Getting Started with AI-Powered Setup
Odoo uses AI to accelerate the initial setup of your online store:
- Upload your logo — Odoo automatically generates a colour palette that matches your brand
- AI selects images — relevant, professional photos are chosen for your storefront
- AI writes copy — compelling, tailored text is generated based on your business type
This means you can have a professional-looking store ready in minutes, not days.
Customizing Your Store with Drag and Drop
Even with AI-generated content, you maintain full creative control. The website editor uses a building block system:
