The long-form work, when an article is not enough
Articles answer a question. A guide answers a project. Both are built the same way — on instances we run, with numbers we measured.
AI Inside Odoo
What Odoo's AI actually does once it is pointed at a live database: how an agent is wired, what MCP exposes to an outside model, what a real workflow costs in credits, and where the data has to be clean before any of it helps. Every claim carries the build it was reproduced on, and the screenshots that go with it.
Odoo 20.0 is out, and Odoo presents it at Odoo Experience, 24–26 September. Rather than hold the book back for it, the current edition ships first and the Odoo 20 edition goes to everyone who already bought — at no extra cost, at the higher list price for everyone else.
The Odoo AI Feature Map
The six AI capabilities that actually ship in Odoo 20.0 Community, sorted by what leaves your database: the module each one lives in, the endpoint it calls, and what it costs you in data. Compared line by line with 19.0 — the ChatGPT box left the Community editor, translation changed provider, and the announced AI agents and MCP server are not in Community at all.
It ships with the probe script we used, so you can reproduce every line against your own database in about a minute — including the lines you think are wrong.
