The new Odoo 19 version focusses on artificial intelligence. AI is available everywhere in Odoo and adapts to the respective context of daily work.
Innovations and optimisations are also expected in the Sales, Services, Finance, Logistics, HR Management, Website, SEO and eCommerce modules. The update also includes new end-to-end workflows with sector-specific applications for various industries. These open up completely new dimensions of process automation for companies.
A particular highlight is the new ESG app in Odoo 19, which enables legally compliant sustainability reporting and is a key innovation for companies in Europe that are subject to increasingly strict reporting obligations.
The official release of Odoo 19 will take place from 18 to 20 September 2025 at the Odoo Experience in Brussels. We received this sneak peek first-hand at the Odoo Partner Day 2025. Below we have summarised the most important news for companies in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. This article will be updated on an ongoing basis.
Artificial intelligence seamlessly integrated into Odoo
Odoo 19 takes artificial intelligence to a whole new level - it can be used flexibly across all Odoo apps and exactly where it is needed. Odoo does not rely exclusively on a single provider such as ChatGPT, but creates a flexible basis that can be adapted to other AI models if required - for maximum independence and future-proofing.
AI assistant in all apps
Integrated into all applications, the assistant supports users in all tasks. What we particularly like is that the so-called AI agents in the form of fields can be set up, customised and added to very easily in Odoo Studio or directly in your own settings. Odoo also learns independently and continuously improves.
Data processing with artificial intelligence
The AI analyses existing information, takes on tasks independently or automatically assigns them to the right people based on predefined rules and responsibilities. Examples:
- Automatic assignment of leads or support tickets based on content, according to predefined assignments in the same context, previous conversations, customer history or other contextual information.
- Intelligent, context-related entry of sales orders.
- Process texts: The AI helps with writing, summarising, improving or translating texts.
AI-controlled search
Thanks to semantic search, Odoo delivers context-related, precise and optimised results instead of just keyword matching. Linking documentation or databases with the AI agent also allows users to query specific information and obtain answers. Examples:
- A website agent becomes an interactive source of knowledge for customers and answers questions in a live chat, guides them through processes such as product selection or provides dynamic forms for support tickets or error messages.
- Support in completing applications with step-by-step assistance.
User interface and usability
The new version comes with numerous optimisations in the areas of design and usability, such as the modernised Kanban design in a reduced layout for more clarity and simple management and organisation of tasks in real time.
Updated Gantt functions
Gantt view with Smart Zoom for automatic adjustment depending on the zoom level. An info window is displayed for commands such as drag & drop or resize. Empty columns are also automatically collapsed.
Optimised mobile version
Odoo 19 is even more powerful on mobile devices with new layout options, clear menus and the option to save filters and views as favourites.
