The update, announced at the AI World Tour on Thursday (April 9), aims to move enterprise software beyond passive tools to systems that can reason, decide, and act, while addressing growing pressure from investors to prove the return on AI investments.
The company announced that it will expand its Financial Crime and Compliance Management (FCCM) platform by integrating technology from Lucinity, which specializes in AI-driven financial crime prevention. FCCM platforms are used by banks and financial institutions to monitor transactions, detect suspicious activity, and meet regulatory obligations. Oracle’s update incorporates agents into the AI Investigator system to streamline incident management and investigation.
These agents can uncover relevant data, automate manual steps, and recommend next actions throughout the lifecycle of a financial crime case. Oracle emphasized a “human-AI-centric” approach. This means investigators can maintain control while AI enhances decision-making. The system also uses explainable AI, which is a way to make algorithmic decision-making transparent and auditable. This is an important requirement in a regulated industry.
In parallel, Oracle introduced new Fusion Agentic Applications that span customer experience, finance and supply chain functions. Built into Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications and leveraging large-scale language models (LLMs), AI systems trained on vast datasets to understand and generate language, these tools are designed to autonomously execute business processes within predefined rules.
Use cases include contract compliance monitoring, sales and marketing optimization, cash collection, supply chain logistics, and more. Applications operate within existing enterprise systems, accessing data, workflows, and approval structures to perform tasks while flagging exceptions that require human intervention.

“Agent applications that can reason, decide, and act based on defined goals enable finance and supply chain teams to move from passive productivity to proactive systems,” Steve Miranda, Oracle’s executive vice president of application development, said in a statement.
This deployment builds on Oracle’s broader agent AI strategy. The company recently released more than 20 agent applications and enhanced AI Agent Studio to help enterprises build and deploy AI-driven workflows. These efforts align with Oracle’s efforts to integrate AI directly into its cloud ecosystem.
This expansion comes amid financial and market pressures. Oracle is facing intense investor scrutiny over its declining stock price, layoffs and heavy spending on AI infrastructure with no clear short-term benefits. Against this backdrop, Oracle’s latest announcement signals a continued bet that incorporating AI agents into core business processes will improve efficiency and justify the investment.
