Oracle is expanding its partnership with OpenAI as the technology companies look to bring artificial intelligence deeper into everyday business operations. The companies unveiled a new set of AI tools at Oracle AI World in Las Vegas on Oct. 27, targeting tasks ranging from software development and financial management to cybersecurity.
The centerpiece of the announcement is Oracle AI Workspace, a platform designed to connect OpenAI models, including ChatGPT and Codex, with Oracle’s enterprise software and cloud infrastructure. The goal is to help employees complete routine work without constantly switching between different applications.
The platform connects ChatGPT with business systems such as Oracle NetSuite, Oracle Fusion Applications and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Employees can use natural language prompts to find company information, carry out approved tasks and interact with multiple Oracle systems through a single interface.
For example, a finance employee could ask ChatGPT to review recent expenses or check purchasing decisions without leaving the chat window. Oracle said the system will follow existing company approval procedures, access permissions and data policies, allowing businesses to use AI while maintaining control over sensitive information and internal workflows.

The partnership also introduces tools aimed at helping companies develop their own applications and reduce their reliance on specialized technical teams. Oracle App Composer, another product announced at the event, will allow employees to build internal business applications even if they have little or no coding experience.
The tool uses OpenAI’s Codex to generate software code, while Oracle manages the deployment process through OCI. The applications can connect to authorized company data, and the platform supports APEXlang, a technology intended to keep generated code organized and easier to maintain over time.
Cybersecurity is another focus of the expanded collaboration. Oracle introduced AI Security Mesh, a managed service that uses OpenAI’s cybersecurity models to identify and address vulnerabilities across corporate networks before attackers can exploit them.
The service is designed to work across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, other cloud platforms and on-premises servers. Oracle will manage safeguards intended to prevent security testing from disrupting business operations, while customers will retain control over which parts of their networks can be tested.

Oracle is also targeting smaller businesses that may lack the budgets and technical resources of larger corporations. Its new AI SMB Bundle brings together ChatGPT Business, Codex, Oracle AI Workspace and NetSuite QuickStart, giving small businesses access to tools for building applications and managing essential operations such as invoicing and cash flow.
Eligible small businesses can receive up to $12,000 in annual Oracle cloud credits under the offering. The credits are intended to help startups and smaller companies develop products and manage their operations without having to make a substantial upfront investment in cloud infrastructure.
Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk said the partnership brings together OpenAI’s AI capabilities and Oracle’s enterprise infrastructure. The expanded offering reflects a broader push by technology companies to move generative AI beyond standalone chatbots and integrate it into the systems businesses already use.
However, Oracle has not yet announced official pricing or release dates for all the individual products. The rollout will determine how quickly businesses can adopt the tools and whether the new offerings can simplify the process of building, deploying and managing AI-powered applications while maintaining security and oversight.
