AI transforms chatbots into true digital assistants that help employees simplify user engagement, boost efficiency and improve productivity
Oracle announced the availability of Oracle Digital Assistant, enabling companies to build personalized digital assistants to help employees work smarter and more productively. With Oracle Digital Assistant, employees leverage one comprehensive digital assistant that can be trained to support domain skills from multiple applications such as HR, ERP, CRM and CX. Leveraging AI, Oracle Digital Assistant understands context, derives intent, and identifies and learns user behaviors and patterns to automate routine tasks proactively, such as expense approvals and meeting reschedules, on behalf of the user.
Built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle Digital Assistant goes well beyond standard chatbots available today that provide simple, single skilled, linear responses. By applying AI for natural language processing (NLP), natural language understanding (NLU) and machine learning (ML), Oracle is in a unique position to leverage its breadth and depth in enterprise applications, and offer a digital assistant that can truly span the enterprise.

Users can converse with the Oracle Digital Assistant via the voice interface but it is platform agnostic and is equally optimized to support popular messaging platforms including Slack, Facebook Messenger, WeChat, and Alexa.

Industry Accolades
Multiple independent industry analyst reports have recognized Oracle for its multi-channel and digital experience development platforms. According to Ovum’s Decision Matrix: Selecting an Enterprise Mobile Application Development Platform, 2018-19 report, “Oracle is well placed to take advantage of the MADP marketplace where chatbots are becoming the norm for many customer interactions. Having a chatbot platform powered by AI will be looked upon favorably by both enterprise and SMB clients. Some of the AI technology, such as voice recognition, is now standard from providers such as Apple with Siri and Android with Google Voice, and Oracle seamlessly integrates with these services. Furthermore, Oracle’s heritage in the back office means that it will be well placed to help clients integrate the data emanating from the apps into the systems of record.”
