⚠️ Important Notice

Dalfred gives AI access to your Dolibarr data through its API and, optionally, direct database queries. By using this module:

• Your data is sent to the selected AI provider's servers (except with Ollama self-hosted)
• The AI can read and modify data based on the permissions you grant
• You are responsible for ensuring compliance with your organization's data policies (GDPR, etc.)
• We recommend starting with read-only permissions and enabling write access only for trusted users
• Always review the permission settings carefully before enabling the module for new users

This module requires an active API key from your chosen AI provider. The module itself does not include AI processing — it connects to external AI services. API costs depend on your provider and usage volume.

Compatibility: Dolibarr 16.x to 21.x | PHP 8.1+ Dependencies: Dolibarr API module must be enabled Hosting: Compatible with shared hosting (no shell access required)
