based on role definitions written in Markdown by the team.
