New Fusion Claw applications help business and HR leaders achieve defined workforce outcomes with greater speed and confidence by continuously adapting and executing complex work with enterprise governance
LAS VEGAS, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HR Technology Conference — Oracle today announced new Fusion Claw-powered agentic applications for HR. Oracle Fusion Claw is a governed agentic execution runtime that enables Fusion Agentic Applications to reason, compute, adapt, and execute specialist-grade work including deep research, computation, simulation, modeling, and continuous replanning. Built into Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, the new Claw-powered agentic applications help organizations take on complex, high-value work more autonomously at scale, within established governance controls, from adapting staffing plans and aligning workforce demand with capacity to accelerating recruiting and payroll operations.
“Business and HR leaders need a complete view of their workforce to make faster, more confident decisions about skills, staffing, labor costs, and employee experience, but business is moving too quickly for them to connect, assess, and take all the actions on their own,” said Lewis Thompson, senior vice president, Applications Development, Oracle. “With Claw-powered Fusion Agentic Applications for HR, business and HR leaders can reimagine the way they work by moving to governed action across core workforce processes. The applications reason across Oracle Fusion Applications data, provide context, coordinate the work required to meet business objectives, and carry out human-approved actions. This will help leaders drive stronger workforce outcomes with greater speed, consistency, and confidence.”
Agentic Applications represent a new class of outcome-based applications that provide Fusion Applications customers with a system of outcomes, where people define the objectives, authority, and accountability and the Agentic Applications coordinate the process to get to an outcome, within those parameters. Fusion Claw enables Agentic Applications to take on more complex, specialist-grade work by providing a new execution runtime that supports larger-scale and longer-running work, continuous replanning, deterministic execution, and governed automation, within organizational policies and controls.
Running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, powered by industry-leading LLMs, and extending the world’s most complete suite of cloud applications, the new Fusion Agentic Applications move beyond assistance to governed execution, helping business and HR leaders improve outcomes while maintaining established oversight and approvals. New Fusion Agentic Applications available within Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM) include:

- Workforce Orchestration: Develops workforce plans that balance demand shifts, cost, and operational continuity by evaluating development, redeployment, hiring, and external talent options, then coordinating and launching actions that are approved through organizational review.
