Oracle AI Database 26ai is a converged, AI-native platform that brings together transactional, analytical, and AI workloads in one secure, high-performance engine. It eliminates data movement, reduces complexity, and delivers enterprise-grade capabilities for modern AI-powered applications.
AI Designed for Data
Foundational AI Technologies
- Unified Hybrid Vector Search — Combine semantic vector search with relational, JSON, graph, spatial, and text search in a single query.
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server — Enables AI agents and LLMs to interact directly with the database for iterative reasoning and accurate results.
- Built-in Data Privacy Protection — Row, column, and cell-level security with dynamic masking so agents only see authorized data.
- Oracle Unified Memory Core — Low-latency reasoning across all data types (vector, JSON, graph, relational, etc.) in one engine.
- Oracle Exadata for AI — Hardware + software co-engineered for massive acceleration of vector queries via AI Smart Scan and offload.
- NVIDIA Integration — Support for NVIDIA NIM containers and future GPU acceleration via Private AI Services Container.
AI for Application Development
- Private Agent Factory — No-code visual builder to create, deploy, and manage secure data-centric AI agents (Knowledge Agent, Data Analysis Agent, etc.).
- Select AI Agent — In-database framework for building and orchestrating agentic workflows.
- AI Semantic Modeling — Helps AI understand data context for better code generation and answers.
- Unified Data Model — Access the same data as relational, JSON document, or graph using SQL.
