AI access once, not per module.
One central AI connection for your store
All AI modules in your store share one common foundation – you maintain credentials and the API key in just one place. The connector brings the connections to Anthropic, OpenAI and Google together: configured once, used by all AI modules, and switching providers is a simple setting.
What this OPAL does for you
Configure once, use everywhere: you set up the API key, provider and model centrally – all AI modules use the same access.
Switch providers with a setting: Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (ChatGPT) or Google (Gemini).
A single, controlled exit point for your data: this is the only place where store data flows to the AI provider – one manageable point for your assessment.
These OPALs use the AI Connector
The AI Connector is the foundation – the AI only becomes visible in the OPALs built on top of it. For example:
Part of the OPAL family
OPALs are building blocks from OXID eSales: a proven foundation that is adapted to your IT landscape and integrated into your store.

Central configuration with a live model list
You maintain the API key and model per provider in one place. In the admin area, you fetch the currently available models directly from the provider – which also verifies the key – and pick the model without copying model names from the documentation.
Three providers behind one interface
Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (ChatGPT) and Google (Gemini) can be used via the same access. You choose which provider to use in the module settings and can switch it there at any time.
Text, image and image analysis
The AI Connector provides three capabilities to the OPALs built on top of it: generating text, generating images and analyzing images, for example recognizing what a product photo shows. Which of these are used in your store depends on the AI OPALs you use.
Only active when configured
If no key is set, the AI features simply stay inactive instead of failing. A uniform check lets the modules built on top detect whether usable access is available – and whether the active provider supports the required capability at all.
One interface for all AI modules
Future AI features build on the same client. If you switch providers or renew a key, the change applies immediately to all AI OPALs.
Capabilities cleanly separated
Not every provider can do everything: OpenAI and Google handle image generation, all three handle image analysis. Before each call, it is clear what the active provider can do, so a feature doesn't fail silently but shows a clear message instead.
Who is this OPAL for?
Store owners
You want to use AI features in your store without maintaining credentials separately for every feature.
How it helps
You set up the provider, API key and model once, centrally – all AI modules use the same access. You fetch the available models directly in the admin area, and switching providers is a setting. That means one set of credentials instead of one per module.
