In partnership with
Oracle announced an expanded OpenAI partnership yesterday at Oracle AI World in Las Vegas, and it came with 4 new products.
Oracle's release says the deal brings OpenAI models, ChatGPT and Codex together with Oracle's applications, data and cloud infrastructure. Unite.AI's writeup has the most detail on each piece, so here's the rundown.
Oracle AI Workspace gives employees one interface through plugins in ChatGPT. It connects to Fusion Applications, NetSuite, Oracle AI Database and OCI. Oracle calls it "coming soon" and gives no pricing.
Oracle AI Security Mesh is the one I'd watch. It's a managed service that uses OpenAI's cyber models to find and fix vulnerabilities across OCI, other clouds and on-premises environments. You define where testing is allowed. Agents propose a test plan for your approval, verify what they find, rank the fixes and help prep code changes for your team to sign off on. No availability date, no pricing.
Last Wednesday I wrote about AWS's pen-testing agent that exploited 33 of 37 fresh CVEs and crashed 2 targets along the way. Oracle's pitch has the approval step built in, at least on paper. I'd want to see how it behaves with a live service on the other end.
Your AI prompts are leaving out 80% of what you're thinking.
When you type a prompt, you summarize. When you speak one, you explain. Wispr Flow captures your full reasoning (constraints, edge cases, examples, tone) and turns it into clean, structured text you paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI tool. The difference shows up immediately. More context in, fewer follow-ups out.

Oracle App Composer lets employees build enterprise apps with Codex without coding expertise. Oracle runs deployment and operations on OCI, and Fortinet security checks run while apps are built and updated. It supports APEXlang, a new Oracle technology I hadn't heard of before today. This one is in Limited Availability.
Oracle AI SMB Bundle packages ChatGPT Business, AI Workspace, Codex, App Composer, OCI and NetSuite QuickStart for small businesses. It's "free-to-start," which means $12,000 a year in Oracle cloud credits for up to 3 years. OCI usage beyond the credits is billable.
The eligibility list is narrow. Verified, privately held, for-profit US businesses only, and existing Oracle customers that have consumed more than $250,000 in Oracle credits are out.
A few grains of salt. This is all vendor announcement, and I haven't seen independent testing of anything above. Only the SMB bundle has pricing, and only App Composer has any availability status beyond "coming soon" or nothing.
The part that matters for those of us on Azure, AWS and Google Cloud is that Security Mesh claims to reach across clouds. Oracle is selling an AI agent that scans your environment, wherever it lives. That raises the same question we've hit all fall with agents from every vendor. Which identity does it use, and what can that identity touch?
If you're studying for a cloud security or AI cert, practice the answer to that question for each platform. Scoped, auditable agent permissions come up a lot in scenario questions.
And if your company is evaluating any of these, ask for the authorization model in writing before the demo, not after.
Keep Learning and Building.
