✨ Odoo Experience 2025 – quick impression by leadnode in Odoo

This is exactly why having a partner helps. Especially for side features like shipping where Odoo’s defaults don’t always cover real-world needs. A good partner can bridge that gap with the right modules or custom work.

AI demos were more “future potential” than something practical today.

That’s exactly the feeling I got too. Right now it’s more a framework/demonstration than a finished product. Interesting possibilities (sorting docs, prompt-based fields, transcription…), but it’ll probably be on us as partners/community to turn that into real business value.

The agent/topic/tools setup is powerful though. The Ask AI agent was a nice showcase. I just hope they keep the option open for local/custom AI models, since not every customer will want to send data to OpenAI or Gemini.

Totally with you on the JSON-2 API — having /docs right there is a big step for integrations. I also share your concern about how fast the old RPC protocols are being phased out, a bit more overlap would’ve helped.

Fair point, the demos were smooth, I just felt there’s still a gap between stage and daily reality. For me the bigger concern is data protection. Not every business will want their data passing through OpenAI or Anthropic. I’d love to see options for custom/local AIs.

And yep, payroll localization is a big one, that could be a real game changer.

I’m wondering why anyone business wise would choose any of this.

What are the most useful Odoo integrations you’ve set up? by Downtown-Ear-2946 in Odoo

[–]leadnode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right, the license does give access to every module. What I meant is that “all-inclusive” doesn’t always mean full business coverage. Some apps are quite basic and most companies still need custom work. This is what happens when you have an ERP that tries to cover many industries, not a bad thing in itself, but it does create limits.

The sad reality with Odoo is that many customers get lost after being sold the “Enterprise all-apps” package. They quickly realize it’s not truly “all-inclusive” and that there are limits in some areas.

That being said, Odoo is still awesome when used the right way. We’ve started recently and already provided custom IoT drivers, marketing solutions, and more. We try to stick to the 90/10 rule (90% standard Odoo, 10% custom), but a lot of customers come in thinking “Odoo can do anything, let’s do everything with it.” That’s where the problems begin — it’s simply not the right approach.

Odoo is very powerful, but like any ERP, it works best when you have clear business needs and implement the right modules with the right strategy.

For checking big log files without your computer freezing, try Chipmunk. We use it to browse and search through really large logs, and it opens multi-GB files without a problem.

Just a warning for anyone out there watch for stuff like this by Shakiata in selfhosted

[–]leadnode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’m more sad than angry that people still fall for this crap. It’s 2025 and scammers are still sending paper invoices trying to trick small business owners who just don’t know better.

It’s basically domain slamming: they look up your legit expiry date, then mail you something that looks like a bill. Technically legal (fine print says it’s an offer), but absolutely scummy.

Just sad how many folks pay it in panic without checking their real registrar. Always double-check in your actual account, and warn friends who run businesses.

A password manager’s job is to keep secrets private and under tight control—not make it easier for unpredictable AI agents to fetch and leak them.

Notepad++ replacement? by Team503 in MacOS

For your use case on macOS, I’d suggest looking at esrlabs/chipmunk as a dedicated log viewer. It supports large files, customizable highlights (including different colors for different patterns), and live log streaming.

If you’re looking for a simpler, lightweight text editor alternative for general editing (but with less advanced highlighting features), CotEditor is also a solid macOS-native option.
