Creating and updating a website often requires time-consuming changes to content, layouts, images, and page sections. The AI Website Assistant in Odoo 20 Enterprise makes this process easier by allowing users to create and improve website pages using simple natural-language instructions.

Integrated into the Odoo website editor, the AI assistant helps users generate website content, update existing pages, modify specific sections, and make design changes. Users can also choose AI-suggested improvements, provide custom instructions, and attach relevant documents to guide the results.

In this guide, you'll learn how to use the Odoo 20 AI Website Assistant to create website pages, improve existing content, generate forms, and make targeted changes to your website.

1. How to Create a Website Page Using AI in Odoo 20

Odoo 20 Enterprise allows you to create website pages using AI-generated content. By providing simple instructions and selecting a preferred writing tone, you can generate page content that matches your website's purpose.

Follow these steps to get started:

1. Open the Website application in Odoo.
2. Click New and select Page.

Choose a suitable page template.

 

Enable Generate Text.

Enter instructions describing your business and the content you want to include on the page.

Choose a writing tone that suits your website's purpose. Odoo provides the following options:

• Concise: Creates short, direct content.
• Professional: Uses a formal, business-focused tone.
• Friendly: Creates a conversational and approachable style.
• Persuasive: Highlights benefits and encourages readers to take action.
• Informative: Presents information clearly and in detail.

Click Create with AI to generate the page content.

Odoo uses your instructions and selected writing tone to generate content within the chosen template. Once the page is created, it opens in the website editor, where you can review the generated content, make any necessary changes, and refine the page before saving.

These tone options help users align generated content with their website's purpose and communication style.

2. How to Open the AI Website Assistant in Odoo 20

The AI Website Assistant in Odoo 20 Enterprise lets you create new website pages or improve existing ones directly from the website editor.

Follow these steps to open the assistant:

1. Open your website and navigate to the page you want to edit.
2. Click Edit to enter editing mode.

Locate the AI button in the top toolbar, next to Discard and Save.

 

Click the AI button to open the assistant panel.

The assistant provides two options to get started:

• Help me create a new page: Create a new website page with AI assistance.
• Improve my page: Suggest and apply changes to the content, layout, and presentation of an existing page.

Once you start a conversation, you can provide additional instructions to refine the results and make further improvements.

3. How to Create a New Website Page Using the Odoo AI Assistant

The AI Website Assistant in Odoo 20 Enterprise helps you create website pages through a simple conversation. You can describe your requirements in natural language instead of configuring every section manually.

To get started, open the AI assistant and select Help me create a new page.

During the conversation, the assistant asks about your page's purpose, target audience, preferred design style, color palette, and required content. Provide clear answers so the assistant can better understand your requirements.

 

Based on your instructions, the assistant generates a webpage that reflects your specified content and visual preferences.

Once the page is created, review it in the website editor. Make any necessary adjustments to the content, layout, and design before publishing.

4. How to Improve an Existing Website Page Using AI in Odoo 20

The Improve my page feature in Odoo 20 Enterprise helps you enhance an existing website page using AI-suggested improvements and custom instructions.

When this option is selected, the assistant analyses the current page and presents a list of possible improvements. These appear as selectable options, allowing users to choose the changes relevant to their website.

Suggestions may cover content, headings, call-to-action buttons, promotional banners, testimonials, project images, and overall page presentation.

Users can select suggested improvements, enter custom prompts, or combine both to personalise the changes.

Review the resulting changes and the assistant's summary.

This approach gives users flexibility to decide what should change while allowing the AI to handle supported editing tasks.

After processing a prompt, the assistant provides a summary describing the changes it has made to the website.

The summary may identify updated headings and content, newly added sections, layout adjustments, or changes to buttons and project presentations. This gives users a clear overview of the work performed without having to identify every modification themselves.

Reviewing the summary helps users:

• Understand which changes were made.
• Check whether the requested improvements were addressed.
• Identify areas that may need further adjustments.
• Decide what to request in the next prompt.

The summary should be considered alongside the actual page. Inspect the updated website to confirm that the content, layout, and functionality meet your expectations before saving and publishing.

5. How to Create Website Forms Using AI in Odoo 20

Creating forms is another potential use of the AI assistant.

Instead of manually building every element, you can describe the information you want to collect and request a suitable form.

A suitable form can help visitors submit enquiries directly through the website.

After generation, review the form fields, layout, submission behaviour, and data handling to ensure they meet your requirements.

6. How to Use Documents and File Attachments in the Odoo AI Website Assistant

The assistant provides two options for supplying additional information: Add from Documents and Attach Files. These features help users provide relevant material alongside their instructions.

Open the AI assistant.

Click the + button in the message composer.

Add from Documents

This option allows users to select relevant documents from the available Documents application, where supported.

The selected material can provide context for website content and help the assistant work with existing business information.

Attach Files

This option allows users to supply files directly through the AI conversation. 

Depending on the supported file types and processing capabilities, attachments can provide additional information or reference material for the requested changes.

Add from Documents selects existing documents, while Attach Files uploads files directly to the conversation. Both provide additional context for the AI assistant to improve website content.

7. How to Select Specific Website Elements for AI Editing in Odoo 20

The Select Elements option allows users to target particular website blocks instead of requesting changes to the entire page.

Steps to select an element

Choose Select Elements.

Select the website block you want to modify.

Enter your instructions and submit the request.

The selected element appears in the composer as the target of the instruction. The assistant can then focus the requested change on that block, where supported.

This is useful when only a particular section needs updating and the rest of the page should remain unchanged.

8. Explore the Additional Settings in the Odoo AI Website Assistant

The + menu in the Odoo AI Website Assistant provides additional settings and tools that help you manage how you interact with the assistant.

Here are the available options and what they do:

• Auto-Approve Actions: Automatically approves supported actions, reducing the need for individual approvals.
• Web Search: Enables web search when supported.
• Show Steps: Displays the steps involved in processing a request.
• Think Longer: Allows additional reasoning for more complex tasks.
• Add from Documents: Lets you select existing documents to provide context for your instructions.
• Attach Files: Allows you to attach files directly to the AI conversation.
• Select Elements: Lets you target specific website blocks for editing.

Choose the settings that suit your requirements. Keeping manual approval enabled gives you more control over proposed actions, while Auto-Approve Actions may be useful for supported repetitive tasks.

Regardless of the settings you choose, review the assistant's changes before saving and publishing your website.
