Oracle AI Database 26ai: AI Made Simple for Enterprise (10:07)
Oracle AI Database 26ai Powers the AI for Data Revolution
Oracle has architected AI into the core of Oracle AI Database 26ai, furthering Oracle’s commitment to helping customers securely bring AI to all their data, everywhere.
- The "AI for Data" revolution is here
AI is fundamentally reshaping how we think about data and apps. In this Oracle AI World main stage keynote, you'll hear from Juan Loaiza, Oracle’s EVP of database technologies, and T.K. Anand, Oracle’s EVP of healthcare and analytics, as they explore what the AI-driven future looks like. - Announcing Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse
It combines Oracle Autonomous AI Database with vendor-independent Apache Iceberg, enabling customers to run AI and analytics securely on all their data—available on OCI, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Exadata Cloud@Customer. - Oracle is redefining the analytical database market
The latest IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Analytical Databases 2025–2026 Vendor Assessment highlights the strengths of Oracle Autonomous AI Database in autonomous operations, scale and performance with Exadata, and broad in-database analytics capabilities. - Multicloud solutions
Accelerate innovation and cloud migration with the power and flexibility to deploy OCI Oracle AI Database services in any cloud. Combine the best of the cloud with your data to quickly build and modernize applications.
Why Oracle AI Database?
AI designed for data
AI is natively architected into Oracle AI Database and SQL, making it simpler, faster, more secure, and more trustworthy, while also enabling AI that spans all your business data.
No need for separate AI specialized databases, pipelines, or infrastructure. This reduces architectural and data sprawl, streamlines operations, lowers TCO, and reduces maintenance.
Explore key AI designed for data features
End data chaos
Oracle AI Database unifies all major data models and workloads in a single converged engine, so you can eliminate data sprawl and reduce complexity.
With one platform, organizations gain more efficient operations, consistent security, and scalable performance—without the friction of managing multiple systems.

End data lock-in
No lock-in. You choose the deployment cloud or platform and the AI model or framework, and you run using open standard languages, APIs, and data formats.
Run on any leading cloud, hybrid, or on-premises. Build using open standard SQL, REST, JavaScript, and Apache Iceberg for future-proof portability.

End data risk
Oracle AI Database, Exadata, and Autonomous AI Database deliver stock exchange-grade performance, availability, and security across every platform, for every workload, from the smallest to the largest.
96% of Fortune 100 businesses and hundreds of thousands of smaller companies run their most critical workloads on Oracle AI Database, including the largest banks, retailers, telecoms, and governments.

Unified memory core for AI agents
Oracle AI Database is the best memory core for enterprise agents. AI agents often must process vector, JSON, graph, columnar, spatial, text, and relational data in the same context, but only Oracle AI Database processes these diverse data types in the same database engine, under the same transactional guarantees, so developers can pull all the context they need in one query.
Oracle AI Database allows agents to persist state, recall prior context, and execute long-running workflows against governed, mission-critical data, without stitching together different data stores.

Agility of documents, power of SQL
Oracle AI Database is the only platform where JSON documents and relational tables aren't competing storage models—they're synchronized views of the same data.
You get full MongoDB API compatibility and zero schema overhead, but with a major architectural advantage—our OSON binary format delivers O(1) field access for superior performance.
With Oracle JSON Relational Duality, updates are bidirectional across document and relational interfaces, giving developers document agility and data teams SQL analytics, without needing ETL pipelines.

Start free, build fast
Oracle makes it simple to build your app. Start in seconds with our lightweight Docker container or Always Free tier, which enable you to build locally on your laptop and move to production without changing your data layer.
We support the tools you already use, such as SQL, REST, and MongoDB-compatible APIs, so you can build fast in ways that fit your preferred workflows.
Plus, it plugs natively into today’s AI ecosystem, including LangChain and LlamaIndex, helping you build AI workflows directly on governed data without the complexity of managing another data service.

We validate so you can innovate
AI makes iteration dramatically faster, which then makes validation your biggest bottleneck. Oracle removes this friction by building validation directly into the core of your data.
We automate data security, correctness, and evolvability by enforcing business rules, ACID consistency, and API evolution deep in the data engine and across heterogeneous data and messaging.
This reduces errors and hallucinations and grounds agents in up-to-date data. You build faster because we automate the annoying parts and help you fly past the painful rules and reviews required by Ops and InfoSec.

Oracle AI Database Delivers Mission-Critical Agentic AI Built for Business Data
Hasan Rizvi, Executive Vice President, Oracle Database Engineering
In just a few years, AI has gone from novelty to ubiquity, shaping everything from how we find information to how we work. Many organizations, however, are still stuck in pilot mode while others are seeing AI projects fail in production. The challenge is the data foundation. Today, we’re excited to introduce agentic AI innovations that transform how organizations like yours build, deploy, and scale AI safely and securely.
