IBM (IBM) has launched three new AI agents that are now available in Oracle’s AI Agent Marketplace. These agents are built to help Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications users handle routine tasks more efficiently. Developed using Oracle’s AI Agent Studio, the agents include an Intercompany Agent that automates reviewing agreements between company divisions, a Smart Sales Order Entry Agent that speeds up creating sales orders, and a Requisition to Contract Agent that helps turn purchase requests into contracts.

Interestingly, Oracle’s Kaushal Kurapati said that the agents can help companies work faster and smarter. At the same time, IBM’s Neil Dhar added that by combining their strengths in AI and business systems, IBM and Oracle can help clients use AI to improve operations and stay competitive. IBM also plans to add more agents focused on HR and supply chain tasks.
These new tools will be built using IBM’s watsonx Orchestrate platform, which is designed to manage multiple AI agents across both Oracle and non-Oracle systems. In addition, the platform runs on Red Hat OpenShift AI and will help coordinate how agents work together. Finally, Oracle also plans to offer IBM’s Granite 4.0 AI models through its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Data Science platform. These updates show that IBM and Oracle are trying to make AI more useful and accessible for business users.
