OpenAI and Oracle Expand Partnership to Integrate Apps into ChatGPT

OpenAI and Oracle announced an expanded partnership on October 27, 2026, aimed at bringing Oracle applications and data into ChatGPT. The collaboration also involves powering new Oracle products and services with OpenAI models and products. According to a statement from OpenAI, the companies aim to help businesses use AI to run core operations, build better applications, and strengthen security.

Integration with ChatGPT

The partnership builds on an existing commercial relationship involving the OpenAI API, ChatGPT Work, and Codex. Oracle reported 130,000 active ChatGPT users and more than 95,000 active Codex users. The company noted that its recruiting team uses ChatGPT Work for market research, reducing the time required to compile data from two to four days to 15–20 minutes.

Oracle is developing Oracle AI Workspace to integrate Oracle applications and data into ChatGPT. The stated goal is to allow users to describe tasks, find information, and complete approved business workflows in a single environment. For example, a finance team member could use ChatGPT to investigate costs and understand purchasing decisions by accessing information from finance, procurement, and planning applications. OpenAI states that this approach helps employees use Oracle software within their organization’s permissions and approvals.

New Oracle Offerings

Alongside the workspace integration, Oracle announced several new offerings built with OpenAI models and tools:

• Oracle AI Security Mesh: Designed to help customers find and fix vulnerabilities in applications and infrastructure using OpenAI cyber models. Oracle manages the testing infrastructure to ensure these capabilities are used safely and within authorized scopes.
• Oracle AI SMB Bundle: Combines ChatGPT Business and Codex with Oracle applications and recurring Oracle Cloud Infrastructure credits. This bundle is intended to help small businesses build products and manage operations.
• Oracle App Composer: Designed to help teams build apps with Codex and other AI tools, connect them to approved Oracle data and workflows, and share them across their organization. Oracle manages deployment on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure with built-in company permissions and access controls.

Marketplace Access

Oracle customers in the U.S. can now purchase access to the OpenAI API, Codex, and ChatGPT Work through Oracle Marketplace. This allows customers to use existing procurement processes and eligible Oracle Universal Credits.

Why it matters

This expansion signals a deeper integration of generative AI into enterprise resource planning and core business operations. By embedding AI capabilities directly into widely used Oracle software and offering them through established procurement channels, the partnership aims to lower the barrier for businesses to adopt AI tools. The reported efficiency gains in specific internal use cases, such as recruiting, highlight the potential operational impact of these integrations.
