Built an AI tool that generates full React apps directly connected to Odoo

Hey!

I created HelloLeo, an AI tool that generates full React apps directly connected to Odoo using MCP to read the data model and contextualize the code.

Here is the reddit post

@yonitjio would be super interested in your opinion, I'll be happy to send you free credits and share an exclusive promo code with the exploring-odoo community!

Hello,

Thank you for your offer. However, your product does not align with the project’s core guideline, which is to use Odoo itself as the user interface. For example, Nuido and N2 were created specifically because I wanted to build solutions within Odoo, not outside of it.

That said, I wish you the best with your endeavour.

I will be closing this discussion, as I consider it promotional in nature.

Totally understood, thanks for explaining the project’s philosophy.

Keeping everything inside the native Odoo UI makes complete sense for this repo and for tools like Nuido and N2.

Just to clarify (for future readers): HelloLeo builds external frontends, but they connect directly to Odoo’s APIs, and the MCP layer lets users query and perform operations inside Odoo without rebuilding logic elsewhere. So it’s not a separate system, more like an external UI on top of the existing Odoo backend.

We’ve seen a lot of Odoo users recently build customer portals or small operational apps outside the Odoo UI because it gives them more flexibility in UX while still relying 100% on their Odoo logic and data.

But I fully agree this approach doesn’t align with the goals of this project, and I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Wishing you the best with the work here, I’ll keep following the project.
