Oracle announced on Tuesday that it has decided to take its collaboration with OpenAI one step further—directly integrating ChatGPT and Codex into its own application software, making the previously silent database easier to use and manage. At the Oracle AI World conference in Las Vegas, Mahesh Tiragajan, President of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, demonstrated this approach on the spot: using ChatGPT, “anyone can build applications, deploy applications, and manage applications.” In a nutshell, that database world that used to be only accessible to professional engineers is now being opened up by AI, allowing ordinary people to get in through a crack.
For OpenAI, this announcement is another indication of its aggressive push into the enterprise market. Just a day ago, its main competitor Anthropic just submitted its S-1 document during the rush to issue its initial public offering, and the intense competition between the two cutting-edge labs in the enterprise sector is becoming more direct. As ChatGPT and the Coding agent Codex penetrate the vast customer network of甲骨文 into enterprise operations, AI assistants are no longer just dialogue windows in the cloud, but begin to integrate within the core systems that support global business operations.
