AI Assistant (Claude)
A Claude-powered AI assistant for Odoo: a chat assistant grounded in your data, one-click reports from any installed module, and scheduled weekly "who-changed-what" activity audits. Bring your own Anthropic (Claude) API key.
Data transmission & privacy (please read)
This module sends data to an external service. The records, report inputs and audit summaries you ask about are transmitted to Anthropic's API (api.anthropic.com) for processing by Claude.
- Nothing is sent until an administrator explicitly opts in under Settings → AI. Before that opt-in, no data leaves your Odoo instance.
- Privacy policy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy
- You use your own Anthropic API key; ETS does not proxy or store your data.
Treat enabling this module as authorizing outbound transmission of queried business data to Anthropic. Review the privacy policy and your own data-handling obligations before opting in.
Features
- Chat assistant grounded in your Odoo data, with tool access to search and read records.
- One-click reports generated from any installed module.
- Scheduled activity audits — a weekly "who changed what" summary.
- Security first: every AI-initiated database read runs under the requesting user's own access rights (ACLs and record rules). There is no generic "read any model" backdoor, and the core never uses
sudoto reach around a user's permissions. - Native-AI takeover is OFF by default — the module can optionally replace Odoo 19's built-in AI surface, but only if you turn that on.
- Docked chat box in the web client.
Configuration
1. Install the module (Python anthropic library required on the host — declared in external_dependencies). 2. Go to Settings → AI and opt in to external transmission (required before any data is sent). 3. Enter your Anthropic API key and choose a provider/model. 4. Optionally enable the native-AI takeover (off by default).
Limitations
- Requires an outbound connection to
api.anthropic.comand a valid Anthropic API key (bring your own). - Response quality and cost depend on the Anthropic model you choose and your usage.
- Data sent to Anthropic is processed under Anthropic's terms and privacy policy (linked above), not ETS's.
Tests
64 automated tests covering the consent gate, provider handling, report and audit flows, and the takeover suppression.
Screenshots: TODO (capture from staging).
