Everything You Should Know About AI in NetSuite

What's Possible With NetSuite AI:
Explore the Latest AI Features & Resources!

With NetSuite’s AI-driven capabilities, businesses can work smarter, and make faster, data-backed decisions to stay ahead of the competition. With AI now embedded throughout the NetSuite platform, businesses have new ways to automate processes, uncover insights, and make faster, data-driven decisions.

In this guide, we’ll explore what’s new in NetSuite AI, how businesses are using these capabilities today, and how to identify opportunities to make AI work for your team.

As of July 2026, Oracle NetSuite has introduced NetSuite AI Units, a new global framework for measuring and managing AI usage across eligible AI capabilities.

For most customers, NetSuite AI Units are included with eligible user licenses at no additional cost. This update gives organizations greater visibility into AI adoption and provides a consistent way to manage usage as more AI-powered features become available within the NetSuite platform.

If you're wondering what NetSuite AI Units are, how they work, and what this update means for your business, here's what you need to know.  

Note: NetSuite is in the process of provisioning each customer's licensed user with 1,000 AI units per month. If these units are consumed before the month ends, users will need to purchase additional AI units.

How Businesses Are Using AI in NetSuite

Unlike standalone AI tools that require separate data connections, NetSuite AI works within an organization's ERP environment, using business data already available across financials, CRM, inventory, and operations.

These capabilities are designed to help users spend less time searching for information and completing manual tasks, and more time focusing on strategic decisions.

The question customers have is not "what AI features exist?" It’s "how can this help my team?"

Finance & Accounting

Finance teams are using AI in NetSuite to reduce manual processes, improve reporting accuracy, and gain faster visibility into financial performance. AI-powered tools can help analyze transactions, assist with reporting, automate routine tasks, and provide insights that help teams make more informed decisions. 

Examples:

• "Summarize month-end trends"
• "Identify unusual transactions"
• "Draft financial narratives"

Sales & CRM

Sales teams can leverage AI to better understand customer activity, improve forecasting, identify opportunities, and streamline quoting processes. AI assistants can help users access information faster and spend less time searching through records.

Examples:

• "Summarize customer history before a call"
• "Analyze pipeline trends"
• "Generate product descriptions"

Operations & Supply Chain

AI can help operations teams identify trends, monitor performance, and improve planning by analyzing historical data and business activity. This enables organizations to make proactive decisions around inventory, purchasing, and resources.

Examples:

• Identify inventory trends: “Which products are selling faster than expected, and which items may need replenishment?”
  
  
• Analyze purchasing patterns: “Which vendors have increased lead times or price changes over the past quarter?”
  
  
• Improve demand planning: “Based on historical sales trends, what inventory levels should we prepare for next month?”
  
  
• Spot operational bottlenecks: “Which processes are causing delays in order fulfillment?”
  
  
• Summarize supply chain performance: “Give me a summary of inventory availability, purchasing activity, and potential risks.”
  
  
  
  

Executives & Leadership

For executives, AI provides faster access to business insights by helping transform ERP data into actionable information. Instead of waiting for reports to be created manually, leaders can use AI-powered tools to better understand business performance.

Examples:

• Get instant business insights: “Give me a summary of our company’s financial performance this quarter.”
  
  
• Identify growth opportunities: “Which products, regions, or customers are driving the most revenue growth?”
  
  
• Analyze business trends: “What are the biggest changes in revenue, expenses, and profitability compared to last year?”
  
  
• Prepare for meetings faster: “Summarize key updates and performance metrics I should know before my executive meeting.”
  
  
• Ask questions in real time: “What areas of the business need attention based on current performance?”

Current AI Capabilities Available in NetSuite (2026)

AI-POWERED ASSISTANCE:

• NetSuite Expert in SuiteAnswers:
Utilizing retrieval augmented generation (RAG) technology, this feature provides quick and precise answers to user queries, enhancing productivity and reducing time spent searching for information.




• Natural Language Search:
AI Natural Language Search in NetSuite allows users to find information by asking questions in everyday language instead of using traditional search methods or manually building complex saved searches. Rather than needing to know specific record names, fields, filters, or search criteria, users can simply type what they are looking for, and AI helps interpret the request and return relevant information.

For example, instead of creating a detailed transaction search with multiple filters, a user could ask:

“Show me all overdue invoices from last month.”

or:

“Which customers have outstanding balances over $10,000?”

NetSuite’s AI capabilities can understand the intent behind the question and help users locate the relevant records and insights faster.

• AI Assistants:
AI Assistants in NetSuite use generative AI to help users work more efficiently by answering questions, summarizing information, and assisting with everyday business tasks directly within NetSuite. Instead of manually searching through records, reviewing multiple reports, or navigating different areas of NetSuite, users can interact with AI using natural language to quickly access insights and get assistance.

AI-POWERED CONTENT CREATION

• NetSuite Prompt Studio:
Refines the quality of AI-generated content by letting admins tailor Text Enhance prompts for specific records and fields.

NetSuite is continuing to introduce AI in small increments, with bigger things planned down the road. Currently they've released "prompts" which are similar to "Custom GPTs" or "Gems" if you've worked with ChatGPT or Google's Gemini respectively.

​

• Text Enhance:
When enabled in supported text fields, Text Enhance uses the information already available within the NetSuite record to help generate or improve content. For example, when creating an inventory item description, it can use existing details like item information, vendor descriptions, and other record data to create a more polished, customer-ready description.

AI-POWERED ANALYTICS & INSIGHTS

• NetSuite Analytics Warehouse AI Assistant:
This tool allows users to request insights in natural language, generating dynamic visual data representations. For example, asking, "What were our top-selling products last month?" can instantly produce an informative chart.

AI has also been incorporated into SuiteAnswers, attempting to answer your question without needing to sift through individual help pages.
