What is the AI Assistant?
A module Tarabut installs on your company's Odoo. It adds a menu called AI with a full Arabic chat inside, like talking to an expert employee at your company, except this employee:
Sees your real data, live
Sales, invoices, inventory, customers, purchasing, POS, projects. All of it.
Acts: it doesn't just talk
Produces a report, builds a dashboard, edits records, generates an Excel file, within the access rights you grant it.
Powered by Claude from Anthropic
Real contextual understanding and reasoning, not a canned Q&A bot.
How it works, in plain terms
AI chat inside Odoo
A native, Arabic-first Odoo interface, on desktop and mobile.
A gateway dedicated to your company
An isolated server per client. Each company runs in its own dedicated environment.
The Claude agent
Runs on a Claude account in your company's name, with secure tools on your own Odoo database.
Every company gets an isolated environment (container + gateway + its own Claude account). Your core business data remains in your Odoo database. The agent reads and writes through governed access rights you define, and only the context required to process each request is securely transmitted to the AI provider.

From WhatsApp: the standout feature
Connect a WhatsApp number for your assistant, and talk to the agent from a regular WhatsApp chat:
| What you send | What it does |
|---|---|
| Text | Replies within seconds, neatly formatted for WhatsApp, with a "typing…" indicator and a received notice when the answer needs more time. |
| Voice message | Transcribes it with a best-in-class engine (Whisper large-v3-turbo), confirms what it heard, then acts. |
| Images | Sees them with Claude’s full vision: describes, reads photographed invoices and documents, and analyzes. |
| Files (Excel / PDF / CSV) | Opens and analyzes them, and sends files back too: Excel reports, PDFs, images. |
| Video | Extracts the scenes and analyzes them visually, transcribes the audio, and replies with one complete answer. |

Access rights and security
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Three permission modes | Read-only (sees, never edits) · With approval (every write shows an approval card in chat before it runs) · Full, and the admin decides which. |
| Conversation privacy | Each user sees only their own conversations, plus an admin-assigned "supervisor" role. |
| Isolated environment per client | Each client runs in an isolated environment: a dedicated server, gateway, and Claude account for every company. |
| A Claude account in your name | The Claude subscription is registered to your company and owned by it. You control the account and its billing directly. |
| Where your data lives | Your core business data remains in your Odoo database; the agent works on it through governed, logged API access rights, and only the context required to process each request is securely transmitted to the AI provider. |
