Cloudflare OS

Cloudflare OS is an open-source "operating system" for AI work inside a company. Cloudflare built it for its own staff — engineering through to sales use it daily — and released the code under Apache 2.0 in August 2026 so other organisations can run their own copy rather than rent someone else's product.

It is not an operating system in the kernel sense. The name refers to two other things: a system for making a company productive with AI without the security team losing sleep, and a scheduler for AI workloads in the way a conventional OS schedules processes.

The three parts

• An agent chat surface preloaded with how your company actually works — its documents, systems and conventions — so answers arrive with context instead of generic boilerplate.
• Sandboxed app building. Ask an agent for a "gadget" — a small personal app such as an issue dashboard, a collaborative whiteboard, a slide deck generator — and it is built and run in a sandbox you can then share with colleagues.
• Gatekeepers, a guardrail framework that constrains both agents and the apps they generate, so non-technical staff can experiment freely without a policy incident.

Running it

The whole stack runs locally on pnpm run-local (wrangler plus workerd) for evaluation, or deploys straight into your own Cloudflare account. Because it runs in your account and the source is open, your processes, internal-system connections and accumulated context stay yours — the point Cloudflare makes against closed AI workspaces is that this is what avoids vendor lock-in.

Integrations with GitHub and Google Workspace are configurable, so agents can act on repositories and documents you already have. There is no per-seat licence: cost is whatever the underlying Cloudflare Workers, storage and model usage comes to.

Who it suits

Companies that want an internal AI workspace but need to own the deployment — regulated industries, security-conscious engineering orgs, and teams that would rather fork and customise than file feature requests. It expects someone comfortable with Cloudflare Workers to stand it up.
