but they explain it is from the greek nous which fits better for ai
I was surprised when I learned about the Greek derivation. In the UK it's slang for common sense ("use your nous, mate"). I have to wonder how a bit of Ancient Greek ended up as UK slang.
If this isn't by Nous Research, may want to consider renaming ( https://x.com/NousResearch , https://nousresearch.com/ )

Where in the UK is this a thing?
A quick dip into Google Books throws back this from the works of George Garrett, a Liverpool-born working class writer who wrote about being a merchant seaman during World War I: "An older fireman stopped them. 'Use your nous,' he sang out. 'You can't pile into another room and waken all hands for the sake of an individual."
Or this from The Spectator in the 80s: "Use your nous, you silly cow"

And if it is is by Nous Research we there definitely needs to be clearer branding as this is very confusing. If OP is not Nous Research (which I suspect to be the case) then a name change is a must as they're already a fairly well established company in the LLM space (surprised OP isn't aware of the name collision already). It's a bit similar to creating a new library with the "Smiling Face with Open Hands emoji"[0]…
Never heard of you
And this framework kinda does fall within that space

So an agent here is the combination of a system prompt and a configured set of tools, kind of like an OpenAI "GPT"?
No, a chat bot using tools (e.g. GPTs) is an "assistant." An LLM agent is not a chat bot, unlike an assistant. It is a primarily or fully autonomous LLM driven application which "chats" primarily with itself and/or other agents. In other words, assistants primarily interact with humans while agents primarily interact with themselves and other agents.
