In today’s enterprise world, digital transformation no longer means just automating repetitive tasks — it means building systems that can think, adapt, and learn. As organizations face increasing complexity and faster data cycles, there’s growing demand for smarter systems that go beyond static workflows.

Enter AI agents — autonomous, intelligent digital entities that can observe their environment, make decisions, and act without constant human intervention. While traditional integrations operate like scripted flows, AI agents introduce flexibility, learning, and context-awareness into business automation.

Oracle is also making the shift with its Oracle Integration AI Agents, bringing AI natively into Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC). These agents enhance integrations with real-time intelligence, helping organizations transition from rule-based automation to adaptive, outcome-driven processes.
