Description, status updates, tasks with stage and assignees, and the full chatter with notes and changes.
What if your ERP answered when you asked?
Odoo in a conversation instead of a menu
Section titled “Odoo in a conversation instead of a menu”Odoo knows almost everything about a company: projects, tasks, quotes, invoices, contacts and open activities. Finding it, though, means clicking through many menus, filters and views.
With the Odoo connection for LIVOI, you simply ask: “What happened on the Hall 3 project this week?” or “Create an opportunity for Müller GmbH and remind me to call back on Friday.” The agent reads the relevant data, summarizes it and, if asked, creates new records, each with a direct link into Odoo.

What the agent can do in Odoo
Section titled “What the agent can do in Odoo”Overdue, due today and upcoming activities, grouped by employee – ideal for the daily stand-up.
Status, amounts, line items, due dates and outstanding balance – without opening the accounting view.
Create and update opportunities for existing customers and schedule activities with an owner and due date.
15-second demo: daily, project status and a new opportunity
Section titled “15-second demo: daily, project status and a new opportunity”Safe, not full access
Section titled “Safe, not full access”An agent with unrestricted write access to the ERP would be a risk. The connection is therefore deliberately narrow:
- No generic access: the agent can only use the approved queries and actions, not arbitrary Odoo methods.
- Limited write permissions: only opportunities and activities are created or changed, with a fixed field list. No contacts are created, nothing is deleted.
- Odoo permissions still apply: the connection uses a technical user with minimal rights, and Odoo’s access rules apply on top.
- Traceable: every call is visible in the chat, every record is linked.
