What had to work
ERP users often need fast answers that require navigating multiple models, reports and business documents. The goal is to provide useful AI assistance without bypassing Odoo permissions or data-privacy controls.
How Odoo was shaped around it
- Contextual assistance inside Odoo
- Natural-language business queries and ERP data summarization
- Support for OpenAI, DeepSeek and self-hosted language models
- Configurable access controls around AI-assisted actions
- Foundation for intelligent workflow execution
Technical implementation
- Secure API integrations
- Odoo ORM-based contextual data retrieval
- Provider-selectable LLM architecture
- Access-controlled prompt context and workflow design
Operational result
This project is currently in development and is intended to provide practical AI assistance while keeping business data access governed by Odoo configuration and permissions.
