The paper presents a daemon-based approach to office programming systems. Daemons are “agents” users create to automate their tasks. They can be seen as user assistants which are able to recognize when their activation is required. Daemons can be exemplarly defined, by supplying them with concrete examples of what they will be asked to do, and are useful to support the individual work as well as to automate in a decentralized, “bottom-up” fashion complex office procedures. In fact, since they are independent pieces of code, they seem well suited for programming systems which are 'incrementally' developed by different users. A facility for “run-time” exception handling is also discussed.
