The default AI agents in Odoo, such as theautomatic field filler and the smart suggestion agent, do not appear in the backend interface, even with the AI Agents module activated. In other words, you cannot edit or change their LLM model directly through the administrative interface. However, it is possible to change the model used by these agents directly in the database, and this can help you reduce API costs.
These agents are registered in the table ai_agent in the PostgreSQL database. The column that defines which language model they use is called llm_model. By default, this column may be set with values like 'gpt-4o' or 'gpt4.1', depending on the installation and active integrations.
This works immediately after the change, without needing to restart the server. However, it is worth noting:
These agents are not visible or editable via the interface, so any errors need to be corrected directly in the database.
Switching to cheaper modelsmayreduce the accuracy of the generated responses, especially in sensitive fields.
There may be incompatibility with future updates of Odoo, since this modification is not officially documented.
Why do this?
To save on the use of APIs like OpenAI, avoid high token limits, or even integrate local models, which provides more control and privacy. But it is important to be aware of the potential loss of quality in the responses.
In summary: yes, it is possible to change the default LLM model of the Odoo agent, but only directly in the database, and with caution.There is currently no option in the backend to edit these internal agents.
