Oracle rebuilds its Fusion finance and procurement apps to hand routine tasks over to AI agents

Oracle announced updates to its Fusion suite of cloud-based business software that shift routine tasks like entering invoices and creating purchase orders to AI agents, while repositioning human employees toward higher-value work like supplier negotiation and supply chain risk decisions. The changes allow employees to ask business questions in plain language, with AI pulling relevant data from across Oracle's suite and connected third-party applications to surface answers and recommendations. The revamp comes as Oracle's shares are down around 40% this year amid investor concerns that AI tools could displace complex enterprise software, a worry Oracle executives have argued the Fusion updates directly address.
