“We plan, in our Fusion accounting system, for example, we will have a complex agent that does something called the close. So when you close your books with Fusion in the not-too-distant future, it will be an autonomous agent—no human beings involved.”

In context

“ll just end with: we provide a bunch of prebuilt agents for all of our applications. But in addition, we provide a development environment—the AI Data Platform development environment—that allows our customers to easily add their own agents to what we built. We do not think we can build all the application agents for a banking system or all the application agents for a health care system. A lot of our partners are going to do that. A lot of our customers are going to do that. What the AI Data Platform does is it provides a complete integrated development environment where you can build your own agents using any AI model that is in the Oracle Cloud. And that is basically all of the popular AI models. You can use it for coding the agent. You can use it to do multistep reasoning for queries. We plan, in our Fusion accounting system, for example, we will have a complex agent that does something called the close. So when you close your books with Fusion in the not-too-distant future, it will be an autonomous agent—no human beings involved. You will close your books by simply telling the AI agent to go ahead and close the books, and then you will get your results. We provide a lot of AI capability built into our applications, but they are open. They are open to allow our customers and our partners to add to that portfolio of agents, and we build an entire ecosystem that automates health care, automates financial services, automates retail. That is what AI is allowing us to do: to expand our horizons for the scope of the suites of the SaaS software we are building to automate entire ecosystems. Let me talk about health care. In health care, Epic automates hospitals—acute care hospitals—and, in some cases, clinics, but primarily acute care hospitals. We automate acute care hospitals. We automate clinics. We automate laboratori”
