What happened
OpenAI and Oracle are expanding their partnership to bring Oracle applications and data into ChatGPT, and Oracle is developing Oracle AI Workspace for that integration. Oracle reported 130,000 active ChatGPT users and more than 95,000 active Codex users.

The expanded partnership builds on an existing commercial relationship across the OpenAI API, ChatGPT Work and Codex. Oracle's own usage figures — 130,000 active ChatGPT users and more than 95,000 active Codex users — suggest the tools are already in use inside the company, and its recruiting team's shift from two-to-four-day market research to 15–20 minutes of preparation gives a concrete example of that.
The two companies describe a shared vision for an "agent-ready enterprise" where people and AI agents work across business applications in one connected environment. Oracle AI Workspace is the vehicle for that vision inside ChatGPT: the stated goal is for people to describe what they need to accomplish, find the right information and complete approved business workflows in one place, with unified sign-in and access governed by each organization's permissions and approvals.
On Oracle's side, the new offerings extend OpenAI models into security, small-business bundles and app building. Oracle AI Security Mesh uses OpenAI cyber models with Oracle managing the testing infrastructure, Oracle AI SMB Bundle pairs ChatGPT Business and Codex with Oracle applications and recurring Oracle Cloud Infrastructure credits, and Oracle App Composer is designed to help teams build apps with Codex and connect them to approved Oracle data and workflows. No availability date is given for any of these.
