Assista X vs a General AI Chatbot
When you ask a general AI chatbot about your business numbers, you get a text response. Maybe a markdown table. That's it.
Assista X is different. When you ask about your Odoo data, it pulls real live data from your Odoo system and renders interactive charts inline — right inside the chat. You can hover over data points, switch chart types, change colors, and download the chart as an image, all without leaving the conversation.
| Feature | General AI Chatbot | Assista X |
|---|---|---|
| Data source | Trained knowledge (may be outdated) | Live data fetched from your Odoo in real time |
| Charts | Static images (if any) | Interactive charts inside the chat |
| Chart customization | None | Type, color, highlights, thresholds |
| Export | Copy text | Download as PNG |
Available Chart Types
Assista X supports 6 chart types. The agent automatically picks the most appropriate one based on your data, but you can always switch it yourself.
| Chart Type | Best Used For |
|---|---|
| Bar | Comparing values across categories (e.g. revenue by customer) |
| Line | Showing trends over time (e.g. monthly sales) |
| Area | Trends with volume emphasis (e.g. cumulative revenue growth) |
| Pie | Showing proportions of a whole (e.g. product category share) |
| Donut | Same as Pie, with a cleaner look |
| Scatter | Spotting correlations between two values |

Customizing Your Chart
Switching the Chart Type
In the expanded view, click any type in the Chart Type selector to instantly switch the visualization. The data stays the same — only the display changes.
Switch between Bar, Line, Area, Pie, Donut, and Scatter with one click
For example, switching from a bar chart to a line chart shifts the focus from comparison to trend — useful when you want to see how a metric moves over time rather than how values stack up against each other.
Changing the Color Palette
Below the chart type selector you'll find the color palette picker — five swatches that repaint the entire chart instantly.
| Palette | Feel |
|---|---|
| Default | Balanced, multi-color — good for most charts |
| Sunset | Warm reds and oranges — strong contrast |
| Ocean | Cool blues — clean, professional look |
| Forest | Deep greens — earthy, easy on the eyes |
| Pastel | Soft tones — lighter, presentation-friendly |
Click any swatch and the chart updates immediately — no reload, no rerender delay.
Five palettes to match your brand or preference
Zooming Into a Range
For bar and line charts with many data points, a range slider appears at the bottom of the chart inside the expanded view. Drag either end of the slider to narrow the visible range and zoom into a specific period or category.
This is especially useful when you're looking at a full year of monthly data but want to focus on a single quarter — just drag the slider handles to frame the range you need.
