Viindoo AI - Assistants & Automation
Create AI assistants once, use them anywhere. Each assistant is pre-configured
with a role, instructions, knowledge sources, allowed subjects, and the concrete
actions it may perform - so end-users just chat, without having to pick models
or write prompts themselves.
What it does
Set up an assistant (e.g. "Sales Quote Drafter", "HR Policy Helper") with:
- Instructions in plain language - role, rules, target audience.
- AI Model - pick once; users never have to.
- Topics - subjects the assistant is allowed to discuss; off-topic
questions are politely declined.
- Sources - documents the assistant can search through (via
viin_ai_rag).
- Actions - concrete Odoo operations the assistant may trigger on the
user's behalf, with per-action confirmation and group-level permissions.
End-users invoke the assistant from chat (viin_ai_chat), Discuss, a
scheduled timer, or a server action. The assistant runs an "agentic loop":
read context → pick an action → execute → feed result back → keep going
until the task is done or the per-run cost limit is reached.
Key Features
- Safe by default - destructive actions ask the user for confirmation
before running; per-run spending limit in US dollars stops runaway loops.
- Server-action AI Prompt - turn any record list into an AI-powered bulk
operation: "summarise every overdue invoice", "translate product
descriptions to Vietnamese", etc. Configured via Developer Tools >
Automation > Server Actions.
- Auto-fill AI fields - mark any text field on any model as
Auto-Fill With AI. A scheduled background task writes a value into
empty records using the instruction you wrote, with the model you chose.
- Topics and Tools as reusable building blocks - the same Topic (e.g.
"Pricing") or Tool (e.g. "create_sales_order") can be attached to many
assistants. Update the Topic once; every assistant that uses it picks up
the change.
- Full audit trail - every assistant run produces a Trace linking all
model calls and action executions, with cost, duration, and user feedback.
