Oracle Debuts New AI Agents as the Artificial Intelligence War Heats Up
Oracle (ORCL) has unveiled its latest AI agents designed to enhance supply chain management, marking another major step in the AI arms race. The announcement, made at Oracle’s CloudWorld event in Austin, comes on the heels of its involvement in the massive Stargate Project alongside OpenAI and SoftBank, which aims to build AI-focused data centers across the U.S.
Oracle’s AI Agents for Supply Chain
These new AI agents are designed to assist supply chain workers in various roles, including procurement, sustainability, product inspections, and logistics. As specialized AI bots, they can act autonomously or under human supervision, integrating across multiple applications to automate time-consuming tasks.
According to Oracle’s executive vice president of applications development, Chris Leone, the AI agents “help ease the administrative burden by streamlining workflows and automating routine tasks to enable greater accuracy and efficiency, smarter decision-making, and ultimately, a more agile and responsive supply chain.”
The agents are available through Oracle’s Fusion Cloud Supply Chain and Manufacturing platform, further solidifying Oracle’s push into AI-driven enterprise solutions.
AI Agents: The Next Big Trend
Oracle joins major tech giants Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), and Nvidia (NVDA) in betting big on AI agents, which are being positioned as the next major evolution in artificial intelligence. These tools aim to optimize business operations by handling repetitive but critical tasks, boosting efficiency and productivity.
Microsoft has already launched an AI agent builder within Copilot Studio
Google offers a similar tool through its Vertex AI Agent Builder
The Stargate Project: A $500 Billion AI Infrastructure Play
Oracle’s AI momentum is further underscored by its involvement in the Stargate Project, a groundbreaking initiative led by OpenAI’s Sam Altman, SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son, and Oracle’s Larry Ellison. The project plans to invest up to $500 billion in constructing AI data centers across the U.S., with the first facility currently being built in Texas.
This initiative is expected to significantly bolster AI computing power and Oracle’s standing in the cloud industry, where it currently trails behind Amazon (AWS), Microsoft (Azure), and Google Cloud in market share.
Oracle’s Stock Performance & Market Position
Despite trailing its larger cloud rivals, Oracle’s cloud infrastructure revenue surged 52% in Q2 to $2.4 billion, while cloud application revenue increased by 10% to $3.5 billion. However, the company missed analyst expectations, causing a dip in its stock.
Over the past 12 months, Oracle’s stock has climbed 41%, outpacing:
Microsoft (+7%)
Google (+27%)
Amazon (+47%), however, still leads in performance.
The Takeaway
Oracle is aggressively investing in AI to close the gap with cloud giants while riding the industry-wide AI surge. With its new AI agents for supply chain management and its role in the Stargate Project, the company is positioning itself as a key player in the future of enterprise AI. However, it remains to be seen how it will compete with Microsoft, Amazon, and Google in the cloud wars.
