Add an AI support chatbot to your Odoo website, eCommerce store, Helpdesk, or CRM using a free Odoo app and your own content.

How do you add an AI chatbot to Odoo?
Install the free WhisperChat app from the Odoo Apps store, create a WhisperChat chatbot and train it on your website content and documents, then copy the chatbot ID into the app's settings inside Odoo. The widget appears on your Odoo website and answers visitor questions from your own content. The app is free; the Odoo connection is a paid WhisperChat feature.
How the Odoo integration works
1. Install the free Odoo app
The odoo_gpt_chat module is published on the Odoo Apps store. Install it into your Odoo instance the same way as any other app.
2. Train a chatbot on your content
In WhisperChat, create a chatbot and add your sources: your Odoo website URLs, plus any PDF, DOCX, or TXT documents, pasted text, and question-and-answer pairs you write yourself. Training normally completes in a few minutes.
3. Connect the two
Copy the chatbot ID from WhisperChat and paste it into the app's settings inside Odoo. That is the whole connection no API keys to manage and no template edits.
4. Check it on the live site
Open your Odoo website and confirm the widget appears and answers correctly. Ask it the questions your customers actually ask rather than the ones you expect, and fix any gaps in the source content it reveals.
What the chatbot can and cannot see
This is the most common misunderstanding, so it is worth being direct. The chatbot answers from content you train it on your pages, documents, and FAQs. It does not query live Odoo records. It cannot tell a customer where their order is, what their invoice balance is, or whether a product is in stock right now. It can explain your shipping policy, your returns window, and how your products differ, which is where most repetitive questions actually sit.
Why Odoo sites tend to get the same questions
An Odoo website usually carries a lot of information across product pages, policy pages, and a knowledge base, and visitors rarely find it. The questions that reach your inbox are mostly questions your site has already answered somewhere.
That is the specific problem an AI chatbot trained on your own content addresses: it puts the answer in front of the visitor at the moment they ask, rather than expecting them to navigate to it.
It also produces a useful side effect. The questions the chatbot cannot answer tell you which pages are missing or unclear, and fixing those pages improves your search rankings and your human support at the same time.
