The AI assistant in your TYPO3 backend.

Say in plain words what you need. ChEddi gets it done right where you are working.

Meet ChEddi

ChEddi sits as a chat on every page of your TYPO3 backend. You describe what you need, it takes care of the rest: finding pages, creating content, translating, filling in metadata.

It works with your permissions, asks before every change and puts everything into a draft first. You stay in control, it takes the clicking off your hands.

Use cases

What changes day to day

Not just faster. Different.

Asking instead of searching

Editors no longer need to know which field sits in which module and how the page tree is put together. They simply ask and find their way faster. That shortens onboarding and takes the fear of the backend away from occasional editors.

PDFs become pages

“Turn this data sheet into a product page.” Attach, prompt, approve.

Timer

The two-minute change takes two minutes again

A wrong price, a typo in the imprint. Opening the backend used to be hardly worth it. Now you just say it.

Aktualisieren

Changes that used to be a project

Rebranding, new prices, changed legal texts. That used to mean a quote and three weeks. Now it is not even an afternoon. And before saving you see exactly what changes, record by record.

Teleskop

Research and use it right away

Look something up on the web and the result lands straight in your text as a draft. With sources to check.

Finally knowing what your website is missing

“Which pages have not been touched for two years?” A stocktake nobody ever does because it would be too much work.

Security

Four points where you decide

Between your question and the published page there are four checkpoints. ChEddi skips none of them.

With your permissions

ChEddi acts as the logged-in editor. It only sees what they may see and only changes what they may change. Anyone without access to a page does not get it through the chat either.

Reading runs, writing asks

Searching and looking things up happens without asking. As soon as something is to be saved, ChEddi stops and shows you what it intends to do.

A preview before every save

Old value, new value, record by record. Only your click triggers the save. For hard-to-reverse actions you need two.

Draft first, live second

Approved changes land in the workspace. Visitors see none of it until you publish. Or discard.

Data protection

Your content, your rules

The GDPR mode of the AI Suite applies in the chat as well.

Vetted models only

With GDPR mode active, only models marked as GDPR-compliant are available for selection.

Search through an EU provider

Web research follows the same rule and runs through a search provider hosted in the EU.

No direct line to the outside

The chat never talks to an AI provider directly. Every request goes through the AI Suite Server.

Onboarding

Ready to go in 3 steps

No client, no token, no connection to set up. ChEddi runs in the backend you already have.

  1. 1 Install

    Pull ChEddi into your TYPO3 via Composer.

  2. 2 Enable

    Enable the backend group and assign the models.

  3. 3 Get going

    Open the chat and give it your first task.

Working with the AutoDudes exceeded our expectations from the very start. The practical benefit was noticeable immediately. What used to take hours we now solve in minutes, translations above all. What impressed us most was the support: fast, competent and always at eye level. You can tell that real experts are at work here, people who do not just deliver technology but genuinely think along. The collaboration feels less like a classic service relationship and more like a reliable team growing alongside us.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about ChEddi

Do I need a subscription of its own?

No. ChEddi is part of the AI Suite and requires it. If you already use the AI Suite, all that is added is one extension.

Does ChEddi see my screen?

No. ChEddi sees neither your screen nor the view you have open. If you have a record open, it is told that record's table and number, nothing more.

What happens if ChEddi gets something wrong?

Nothing is saved without confirmation, and confirmed changes land in the draft workspace by default. From there each one can be discarded individually.

Which data leaves your installation?

Your message, the conversation so far and the text from attachments go to the AI Suite Server, which runs the model. The chat never talks to an AI provider directly.

With GDPR mode active, the model selection is limited to models marked as GDPR-compliant, and web research runs through a search provider hosted in the EU.

Is web research available straight away?

No, and that is deliberate. It ships switched off and has to be enabled per backend group. That way you decide yourself who may send search queries out.

With GDPR mode active, the search runs through a provider hosted in the EU. If that provider does not serve the language of your query, the search is skipped and the chat states the reason. Reading an address you name yourself is not affected.

Does every request cost credits?

Yes, every request consumes credits from your AI Suite allowance. Billing is by tokens, and the price is shown with each model in the selection. Your balance is visible at the top of the chat at all times.

Can I control who may use ChEddi?

Yes, per backend group. Without approval the chat does not even appear. On top of that you decide which AI models a group may use.

Is ChEddi finished yet?

ChEddi is still in beta. That means: usable in production, but the feature set is still growing. We recommend pinning a fixed version and reviewing the changelog before updates.

Ready to give your editors an assistant?

ChEddi is part of the AI Suite. If you already have it, all that is missing is one extension.
