Oracle announced Fusion Claw on 29 September, adding a governed execution runtime to 25 new Fusion Agentic Applications within a portfolio it says now totals 75, according to its announcement.
Key points
- Oracle says customers can set permissions, approval requirements and risk thresholds for work carried out by Fusion Claw.
- The 25 new applications cover work in finance, human resources, supply chains and sales.
- Oracle says the runtime runs on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and uses models including Gemini and OpenAI.
Fusion Claw extends Oracle’s agentic applications
Oracle describes Fusion Claw as a runtime for work that requires extended research, modelling, computation and changes to a plan while the work is under way. Its design assigns planning and reasoning to an AI model, while using deterministic computation for execution. Oracle says that division could make high-volume work more economical by limiting model use to the parts that require it.
The company says Fusion Applications customers access the runtime through Claw-powered applications rather than as a separate tool. Customers can choose levels of automation ranging from assistance to execution within authority they have explicitly delegated, according to Oracle.
Natalia Rachelson, Oracle’s SVP Application Development, told diginomica that the company had moved over roughly two years from generative AI assistance to single-task agents, teams of agents and workflow agents. Oracle announced its Agentic Applications at the end of March 2026, she said. Rachelson described Fusion Claw as sitting between those applications and Fusion’s system of record, communicating with both to carry out work.
Oracle says the runtime operates on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, with Gemini and OpenAI among the models powering it. The company plans support for additional models over time. Its stated approach places the runtime inside the Fusion software customers use for business processes, with the applications defining the work it undertakes.
Oracle sets an Enterprise Operating Envelope
Oracle calls its customer-defined rules the Enterprise Operating Envelope. It says these can cover objectives, operating procedures, policies, constraints and permissions, as well as risk thresholds, decision rights, required approvals and points at which work must be escalated. Those rules determine the authority granted to an application for a particular task, according to the company.
Oracle says an Outcome Trust Harness applies controls to each run, governing the identity, capabilities, data and actions involved. At completion, an Outcome Receipt records the authority used, the evidence considered, decisions made, transactions carried out and the result. Those records are intended to give customers an audit trail for work that can proceed without approval at every step.
Kaushal Kurapati, Oracle’s group vice president of product management for Fusion Applications, told The AI Economy that a customer could require a person to approve a plan or permit the application to act autonomously. He said Oracle built Fusion Claw from scratch after assessing other Claw implementations against its requirements for security, trust and deterministic execution of enterprise workflows.
Nvidia’s NemoClaw also uses a secure runtime, called OpenShell, for an agent, The AI Economy reported. Kurapati’s account places Oracle’s product alongside that approach to controlling agent actions, while tying Fusion Claw’s execution to applications within its own business software.
Ledger and Workforce Staffing join 25 applications
Oracle says the 25 new applications are available now and can operate fully automatically when a customer grants the necessary authority. The examples span finance, human resources, supply chains and sales, with each application organised around a particular business process.
Ledger is designed to examine accounting entries, reconcile information and investigate exceptions, according to Oracle. The company says Workforce Staffing develops staffing plans against requirements including skills, availability, labour rules, costs and service coverage, then evaluates alternatives as conditions change.
Oracle says Shipping Consolidation models options against capacity, timing, costs and delivery commitments, and can carry an authorised plan into execution. Its Account Territory Growth Plan application compares sales territory configurations against capacity and other business constraints before taking action under the customer’s rules.
