In Odoo 20, all artificial intelligence is paid for with Odoo IAP credits, and Odoo chooses the model for each task. It’s convenient, but you no longer choose the model, pay for the AI at your provider’s price, or decide where your data goes. Binovo Apps AI is the alternative for having AI in Odoo while keeping those three decisions in your hands.
| What to check | Odoo 20 AI | Binovo Apps AI |
|---|---|---|
| How you pay for the AI | With Odoo IAP credits, across all AI features. | Directly to your provider, at their price. In Odoo you see the tokens used by each message and set a limit per agent. |
| Your own API key | The Odoo 19 settings for using your own OpenAI or Gemini account are gone, according to partners who have reviewed version 20. | Always. Each agent uses your key and your account; Binovo has no access to it. |
| Who chooses the model | Odoo. It only offers OpenAI or Google models, and everything goes through its servers. | You do: Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, DeepSeek or local Ollama, and the specific model for each agent. |
| AI on your own servers | Not available. | Yes, with Ollama on your servers or in Binovo’s data center. |
| Your conversations with the AI | Odoo stores them for up to 30 days after the last message. | They stay in your own Odoo, like any Discuss conversation. |
| Odoo license | Designed for Odoo Enterprise, with a per-user fee. | Odoo Community or Enterprise, with no per-user fees. |

If you don’t want your information to leave your company and you can’t set up a local AI yourself, Binovo has servers with local models (Ollama, Qwen) in its data center: the information doesn’t leave there and is deleted after 24 hours. In that case, Binovo invoices the tokens consumed.
In Odoo 20, AI is paid for with IAP credits and Odoo chooses the model. With Binovo Apps AI you use your own API key, choose the provider and model (including a local model), pay for the AI directly to your provider, and conversations stay in your Odoo, on Community or Enterprise.
