🚀 Oracle Announces OCI Generative AI Agents Platform: A New Era for Intelligent Oracle Cloud ERP
Oracle has officially launched the OCI Generative AI Agents Platform, marking a major breakthrough in how enterprises can build and deploy intelligent AI-driven automation across business systems. This next-generation platform empowers organizations to create conversational, context-aware AI agents capable of working seamlessly with operational, financial, and supply chain data.
While the platform supports a wide spectrum of enterprise workloads, its impact on Oracle Cloud ERP is especially transformative.
🔍 What Is the OCI Generative AI Agents Platform?
The platform is a fully managed, enterprise-grade AI environment built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. It enables organizations to build intelligent agents that can understand natural language, access structured and unstructured data, automate workflows, and interact with users and systems securely.
These agents combine advanced capabilities such as:
-
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) to reason over documents, policies, contracts, SOPs
-
Natural-Language SQL querying to interact with structured ERP databases
-
Secure and scalable agent lifecycle management
-
Guardrails and human-in-the-loop controls for enterprise governance
With these capabilities, Oracle is moving ERP from a system of record to a system of intelligence.

The OCI Generative AI Agents Platform changes that paradigm completely.
Now users can simply ask questions, explore data conversationally, and trigger automated actions, all through intelligent agents that understand business context.
This enables a new generation of ERP experiences powered by AI-driven insights and automation.
