OCI Enterprise AI Skills

Use this OCI subdomain as the front door for Oracle Enterprise AI work. Start here when the user goal is about the AI outcome rather than a specific Oracle service name.

How to Use This Domain

Start with the user journey table below.
Read only the smallest topic file that matches the task.
Route database-owned implementation details to db/features/ instead of duplicating Select AI, vector search, or DBMS_VECTOR guidance.

User Journey Routing

User Goal	Start With
Choose or invoke OCI-hosted models, embeddings, rerank, endpoints, or dedicated serving	`models/enterprise-ai-models.md`
Import, fine-tune, host, or lifecycle-manage a custom model	`models/custom-and-imported-models.md`
Build an API-first agent with OpenAI-compatible OCI APIs	`agent-workflows/responses-api-agents.md`
Deploy a packaged agent runtime on OCI-managed infrastructure	`agent-workflows/hosted-applications.md`
Choose the right tool pattern: File Search, Code Interpreter, Function Calling, MCP, or SQL Search	`agent-workflows/agent-tools.md`
Ground answers in documents, vector stores, SQL, or Oracle Database vector search	`data/rag-and-search.md`
Estimate OCI Generative AI or OCI Generative AI Agents cost drivers	`cost/cost-estimation.md`
Secure model or agent access with IAM, private networking, OAuth, guardrails, or audit controls	`governance/private-endpoints-and-governance.md`
Connect Enterprise AI to Autonomous Database, APEX, Oracle Integration, Fusion, or OCI AI Services	`integrations/oracle-platform-integrations.md`

Common Multi-Step Flows

Task	Recommended Sequence
Build a governed enterprise assistant	`responses-api-agents` -> `agent-tools` -> `rag-and-search` -> `cost-estimation` -> `private-endpoints-and-governance`
Move from model experimentation to production serving	`enterprise-ai-models` -> `cost-estimation` -> `private-endpoints-and-governance`
Bring a custom model into OCI serving	`custom-and-imported-models` -> `enterprise-ai-models` -> `cost-estimation` -> `private-endpoints-and-governance`
Deploy a packaged agent runtime	`responses-api-agents` -> `hosted-applications` -> `cost-estimation` -> `private-endpoints-and-governance`
Build RAG over files	`rag-and-search` -> `agent-tools` -> `cost-estimation` -> `responses-api-agents`
Build RAG over Oracle Database	`rag-and-search` -> `db/features/vector-search.md` -> `db/features/dbms-vector.md` -> `db/features/select-ai.md` when in-database generation is needed
Add AI to APEX or Autonomous Database apps	`oracle-platform-integrations` -> relevant `db/features/` or `apex/apexlang/` guidance
Design production access controls	`private-endpoints-and-governance` -> `enterprise-ai-models` or `responses-api-agents` depending on workload

Scope Boundaries

Keep cloud-side model, agent, tool, endpoint, hosting, and governance decisions in this domain.
Use db/features/select-ai.md, db/features/vector-search.md, db/features/dbms-vector.md, and db/features/ai-profiles.md for Oracle Database-owned AI implementation.
Use apex/apexlang/ for APEX application artifact generation and APEX AI agent component templates.
Prefer official Oracle documentation for model availability, supported tools, IAM verbs, endpoint formats, and service limits because Enterprise AI services change frequently.
