OpenAI brings Oracle business apps to ChatGPT so workers can run company tasks from one chat
Companies using Oracle software can now ask ChatGPT to do finance, procurement, and planning work inside their approved business systems.

How it works
A ChatGPT workspace that connects Oracle business apps so workers run finance, procurement and planning tasks through chat.
- Type what you need in the chat
- ChatGPT finds info from your Oracle apps
- It completes the task within your permissions
Guess
How long did Oracle's recruiting team once spend on market research?
The story says preparation previously took two to four days.
What you could do with it
- A finance team member could describe what they need to accomplish in ChatGPT and complete workflows across Oracle finance, procurement, and planning apps without switching between tools 1.
- An Oracle recruiting team could use ChatGPT Work for market research that previously took two to four days to compile, with preparation now taking just 15 to 20 minutes 1.
- Customers could use Oracle AI Security Mesh to find and fix vulnerabilities in their applications and computer infrastructure safely and within their authorized scope 1.
An exampleInvented to explain it
Maya, a finance team member reviewing month-end costs
MayaShow me all costs across departments this month
Oracle AI WorkspaceHere are the totals by department from Finance and Procurement
MayaWhich purchases still need approval before end of month?
Oracle AI WorkspaceThree items need sign-off: Office Supplies $840, Server licenses $2,100, Training software $560
Maya reviewed everything in one chat instead of logging into multiple Oracle dashboards.
What Oracle AI Workspace does
The centerpiece of the updated partnership is a new tool called Oracle AI Workspace, which runs inside ChatGPT 1. It is designed to connect Oracle applications and data so people can describe what they need to accomplish and then complete business workflows in one place .
For example, a new member of a finance team could use ChatGPT to look into costs, understand purchasing decisions, and see what still needs to be done before the end of the month 1. The tool pulls information from finance, procurement, and planning applications together, while staying inside each employee's approved permissions and access levels .
The broader aim is to streamline how people find, use, and oversee Oracle software—reducing administrative complexity, offering a single sign-on, and tying access rights to the permissions each company already has in place.
Other new Oracle products powered by OpenAI
Alongside the workspace, Oracle announced three additional offerings that use OpenAI technology 1.
The Oracle AI Security Mesh helps customers locate and patch vulnerabilities in their apps and infrastructure by relying on OpenAI cyber models. Oracle manages the testing infrastructure, so customers can run these security checks safely and only within their authorized scope 1.
The Oracle AI SMB Bundle pairs ChatGPT Business and Codex with Oracle applications and includes recurring Oracle Cloud Infrastructure credits, all intended to support small businesses in developing products and running operations.
With Oracle App Composer, teams can build apps using Codex and other AI assistants, link those apps to authorized Oracle data and workflows, and distribute them throughout their organization. Oracle handles the deployment on its cloud, with company permissions and access controls built in 1.
How businesses can get access
The two companies already have a broader relationship that includes the OpenAI API, ChatGPT Work, and Codex 1. According to Oracle, the company has 130,000 active ChatGPT users and over 95,000 active Codex users . Its recruiting team uses ChatGPT Work for market research that previously took two to four days to compile; preparation now takes 15 to 20 minutes .
In the United States, Oracle customers can buy access to the OpenAI API, Codex, and ChatGPT Work via Oracle Marketplace, paying through their usual procurement channels and applying eligible Oracle Universal Credits 1.
What this signals for enterprise AI
The expanded partnership points toward what both companies call an agent-ready enterprise, where people and AI helpers work together across business applications in one connected environment 1. Rather than logging into multiple dashboards, workers could stay in a single chat interface and still complete tasks across finance, procurement, security, and app development, as long as their organization has approved those actions .
How good is it
According to Oracle, its recruiting team used ChatGPT Work for market research that previously required two to four days of preparation, a task that now takes only 15 to 20 minutes 1. With 130,000 active ChatGPT users and over 95,000 active Codex users, Oracle shared these figures . There are no independent benchmarks or rival comparisons reported in the sources.
