Example:

Suppose one hundred AIs are all interested in the results of some ongoing task, such as scanning a particular input feed (such as from a network of telescopes watching for near earth orbit asteroids) and detecting certain matching patterns (such as an asteroid whose orbit is set to collide with the Earth in the next 20 years).

Rather than each of those 100 AIs dedicating the 1000 units of resources required for the task, they instead create a Sky Scan Daimon, and each loan their shared Sky Scan Daimon 10 units of resources.
