It empowers users to easily navigate between different modules, track the list of multiple records, switch between different modules, and a lot more.

In Odoo 16 you will also find a new   dialogue box through which you can easily personalize the look and feel of any module, including its layout, style, and colors.

Knowledge Application

The earlier versions of Odoo ERP were lacking the functionality of the Odoo community. A new feature of Odoo 16 is its Knowledge Application, which acts as a knowledge-sharing platform for Odoo users and gives them access to information.

Dynamic Chatbot

The chatbot feature is nothing new to the Odoo community and it has been improving since the release of previous versions. 

As part of Odoo 16, a new AI Chatbot feature is added which uses a decision tree to respond to business queries directly.

Marketing Tools

Odoo ERP's previous versions required users to access marketing tools outside of its main application modules, whichled them to bounce back  from using these tools inside their business modules.
