Naming the new ocis-agent extension: ideas wanted

[LukasHirt]

Hi everyone,

We’re building a new extension for ownCloud Infinite Scale (you might have seen demo in our public reviews already) and we need a proper name for it. Right now it’s called ocis-agent, which is a working title, and we’d like to settle on something better before the name spreads any further.

What it is

ocis-agent is an always-on personal agent for oCIS. It has two parts:

• a Go sidecar that runs next to oCIS and exposes a REST API under /agent-api/
• an oCIS Web extension (Vue 3 + TypeScript) that gives users the front end

Why we want a different name

• “Agent” is a very crowded word. It could mean a sync agent, a monitoring agent, an AI agent or half a dozen other things, and it doesn’t tell you what this one does.
• The name has to work for both the sidecar and the web extension, and it will show up in the container image, the AGENT_* environment variables, the /agent-api/ route, the extension ID and the docs. Renaming later is a pain, so we’d like to get it right now.

What makes a good name here

• Short and easy to type and say
• Distinct from existing ownCloud and oCIS components
• No clash with existing open source projects, products or trademarks
• Fits the ownCloud family of names without sounding generic

What we’d like from you

• Name ideas, including half-baked ones
• The reasoning or story behind a suggestion, if there is one
• Any conflicts you know of, such as an existing project with that name or a word with an unfortunate meaning in another language

Thanks in advance. No idea is too silly, and we’ll happily credit whoever comes up with the winning name.
