Oracle is updating its cloud finance and procurement software so companies can use AI agents inside routine business processes. The move is part of a wider shift in enterprise software, where vendors are adapting products for AI tools that can complete tasks on behalf of users. Oracle plans to announce the changes at an event in London on Tuesday local time.
The update applies to Oracle Fusion, which supports finance, supply chain, human resources, and customer operations.
The firm said users will be able to ask business questions in simple language, while AI finds data across Oracle systems and connected third-party software.
The company added that the software will keep operating within existing controls, including permissions, approvals, and policy rules.
Oracle said the new offering is called Fusion Agentic Applications. It described it as a new class of enterprise applications powered by teams of specialized AI agents. The company said these agents are designed to work toward set business goals and carry out actions within existing workflows.
Oracle said the applications are built directly into Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. This gives the agents access to enterprise data, workflows, policies, approval hierarchies, permissions, and transactional context in real time. Oracle said the system is designed to execute work within the software itself rather than act as a separate assistant.
Steve Miranda, executive vice president of applications development at Oracle, said the company wants users to spend less time on manual process work and more time on business decisions. He said companies often need to answer questions such as how to make a product cheaper and faster while reducing supply chain risk.
Miranda said, ”Typing in an invoice isn't a particularly high-value skill to your enterprise or to the person you know who does that part of their job.” He also said, ”Decision making is still kind of up to that human and weighing the different pros and cons of that case. But certainly the execution, the typing of the invoices, the typing of the purchase order, that is what is going to be replaced in whole in AI.”
Oracle said the applications are designed to maintain shared context across steps and over time. The company said this allows agents to remember prior actions, current state, and earlier decisions as work continues. Oracle also said the applications can review trade-offs, act, and reassess when conditions change.
The company announced 22 new Fusion Agentic Applications. These include a Workforce Operations Agentic Application, a Design-to-Source Workspace Agentic Application, a Cross-Sell Program Workspace Agentic Application, and a Collectors Workspace Agentic Application.
Oracle said the workforce tool is intended to help HR teams reduce payroll issues and speed up scheduling approvals. It said the design-to-source tool is meant to help supply chain teams reduce product cost, shorten cycle time, and lower compliance risk. Oracle also said the cross-sell tool is designed to help sales teams identify growth opportunities, while the collectors tool is aimed at helping finance teams collect cash faster and improve promise-to-pay conversion.

Oracle said the applications run inside its existing security framework. The company said this includes role-based access, approval frameworks, and end-to-end traceability with step-by-step actions and full execution paths. Oracle said routine actions can move forward within set guardrails, while exceptions and decisions needing human judgment are surfaced to employees.
The company also linked the rollout to Oracle AI Agent Studio. Oracle said the studio includes an Agentic Applications Builder that lets organizations build, connect, and run AI automation using Oracle, partner, and external agents without traditional application development. Oracle added that the applications run on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and are powered by large language models.
Moreover, the rollout comes during a difficult year for Oracle’s stock. Shares are down about 40% this year, although the stock closed at $154.34 on March 23, up 3.11% for the day.
