Oracle has announced the launch of a new generation of AI-powered agents integrated into Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, designed to help HR leaders optimize end-to-end processes: from hiring to retirement. These agents aim to automate tasks, enhance the employee experience, and strengthen talent management in an increasingly complex job market.
A Response to Talent Complexity
“The growing complexity of the workforce and employee expectations require technological solutions that reduce manual processes and increase engagement,” explained Chris Leone, EVP of application development at Oracle.
The new AI Agents from Oracle run on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), with advanced security and no additional costs. Their unique value lies in being embedded within existing workflows, enabling HR teams, managers, and employees to act faster and make data-driven decisions.

Oracle has detailed how these AI agents can transform key HR areas:
Internal Mobility and Recruitment
- Job Discovery Agent: connects employees with internal opportunities based on their experience and interests, indicating their suitability and how they can stand out.
- Job Fit Advisor Agent: offers role compatibility assessments, training recommendations, and policy guidance.
- Interview Management Agent: automates interview scheduling, managing calendars, reminders, and resolving scheduling conflicts.

Oracle Fusion Cloud: An Integrated Suite with AI at Its Core
The agents complement the Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications suite, which offers a unified ecosystem for managing finance, operations, HR, supply chain, and customer experience:
