Exploring OCI Enterprise AI, From Agents to Deep Agents

At the end of March 2026, Oracle released OCI Enterprise AI, introducing a set of tools designed to simplify the development and deployment of agentic solutions based on the Large Language Models available through OCI Generative AI.

This is an important step because enterprise AI is moving beyond simple prompts and chatbots. Today, the real challenge is to build AI agents that can use enterprise data, work with tools, manage context, be observed and run in a production environment enterprise-grade.

OCI Enterprise AI provides two main categories of capabilities:

• Tools for developing AI agents
• Tools for deploying and operating AI agents

These capabilities can be used together, or combined depending on the specific architecture and use case.

Another very interesting aspect is the availability of Responses API, an OpenAI compatible API that makes it easier for developers to build agentic applications using familiar patterns, while running on OCI infrastructure.

Over the last few weeks, I started exploring OCI Enterprise AI through a series of articles on Medium. The goal is to share practical examples, experiments and lessons learned while working with this new platform.

Here are the articles published so far:

OCI Enterprise AI, a summary
A first overview of the platform, its main concepts and why it matters for enterprise AI.

OCI Enterprise AI, first steps with Vector Stores
A practical introduction to Vector Stores, one of the key building blocks for Retrieval Augmented Generation and agentic applications.

Observability for Enterprise AI Agents
An exploration of observability for AI agents, with an open source approach to traces, logs and execution visibility.

Deep Agents on OCI Enterprise AI
A look at Deep Agents, more advanced agentic systems designed to handle complex tasks and richer workflows.

I will continue to use this space, AI in Motion, to connect the dots, share updates and reflect on how enterprise AI is evolving.

For the technical details, code and hands on experiments, you can follow the full series on Medium.

AI is moving fast, and this is one of the areas I will keep exploring closely.
