The new runtime pairs large language models with deterministic systems and adds 25 applications to Oracle's agentic lineup
Oracle wants its AI to stop giving advice and start doing the job.
On September 29, 2026, the company introduced Fusion Claw, a governed agentic execution runtime for its Fusion Cloud Applications. The pitch is simple: AI agents that plan multi-step business tasks and then carry them out inside the system of record, within controls the customer sets.
What Oracle actually launched #
Fusion Claw arrived with 25 new Claw-powered applications on day one. That lifts the total count of Fusion Agentic Applications to 75.
The launch apps span several business functions. Oracle highlighted use cases including account reconciliation, workforce planning and shipping consolidation.
Under the hood, the runtime blends two very different kinds of computing. Large language models handle the reasoning and planning. Deterministic enterprise computation handles the actual transactions, the part where numbers have to be exactly right every single time.
Oracle says the system uses AI where it adds value and leans on deterministic systems for high-volume operations.
Fusion Claw runs on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or OCI. It supports models from both Google Gemini and OpenAI, so customers are not locked into a single model provider.
Why some work has stayed stubbornly manual #
Oracle framed the launch around a specific category of enterprise labor. Its announcement opens with a line that doubles as a mission statement:
AI, tech, and the markets they move—in one daily briefing.
Daily. Free. Join 34,000+ readers across crypto, finance, and policy.
“For decades, we built enterprise software to help people do work.”
The company used account reconciliation as its showcase example. According to Oracle, this kind of task has resisted automation for three reasons.
First, it demands reasoning and precision at once. Second, it happens inside the transactional system itself. Third, it has to leave an audit trail behind.
Oracle’s argument is that most AI deployments today sit next to the enterprise system rather than inside it. They lack native access to the data, workflows, permissions and approvals required to take action. Fusion Claw is Oracle’s attempt to close that gap. Because the agents operate within the application layer, they can theoretically work with the same permissions and approval chains a human employee would.
Rollout, pricing and the people behind it #
The initial rollout began in early October 2026. Broader access is tied to subscriptions for Oracle’s Agentic Applications.
Claw applications are metered at 10 to 20 times the standard rate for frontier models, with charges calculated in Oracle AI Units. Each unit is valued at one cent.
Oracle SVP Natalia Rachelson is among the key spokespeople for the project, alongside executives Vivek Kumar and Kaushal Kurapati.
Oracle also signaled more is coming. The company planned to introduce further applications at October 2026 industry events, including the HR Technology Conference and Oracle AI World.
Background: borrowing from open source #
The Claw name is not accidental. Oracle’s approach draws inspiration from the OpenClaw project, adapted for enterprise applications running on OCI.
Fusion Claw is essentially Oracle putting a suit and tie on that idea. The emphasis on user-defined policies and governance frameworks is the selling point, not a footnote.
