Viindoo AI - Natural Language Search

Users no longer have to click through multiple filter drop-downs to find records. They just describe what they are looking for in plain language ("revenue by sales rep in March", "unpaid invoices over 10 million", "contacts in Hanoi") and Viindoo AI translates the phrase into a safe Odoo search filter, respecting the user's own permissions.

What it does

Adds an "Ask in plain language" button to every searchbar in the backend. When the user clicks it (or opens the popup via Ctrl+K), they type a sentence. Under the hood:

The question is sent to the configured AI model along with a few-shot prompt example.
The AI returns a structured Odoo domain (the same filter language used internally by Odoo search views).
A validator re-checks every leaf of the domain against the user's permissions: can they read this model? this field? does the operator make sense?
If the domain is safe, it is applied to the current list view. If anything fails, the search falls back to a standard full-text match so the user still sees results.

Key Features

No prompt engineering needed - users type sentences the way they think. No need to learn boolean syntax or field names.
Safe by construction - the validator walks the generated domain and rejects anything that would bypass record rules or field-level permissions. A user cannot accidentally (or deliberately) craft a filter that leaks data they are not allowed to see.
Graceful fallback - when the AI is unsure or returns an invalid domain, the module silently falls back to Odoo's built-in full-text search, showing a friendly note to the user.
Tunable without code - the few-shot examples that steer the AI's output are stored in a viin.ai.topic record named nl_search. Admins edit the examples directly in the UI to improve accuracy for industry-specific vocabulary (e.g. Vietnamese legal terms, regional customer names).
