OpenAI and Oracle expand their partnership to bring Oracle apps into ChatGPT

OpenAI says it is expanding its partnership with Oracle to bring Oracle applications and data into ChatGPT and to power new Oracle products with OpenAI models. According to OpenAI, Oracle is developing Oracle AI Workspace, which would let people find information and complete approved business workflows across Oracle finance, procurement and planning applications from ChatGPT, within each organization's permissions and approvals.

Oracle is also announcing three offerings built with OpenAI, as OpenAI describes them:

• Oracle AI Security Mesh helps customers find and fix vulnerabilities using OpenAI cyber models, with Oracle managing the testing infrastructure.
• Oracle AI SMB Bundle combines ChatGPT Business and Codex with Oracle applications and recurring Oracle Cloud Infrastructure credits.
• Oracle App Composer helps teams build apps with Codex and other AI tools, connect them to approved Oracle data and workflows, and deploy on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Oracle customers in the U.S. can buy access to the OpenAI API, Codex and ChatGPT Work through Oracle Marketplace, using existing procurement processes and eligible Oracle Universal Credits. OpenAI says Oracle reported 130,000 active ChatGPT users and more than 95,000 active Codex users.
