Artificial Intelligence in Odoo

What Can We Do?


There’s been a lot of talk about artificial intelligence in many places, but we believe it's important to show **what we can actually do**, and to provide small, practical examples to help us become familiar with the technology.

In the video we’re sharing, we want to show you a way to integrate AI into your **daily workflow**. In this particular example, we take a project task and use AI to enrich it by returning useful information directly into the task record.

Of course, this is just one example of what's possible. Soon, we’ll be adding more use cases—like more complex actions or AI-powered chats inside Odoo.

Tools Used

In this example, we’ve used:

  • Ollama: A system that lets us run different LLMs locally.
  • n8n: An orchestration tool designed with AI workflows in mind.
  • OCA AI Modules: Community-developed modules that help us integrate AI into Odoo more easily.

Challenges

When building systems like this, there are some important points to keep in mind:

  • Privacy and security
  • Infrastructure requirements: AI systems often need powerful servers or hardware.
  • Previous knowledge: These workflows require solid understanding of the environment, and how to design effective prompts.

Next Steps

Since these are open-source tools, anyone can start building their own system today. The only limit is our imagination.
