Oracle FY26 Fast Start – The Future of Applications is AI-First

Oracle is doubling down on its vision of AI-first enterprise applications, and at the FY26 Fast Start, it became clear that the future of Fusion Applications is deeply rooted in artificial intelligence. Here’s a distilled look at the key announcements and direction.

Data Powers AI – And AI Understands Your Business

In Oracle's vision, data is the fuel that powers AI. When your business data lives in one place—within Oracle Fusion Applications—AI can truly understand how your organization works, enabling smarter, faster decisions across all functions.

The Evolution of AI in Oracle Applications

Oracle’s journey with AI has been steady and purposeful:

  • 2017 – Predictive AI was embedded into Fusion to help forecast and automate decisions

  • 2023 – Generative AI came into play, enhancing how users interact and consume insights

  • 2024 – Task-based AI agents started handling simple, focused processes

  • 2025 – The upcoming evolution introduces skill-based agents and agent teams, capable of executing more complex and collaborative tasks

Embedded AI vs Custom AI

Oracle now offers two clear paths for using AI in Fusion:

  • Embedded AI – These are built directly into Oracle Fusion processes and powered by Oracle-optimized LLMs. There’s no extra cost, and the AI works out of the box across common business flows.

  • Custom AI – For businesses with unique needs, Oracle allows the use of custom or third-party LLMs. This approach is tailored to industry-specific challenges and is priced separately.

Getting Started with AI Agents

Oracle is making AI accessible, whether you're a new customer or already using Fusion:

  • New Implementations – AI is enabled by default. Just turn it on.

  • Existing Customers – Identify key areas needing improvement and adopt AI agents where they create the most impact.

There are already over 100 AI agents available across Finance, SCM, HCM, and other areas of Fusion.

Oracle AI Agent Studio

Oracle has introduced the AI Agent Studio, a powerful tool that allows customers and partners to build, customize, and extend AI agents using the same design framework Oracle itself uses. It’s a significant step in democratizing AI development within the Oracle ecosystem.

How Partners Can Accelerate Their Oracle Practice

The Oracle Partner Network is also evolving to support this AI-first direction. Partners are encouraged to strengthen their practices through:

  1. Education and Certification – Stay current with AI innovations and Oracle solutions

  2. Oracle Cloud Success Navigator – A guided framework to accelerate customer outcomes

  3. Digital Learning – Leverage Oracle MyLearn and the Oracle University Learning Community for continuous growth
