Abstract: The paper describes an application of agent oriented programming: an assistant program for everyday computer tasks like printing, converting, extracting etc. The assistant looks for services matching the users query, possibly delegates queries to other agents, loads new services over the net and offers its own services to other agents. We use Java as implementing language.

Keywords: Personal Assistant, Agent Oriented Techniques
