What you get from your AI

The AI handles the data retrieval so you can focus on the numbers.

DATA

Real-time payment lists

The AI uses odoo_list_payments to grab your latest transactions. You get a clean list of what has been paid and what is still outstanding.

ANALYSIS

Journal entry summaries

By accessing odoo_list_journals, your agent can summarize specific ledger movements. This helps you see how different accounts are affecting your balance.

LIQUIDITY

Cash position checks

You can ask for a quick snapshot of your available cash. The AI aggregates the data to show you your current standing.
