Oracle announced Fusion Claw from Austin. It is software that sits inside Fusion and helps a team finish a hard job there, rather than exporting the file. Chief executive Mike Sicilia said customers want measurable value from artificial intelligence in the work they do every week. Twenty-five new Fusion applications use Claw today. Oracle now counts 75 Fusion applications that can take a job through to a result (Oracle, 2026).
On September 13 I wrote that I was waiting for Fusion artificial intelligence to show up in the screens a finance or HR leader uses on Monday. This is that product (September 13).
Gemini or OpenAI suggests a plan, then Fusion does the arithmetic and the posting
A team names the result it wants in Fusion, such as a clean set of books or a staffed week. Google Gemini or OpenAI reads the rules and proposes a plan. Fusion then does the heavy calculation and, if the company allows it, writes the change into the official record. Natalia Rachelson, senior vice president of Fusion Applications and product management, told SiliconANGLE the language model sits in a boxed-off environment and cannot itself change Fusion records such as journal lines or shift assignments (Gillin, 2026).
Oracle named four of the 25 new applications. Ledger helps finance work through accounting lines that will not clear at month end. Workforce Staffing builds a schedule against skills, labor rules, cost, and coverage, then rebuilds it when someone calls out. Shipping Consolidation tests ways to combine shipments without breaking delivery promises. Account Territory Growth Plan compares sales-territory maps before anyone redraws the lines (Oracle, 2026).
Rachelson said earlier Fusion AI applications were built for shorter goals, such as improving renewals. Claw is for work that takes longer and has to change mid-week. She said Oracle did not have a product for that kind of planning until now. A job can also reach a warehouse system or a labor-rules file outside Fusion, through ordinary software connections, still under the authority the company set (Gillin, 2026).
In April I wrote about Oracle's first wave of these job-finishing applications. Claw is the engine underneath them (April 9).
Your rules travel with the job, and Fusion prints a receipt when it finishes
Before a run starts, the company sets what the job is allowed to do: policies, who may approve, risk limits, and when a person must step in. Oracle calls that bundle an Enterprise Operating Envelope. When the job ends, Fusion produces an Outcome Receipt that lists the authority used, the evidence, the decisions, the transactions, and the result. You choose whether the software only drafts a plan or is allowed to post inside the authority you gave it (Oracle, 2026).
Audit will care who wrote the books. Fusion writes them. The language model does not. That is the security design Oracle described to SiliconANGLE (Gillin, 2026).
Oracle has not published a security test written for Claw, a named customer running it in production, or hours saved on the 25 applications. Try one job in your own Fusion account before you let it post.
You buy a separate Fusion product, then you pay for the AI work as it runs
Claw comes with Fusion Agentic Applications. That product is extra on top of a normal Fusion subscription. As the jobs run, the company pays for AI units. The first models are Gemini and OpenAI. Oracle says more will follow. You cannot yet point Claw at a cheaper open model you picked yourself (Gillin, 2026).
If you are choosing a new finance and HR suite, treat Claw as one more reason to look at Fusion, next to cost and the rest of the applications. If you already run Fusion, turn the product on, point it at month-end exceptions or next week's schedule, leave a person on the last click, and compare the AI bill with the hours that spreadsheet used to take.
If you run Fusion this quarter
Ask finance which month-end file still leaves Fusion for Excel. Ask HR which schedule still gets rebuilt by hand. Run one of those jobs for a week with a person on the last approval. Read the receipt and the AI bill. Give the software more authority only after both look like something you would show an auditor.
