## Oracle leads on apps and agents
Oracle speaks with the most clarity about how AI agents and applications will work together, a critical question for customers.
## Nadella predicted apps would be hollowed out
Two years ago, Microsoft's CEO said AI and agents would make applications much less valuable and take command.
## Oracle's industry suites blend both
CEO Safra Catz says Oracle's application suites are evolving into industry suites that blend agents and apps together.
## AI accelerates apps, doesn't replace them
Catz stated that AI is an accelerator for packaged applications, not a replacement for them.

> AI is an accelerator for packaged apps, not a replacement.
## Employees will oversee AI agents
Workers will shift to overseeing agents, resolving exceptions, and using human judgment for complex decisions.
## Fusion agentic applications explained
Oracle calls this tight blending of apps and agents 'fusion' agentic applications, making seamless collaboration possible.
## Key takeaway

Oracle sees AI agents as accelerators for applications, not replacements, with both working together in tight integration.
