Mira — new hire

“I need 3 days off next month.”

Mira sends a WhatsApp message. OdooPilot checks her balance, files the leave request in Odoo, and tells her HR has been notified. She never opens Odoo. Her manager gets the approval prompt on Telegram seconds later.

Carlos — line manager

“Approve Mira’s leave.”

Carlos taps Yes, approve on the inline button while in a meeting. The leave is approved in Odoo, Mira is notified, and the audit log records exactly who did what and when.

Aisha — sales rep on the road

“Move ACME deal to Negotiation, expected EUR 12k.”

Right after the customer meeting, before the details fade, Aisha updates the pipeline from her car. The CRM is current; her manager’s pipeline review on Monday isn’t a fiction.

Jin — warehouse picker

“Validate transfer WH/OUT/0042.”

Jin confirms the picking right at the dock door — no walk back to the workstation, no re-keying. The stock move posts immediately and downstream invoicing isn’t blocked.

100% Free — forever

No purchase, no subscription, no vendor lock-in. Competitors charge EUR 200–355 for read-only access to a single channel. OdooPilot is LGPL-3 open-source — install, fork, customise freely.

Write actions, not just queries

Every competing free Odoo AI tool is read-only. OdooPilot can confirm sale orders, approve leaves, move CRM stages, and create leads — with a mandatory Yes / No safety gate before any record changes.

Both channels: Telegram & WhatsApp

Most competitors support only Telegram. OdooPilot ships native integrations for both Telegram and WhatsApp Cloud API — your team uses whichever they already have on their phones.

Your data stays on your server

No third-party cloud layer. OdooPilot runs entirely inside your Odoo instance — your business data never leaves your infrastructure, satisfying even strict data-residency requirements.

Every employee

Apply for leave, log expenses, check their tasks — from the chat app already open on their phone. No app to install, no password to remember.

Managers on the move

Approve leaves, confirm sale orders, validate transfers — from a meeting, an airport, or the school run. Inline Yes / No buttons make it one tap.

Field & warehouse staff

Sales reps in the field, drivers between deliveries, pickers on the dock floor — capture work in Odoo at the moment it happens, not at end of day.

IT & developers

LGPL-3 codebase. Add custom tools, swap LLM providers, plug into your existing audit trail. Self-hosted — data never leaves your infrastructure.

Daily task digest

Sends each linked user their overdue and today's tasks every morning at 08:00 UTC. Never miss a deadline again.

Overdue invoice alerts

Sends accounting users a daily overdue invoice summary at 09:00 UTC. Cash flow visibility without opening Odoo.

Send a message

Type naturally in Telegram or WhatsApp. “Show me overdue invoices” or “Approve John's leave.”

LLM understands

The LLM parses intent and selects the right Odoo tool. Context-aware — remembers earlier turns in the conversation.

Odoo executes

For reads: instant reply. For writes: a clear confirmation prompt appears first. You say Yes or No.

Result in chat

Formatted, human-readable reply arrives in seconds. No app-switching, no Odoo login required.

Is OdooPilot really free?

Yes, 100%. LGPL-3 licence. No in-app purchases, no hidden tiers, no SaaS fees. You only pay for LLM API calls if you choose a paid provider (Claude, OpenAI). Groq's free tier requires no credit card at all.

Does it work with Odoo Community?

Yes — designed and tested on Odoo 18 Community. Enterprise should also work out-of-the-box since OdooPilot uses only standard Odoo APIs.

Can I use a local AI model?

Yes. Select “Ollama” as the provider, point OdooPilot at your local Ollama endpoint, and your Odoo data never leaves your server. Zero API cost.

Is it safe to allow write actions?

Every write action triggers a confirmation message with Yes / No buttons before any data is modified. The AI cannot change Odoo records without your explicit approval for each action. The confirmation prompt shows the resolved record's full name — not the raw argument string — so you always see what you are about to mutate.

Can multiple users connect?

Yes. Each Telegram / WhatsApp user is mapped to an Odoo user. Access is controlled by standard Odoo permissions — users only see data they are already authorised to see.

How long does setup take?

Typically under 15 minutes: install the module, add your bot token, add your LLM API key, click “Register webhook”. Full step-by-step guide on GitHub.
