How fast this is moving
Counted from Oracle's AI Features Report. Click a release to see what arrived.
Generative and predictive AI came first. Agents took over from 25C, and in 26D more than half of what's new is agentic applications.
★ My agent profiles
My practitioner view of the agents I'd look at first. Open a profile for its full history and what to check.
One workflow agent for viewing and updating personal details, from demographics and biographical data to citizenship, passports, visas and driving licences. It replaces the older Personal Information Assistant (now Person Data Assistant).
Good first agent? Maybe
Watch out: Agents built on the Personal Information Assistant (now Person Data Assistant) template still work, but that template won't be enhanced.
Retrieves employment details for one person at a time, such as job, grade, position, department, location, seniority and contract, and links to the right page to make a change.
Good first agent? Yes
Watch out: It answers about one person at a time; it isn't a reporting tool.
Helps managers find their team members' contact, personal and employment details, and links to the right page to start an employment action.
Good first agent? Yes
Watch out: Don't treat it as interchangeable with Employment Information Agent; their users and scope differ.
Helps people view and manage document records, such as certificates, visas and licences, for one person at a time.
Good first agent? Maybe
Watch out: Document Records Administration with AI Assistance is a separate capability for administrators.
Creates, views, edits and deletes jobs, and spots unused jobs or missing job information.
Good first agent? Maybe
Watch out: The older Jobs Assistant supervisor template is no longer supported for new builds.
Creates, views and edits positions, and helps check whether an existing position can be reused.
Good first agent? Maybe
Watch out: Some actions finish through a link into the normal page rather than in the conversation.
One place for employees to ask HR questions. It passes each question to the right agent behind it (Leave and Absence Analyst, Benefits Analyst, Compensation Advisor or Payslip Analyst), each answering from your policy documents.
Good first agent? Maybe
Watch out: Employees may treat its answers as official policy, so make it easy to check with HR.
One place for managers to ask about their team. It passes questions to Leave and Absence Analyst, Compensation Advisor and Employment Details Assistant, and from 26A includes a Team Data Hub for spotting patterns across the team.
Good first agent? Maybe
Watch out: Team-wide patterns, such as pay gaps or performance differences, are sensitive. Agree who acts on them and how.
Answers managers' questions about their team's leave and absence.
Good first agent? Yes
Watch out: Absence can reveal health information; be careful with summaries about individuals.
Helps managers understand their team's pay, with peer-group and market comparisons.
Good first agent? Not yet
Watch out: It's separate from Compensation Advisor (for employees).
Answers managers' questions about their team's talent information.
Good first agent? Not yet
Watch out: Talent information used to evaluate people falls into higher-risk territory under the EU AI Act.
Handles routine learning admin, such as marking attendees complete from an uploaded list, updating statuses or undoing completions, with a summary to approve before anything changes.
Good first agent? Yes
Watch out: Check the summary carefully for mass updates before approving.
Helps payroll teams investigate and understand an employee's payroll results.
Good first agent? Maybe
Watch out: It's separate from Payroll Summary Analyst, which provides the changes and exceptions summary.
A candidate-facing assistant on your careers site that recommends jobs, explains fit, helps with interview practice and, from 26D, lets candidates apply and manage their applications in a conversation, including over WhatsApp. It also answers questions about applications, pending actions, interviews and talent community preferences, and lets candidates withdraw applications when eligible. Candidates can retrieve and update their talent community preferences.
Good first agent? Maybe
Watch out: Default limits: 50 candidate messages per conversation, 100 per signed-in candidate per day and 10,000 per career site per day. Days are UTC and reset at 00:00 UTC; only candidate-submitted messages count. Check the limits against your volumes.
An "ask me anything" assistant on a job application that pulls together status, interview feedback, scores, assessments and background checks, with a candidate-authenticity confidence score from 26A.
Good first agent? Not yet
Watch out: Never reject a candidate on the score alone.

Replaced and retired
What Oracle has replaced, and what to move to.
Build new agents on Person Data Assistant. Existing agents still work but won't be enhanced.
As above.
Existing copies keep working; Oracle says the template will no longer be supported, so plan new work on the workflow agent.
As above.
Same agent under a new name; update any guides and training.
Check which prompts you'd switched on and test the workflow agents that replace them.
Review any agents built on it and plan to rebuild them as workflow agents.
BEFORE YOU SWITCH ANYTHING ON
The parts that decide whether an agent works in practice: governance, cost, people and proof.
METHOD
The catalogue comes from Oracle's AI Features Report (downloaded on 16 October 2026), filtered to HCM, plus a few HCM features Oracle lists elsewhere, such as Fusion Claw apps from Oracle's announcement and HR Help Desk features Oracle files under Service. Oracle lists each release update separately, so I've grouped the entries by agent: 328 Oracle entries become 155 catalogue items, each with its full history. The profiles are my practitioner view, checked against Oracle's release notes for each agent. I review the page after every quarterly update.
I write about Oracle HCM and AI each month in The Monthly Field Note. If you'd like to compare notes on your own plans, get in touch.
This is an independent practitioner view, not Oracle documentation. Features, names and availability change each release and depend on your licences and setup; some agentic applications carry extra costs. Always check Oracle's own notes and your environment. Last reviewed October 2026.
