This document summarizes a presentation about improvements to Gradle's daemon feature in version 3.0. The daemon runs as a long-lived background process to speed up builds. New features include the daemon being enabled by default, being more robust on Windows, and integrating with build scans. The daemon also becomes more resource-aware and intelligent over time through machine learning. Users are encouraged to try the new daemon features and provide feedback to further improve Gradle's performance.
