An AI assistant inside Dolibarr: what Dalfred changes day to day
Dalfred is an AI assistant integrated directly into Dolibarr. Search, document creation, data analysis — discover what it can concretely do for your business.
AI in business tools: a reality, not just a promise
There's a lot of talk about artificial intelligence. But in practical terms, for a small business using Dolibarr every day, what does it actually change?
The answer with Dalfred: a lot. This AI assistant integrates directly into your Dolibarr interface and lets you interact with your data in natural language — as if you were talking to a colleague who knows your ERP inside out.
What Dalfred can do
Answer questions about your data
Instead of navigating menus to find information, you just ask:
"Which customers haven't placed an order in the last 6 months?" "Show me overdue invoices older than 30 days." "What was last month's revenue by product category?"
Dalfred queries your Dolibarr database and returns the answer immediately — no filter to build, no export needed.
Create documents from simple instructions
You can ask Dalfred to prepare documents on your behalf:
"Create a quote for client Smith for 10 days of development at €800/day." "Generate a 30% deposit invoice for order PO-2025-042."
It prepares the document using the data already in Dolibarr. You just review and confirm.
Analyze and summarize
Dalfred can also help you understand your overall situation:
"Analyze my sales trend over the last 12 months and identify key patterns." "What are my 5 best-selling products this quarter?"
All expressed in readable language, not cryptic tables.
How it works technically
Dalfred is built on the latest large language models — GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini depending on your configuration — connected securely to your Dolibarr instance via its REST API.
The assistant has a Dolibarr-specific context: it understands your data structure, the relationships between entities (contacts, invoices, products, projects...) and can formulate the right queries to answer your questions.
Your data stays with you. Dalfred stores nothing outside your environment. Exchanges with the LLM are optimized to transmit only the minimum information needed.
Dalfred vs. ChatGPT: what's the difference?
ChatGPT is a general-purpose assistant. It can answer general questions, write text, explain concepts. But it doesn't know your Dolibarr data, can't create an invoice in your system, and doesn't know who your customers are.
Dalfred, on the other hand, is connected to your ERP. It knows your context. It acts within your system. That's the difference between a general-purpose assistant and a trained employee who knows your tools.
Who is it for?
Dalfred is useful for any business that uses Dolibarr seriously:
- SMEs that want to save time on repetitive administrative tasks
- Sales managers who want quick access to their data without involving IT
- Business owners who want rapid summaries without diving into menus
How to install it
Dalfred installs like any other Dolibarr module. You then configure your API key for the language model of your choice, and it's ready to use. No extra server, no complex infrastructure.
