Orbit AI Thinkboxes · Conversational AI for Oracle ERP
Ask Your Oracle ERP Anything. Get the Same Trusted Answer Every Time.
Prebuilt for Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Fusion Cloud.
AI Thinkboxes give finance, procurement, supply chain, and HR teams a conversational AI analyst that already understands your Oracle data. They run on any cloud or on-prem data warehouse, and every answer shows its reasoning, its SQL, and the security rules applied.

What Is a Thinkbox?
A Model of Your Business That AI Reasons Over
Most conversational AI tools look at a list of tables and guess. A Thinkbox gives the AI the context your experts carry in their heads: which tables matter, how they connect, how each metric is calculated, and who is allowed to see what.
Why It’s Different
Not Another Chatbot on Your Data.
Conversational AI That Knows Oracle.
Generic conversational AI analysts look great on clean sample data. On a real Oracle ERP schema with thousands of tables, cryptic column names, and multi-org security, they struggle. Here’s how Thinkboxes compare.
| Generic Conversational AI | BI Tool Copilots | Orbit Conversational AI Thinkboxes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Understands Oracle EBS & Fusion | ✕ Starts from a blank schemaYou teach it everything | ~ Only what’s in your dashboards | ✓ Prebuilt Thinkboxes per module15+ years of Oracle ERP know-how |
| Same question, same answer | ✕ Varies from run to run | ~ Within existing reports | ✓ Grounded in agreed metrics |
| Shows its work | ~ Sometimes shows SQL | ✕ Mostly a black box | ✓ Reasoning, SQL, and source tables |
| Respects ERP security | ✕ Rebuild it yourself | ~ Tool-level permissions | ✓ Ledger, OU, and BU rules in the model |
| Any warehouse, cloud or on-prem | ~ Usually one cloud platform | ✕ Tied to the BI vendor | ✓ Cloud warehouses and on-prem databases |
| Time to first trusted answer | ✕ Months of data modeling | ~ After dashboards are built | ✓ Start from a prebuilt Thinkbox |
Prebuilt Thinkboxes
Ready for Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Fusion Cloud
Tables, joins, metrics, and security for each module are already mapped, so conversational AI works on your Oracle data from day one. Turn on the modules you use and start asking questions.
Oracle E-Business Suite
EBS Has Decades of Your Data. Now You Can Just Ask It.
Bring conversational AI to E-Business Suite. EBS Thinkboxes know that a “hold” lives in AP_HOLDS_ALL and that every invoice belongs to an operating unit.
Oracle Fusion Cloud
Get Past the Limits of Fusion’s Built-In Reporting.
Fusion Thinkboxes sit on Orbit’s Fusion data pipeline, so your Fusion data is ready for conversational AI in the warehouse you choose.
Moving From EBS to Fusion?
One Question. Answered Across Both.
Most companies live with EBS history and Fusion transactions side by side for years. With Orbit’s unified data models, a Thinkbox can answer “show spend by supplier for the last five years” even when three of those years are in EBS. Your users never need to know where the data came from.
How It Works
From Connection to Conversational AI in Four Steps
1
Connect
Point Orbit at your cloud warehouse with a read-only connection, or use the Secure Data Gateway for on-prem and private-network data.
2
Pick a Thinkbox
Turn on prebuilt EBS or Fusion Thinkboxes for the modules you use. Tables, joins, metrics, and security are already mapped.
3
Tailor It
Your finance and ops experts add company-specific metrics, custom tables, and business terms. No coding needed.
4
Ask
Users have a conversation with their data in plain English in the Orbit workspace, Slack, or Microsoft Teams, and get answers with reasoning, SQL, and sources.
Easy to Deploy, Easy to Adopt
Built for IT to Approve and for Users to Love
Live in Weeks, Not Quarters
Prebuilt Thinkboxes skip months of data modeling. Start with one module, prove value, then expand.
Deploy Anywhere
Cloud, on-prem, or VPC, with a Secure Data Gateway for sources that never leave your network.
No Copies, No New Pipelines
Queries run where your data already lives. Your data is never used to train AI models.
Zero Training for Users
Conversational AI means if people can write a Slack message, they can use a Thinkbox. No query builders or report catalogs to learn.
Inherited ERP Security
Ledger, business unit, and data access controls flow through from Oracle. Nothing re-implemented, nothing drifts.
Every Answer Auditable
Each answer records who asked, the SQL that ran, the rules applied, and the source tables.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How are Orbit Thinkboxes related to AirQuery?
Orbit Thinkboxes use the same conversational AI engine as AirQuery. The difference is that Orbit ships prebuilt Thinkboxes for Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Fusion Cloud, so ERP teams start with a model that already understands their data.
Do I need a cloud data warehouse?
No. Thinkboxes work on cloud warehouses such as Oracle ADW, Snowflake, Databricks, and Redshift, and on on-prem databases through the Secure Data Gateway. If your Fusion data isn’t in a warehouse yet, Orbit Data Pipelines can land it there.
How is this different from ChatGPT or other conversational AI tools?
General-purpose conversational AI tools and BI copilots guess at what your tables mean. A Thinkbox tells the AI exactly how your Oracle data fits together, which metrics your company has agreed on, and who can see what. That’s why the same question returns the same answer, with the SQL and sources to prove it.
Will users see data they shouldn't?
No. Security is part of the Thinkbox model, not a prompt instruction. Ledger, operating unit, business unit, and row-level rules apply to every question from every channel.
Is our data used to train AI models?
No. Queries run in your warehouse, Orbit receives only the result rows each answer needs, and your data is never used for model training.
Can we customize the prebuilt Thinkboxes?
Yes. Your experts can add custom tables, descriptive flexfields, company-specific metrics, and business terms. Prebuilt content gives you a head start without locking you in.
We already use Orbit for reporting. Does this replace it?
No. Thinkboxes sit alongside your Orbit reports and dashboards. Formatted, scheduled reports stay where they are, and ad hoc questions go to the Thinkbox.
