Introducing the Oracle HCM Fast Formula Agent – Built with AI to Help You Work Smarter

🚀 Introducing the Oracle HCM Fast Formula Agent – Built with AI to Help You Work Smarter

After months of juggling fast formulas, fielding questions from HR teams, and trying to decode cryptic payroll logic at 2AM, I decided it was time to build something better.

Today, I'm proud to share an open-source project that came from that journey:

👉 Oracle HCMFast Formula Agent – A smart, simple tool that uses Generative AI to help you generate, validate, explain, and modify Oracle HCM Fast Formulas, and more!

🎥 Check out a quick demo:

💡 Why I Built It

Working in the Oracle Cloud HCM space, I saw firsthand how challenging it can be to:

• Interpret legacy Fast Formulas written years ago
• Validate logic across hundreds of conditional paths
• Explain formula outcomes to business users
• Generate new formulas based on complex rules — under tight deadlines

And with the rise of AI, I thought: Why not build an assistant that understands Oracle HCM and speaks formula?

⚙️ What It Does

With this Flask-based app, you can:

✅ Generate new Fast Formulas from plain-English descriptions
✅ Explain existing formulas in readable, line-by-line language
✅ Validate and suggest corrections for logic/syntax errors
✅ Modify formulas based on user input
✅ Extend the tool with new actions using a plugin system

It even has a clean admin panel and a dark mode toggle because... well, late-night debugging deserves a good theme.

📦 Plugin Architecture

Want to add your own action like summarize_formula or compare_logic_blocks? Just drop it in the plugins/ folder. No changes to the main app required. It's built for extensibility.

🐳 Docker Ready

Whether you’re developing locally or deploying in the cloud, the app comes with a Dockerfile that runs the app via Gunicorn for production-grade performance.

🔗 Get Started

Clone it, run it, or fork it for your own use:

🙌 A Call to the Oracle Community

I built this for consultants, analysts, and developers who need to move fast and support critical Oracle HCM needs in the Fast Formula space, but also to share an example of how AI Powered application development can be compelling and reduce the need for conditional and hardcoded business logic by instead leveraging the power of generative AI  to interpret natural language. If you try it out and find it helpful — or have ideas for improving it — I’d love to collaborate.

Thanks for reading. Now go automate your formula headaches away.
