Oracle is revamping how businesses procure AI agents

• Oracle’s new AI agents allow automation to handle some low-value work so humans can focus on negotiations
• AI Agent Studio is also easier to use with a new no-code, natural language agent builder.
• Stock prices are up slightly, but investors still worry about the longevity of traditional software

Oracle is looking to inject even more agentic AI into enterprise software, leaving low-value administrative tasks like invoicing, purchase orders and data entry on the computer so humans can focus more on negotiation, strategy and risk decisions.

The news is part of a broader overhaul of cloud applications Fusion announced at its Oracle AI World Tour event in London, but it also addresses a growing concern about the role of traditional software in the modern workplace.

Investors are already worried about the types of software out there, with shares down about 20% year to date, but the company is fighting back by offering more AI tools.

Oracle adds more AI to its software

Oracle has added 22 new Fusion Agentic applications across finance, human resources, supply chain and customer experience to help achieve four goals: fewer payroll issues, lower supplier procurement costs, lower customer acquisition costs and faster cash flow.

Fusion Agentic applications are described as teams of AI agents that can reason, decide and act, just like a team of human workers, but they are directly integrated into transactional systems rather than being co-pilot style add-ons.

“With Fusion Agentic Applications, we are evolving enterprise software beyond passive systems of record and providing our customers with applications that can reason, decide, and act in pursuit of defined business goals,” wrote Steve Miranda, vice president of application development.

At the same time, Oracle also updated its AI Agent Audio to include a no-code natural language agent generator as well as a dedicated ROI dashboard. Chris Leone, senior vice president of application development, explained that companies need this support to fine-tune their agents based on workflows and priorities.
