AUSTIN, Texas – September 16, 2025 – Oracle today announced a significant expansion of its artificial intelligence capabilities within Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, introducing new AI agents specifically tailored for Human Capital Management (HCM). These innovative agents are set to transform HR processes by automating workflows, delivering personalized career guidance, and enhancing overall talent management across organizations.
Chris Leone, executive vice president of Applications Development at Oracle, emphasized the growing need for advanced technology in HR. “As organizations navigate increasing workforce complexity and growing employee expectations, HR leaders need technology that streamlines manual processes and enhances engagement,” said Leone. “The new AI agents to be embedded in Oracle Fusion Applications cover HR processes from hire to retire and this enables HR leaders to improve the employee experience, drive continuous performance management, automate time-consuming tasks, and help employees and managers focus on what truly matters—delivering impactful business outcomes.”
The new AI agents are designed to address various critical HR functions:
Increased Workforce Productivity: Oracle is at the forefront of embedding AI agents to automate workflows, provide personalized career guidance, and enhance talent management.
Enhanced Candidate Experience: Oracle Recruiting and Oracle Recruiting Booster, recently recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Talent Acquisition (Recruiting) Suites, leverage embedded AI to expand talent pools, foster internal mobility, and streamline the hiring process.
