New Oracle AI Agent Studio empowers Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications customers and partners to easily create, extend, deploy, and manage AI agents and agent teams across the enterprise

LONDON, March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Oracle CloudWorld — Oracle today announced Oracle AI Agent Studio for Fusion Applications, a comprehensive platform for creating, extending, deploying, and managing AI agents and agent teams across the enterprise. Part of Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Suite, the new AI Agent Studio provides easy-to-use tools for customers and partners to create customized AI agents that address complex business needs and can help drive new levels of productivity.

“AI agents are the next phase of evolution in enterprise applications and just like with existing applications, business leaders need the flexibility to create specific functionality to address their unique and evolving business needs,” said Steve Miranda, executive vice president of applications, Oracle. “Our AI Agent Studio builds on the 50+ AI agents we have already introduced and gives our customers and partners the flexibility to easily create and manage their own AI agents. With the agents already embedded in Fusion Applications and our new AI Agent Studio, customers will be able to further extend automation and ultimately, achieve more while spending less.”

Available at no additional cost, Oracle AI Agent Studio delivers easy-to-use tools, including advanced testing, robust validation, and built-in security, that will help Oracle Fusion Applications customers and partners create and manage AI agents. Leveraging the same technology that Oracle uses to create AI agents, Oracle AI Agent Studio enables users to easily extend pre-packaged agents and/or create new agents and then deploy and manage them across the enterprise. AI agents designed in the Oracle AI Agent Studio seamlessly integrate with Oracle Fusion Applications and can collaborate with third-party agents to complete complex and multi-step processes. Oracle AI Agent Studio includes:

Agent template libraries: Enable users to create their own AI agents with pre-built templates paired with natural language prompts. Users can leverage the library of ready-made templates to support a variety of business scenarios, for example opportunity to quote, return order processing, or shift scheduling.Agent team orchestration: Enables users to set up multiple agents to work alongside people on complex tasks through pre-configured templates. For greater control, users can add checkpoints and approvals throughout multi-step processes.Agent extensibility: Enables users to modify and extend the 50+ pre-packaged Oracle Fusion Applications AI agents by adding documents, tools, prompts, or APIs to address their specific industry and business needs.Choice of LLMs: Enables users to access a variety of large language models (LLMs) to address specific business needs. Users can select from LLMs specifically optimized for Oracle Fusion Applications, such as Llama and Cohere, or plug in other external industry-specific LLMs for specialized use cases.Native Fusion integration: Enables users to quickly build enterprise-ready agents by providing direct access to Oracle Fusion Applications APIs, knowledge stores, and predefined tools without complex customizations. This deep integration automatically preserves enterprise-specific business logic within AI-powered workflows.Third-party system integration: Enables users to connect Oracle Fusion Applications AI agents to third-party agents through secure APIs that support both immediate next steps and long-running processes.Trust and security framework: Enables users to build and deploy agents that operate within a secure framework by requiring agents within the AI Agent Studio to always apply the latest Oracle Fusion Applications security configurations, policies, and access controls. This also allows users to build AI agents without the need to reconfigure security settings or sign new agreements.Validation and testing tools: Enables users to maintain trust and accuracy by verifying and monitoring results within AI-driven workflows. For example, built-in validation and testing tools help support reliability, repeatability, explainability, security, and performance of AI outputs.

Oracle Partner Network Support

“AI-powered innovation is enabling our clients to reinvent processes and transform the way they work, driving a new performance frontier,” said Lan Guan, chief AI officer, Accenture. “According to our recent research, agentic architectures featuring AI agents will enter the mainstream in 2025, with three times as many organizations planning to invest in these capabilities compared to 2024. As we continue to work with Oracle to help clients across industries accelerate the adoption of AI, the new Oracle AI Agent Studio will allow us to orchestrate more powerful agents from Oracle, with Accenture’s AI Refinery platform, to drive new levels of productivity and growth.”

“With the rapid rise of AI agents, organizations are facing an ongoing challenge of how to manage and measure the impact of these digital workers,” said Mauro Schiavon, global chief commercial officer, Oracle Business, and principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP. “As leaders look to demonstrate the ROI of their AI investments, platforms like Oracle’s new AI Agent Studio can enable customization that addresses unique business needs. We look forward to helping our joint clients across industries develop and deploy agentic AI for value creation and competitive edge.”

“Agents can help unlock the value of AI for the enterprise. We’re entering a period of agentic organizations that will fundamentally change how we work across functions and industries,” said Dan Priest, US chief AI officer, PWC. “PwC’s unmatched track record of teaming with Oracle to transform our clients’ businesses makes us very excited about what we can do with Oracle’s AI Agent Studio — more IQ, new capabilities, all lead to great possibilities.”

Industry Analyst Support

“The new Oracle AI Agent Studio is an impressive next step for Oracle’s AI strategy. To truly optimize the impact of AI agents, organizations need to be able to customize the way they work to fit their unique business needs,” said Holger Mueller, vice president and principal analyst, Constellation Research. “The evolution of AI across the enterprise is moving at a rapid pace and by enabling agents to be created, extended, deployed, and managed across the entire enterprise, Oracle will help its customers accelerate adoption and automation.”

“Oracle has AI-enabled their enterprise applications over the last few years with AI assistants, advisors, and agents. This product focus has enabled Oracle to extend this AI-enablement in the launch of its AI Agent Studio,” said Mickey North Rizza, group vice president, IDC. “The future of work is upon us, and Oracle is helping its customers and partners quickly and easily take advantage of agents in a way that will drive meaningful business value. To have this kind of functionality at no extra cost is a huge win for Oracle customers.”

“Oracle continues to break new ground with its deployment of predictive, generative, and now agentic AI across the Oracle Fusion Applications Suite,” said Evelyn McMullen, research manager, Nucleus. “The new AI Agent Studio is a logical next step in Oracle’s strategy and will enable organizations to maximize AI output across every area of their business. Oracle is helping its customers build their own digital workforce, all under existing subscriptions. I think the studio will help Oracle customers unlock entirely new levels of productivity and success.”

Oracle Fusion Applications Suite enables organizations to take advantage of the cloud and the latest advancements in predictive, generative, and agentic AI to help break down organizational silos, standardize processes, and manage finance, HR, supply chain, and customer experience data on a single integrated cloud platform.
