How is Cloudflare OS different from Cloudflare Computer?

Cloudflare OS is the end-user workspace where employees chat with agents, build apps, and share documents; Cloudflare Computer is the lower-level runtime that gives an individual agent a virtual filesystem and execution backends. OS sits above Computer's building blocks and adds the multi-user interface, Gatekeeper access controls, and shareable apps.

How does Cloudflare OS reach a company's internal systems?

Cloudflare OS connects to internal systems through two paths: Gatekeepers, which are service-specific Cloudflare Workers that mediate access to each system, and Model Context Protocol servers. All AI requests route through Cloudflare AI Gateway so the customer picks the model, tracks cost, and applies its own policy.

What does the Apache-2.0 license actually allow?

Cloudflare OS ships under Apache-2.0 on GitHub as cloudflare/cloudflare-os, so a customer can fork it, modify it, and run it in their own Cloudflare account without contacting Cloudflare. Cloudflare also runs the hosted version at os.cloudflare.app and lists Presidio and Happy Cog as partners for enterprise customisation.

Do agents in Cloudflare OS actually build working apps?

Yes. Users ask the workspace agent to build a full-stack app; the client and server code run as Dynamic Workers with SQLite databases, and each app is private by default with capability-based sharing. The launch post shows sales dashboards, deal-tracking tools, and internal reporting apps assembled the same way.

What is it?

Cloudflare OS is an open-source workspace platform launched by Cloudflare on 5 August 2026 that lets non-engineers converse with agents to research topics, draft documents and slides, and stand up small internal apps grounded in their company's own data. It ships as the cloudflare/cloudflare-os repository under Apache-2.0 and also runs as a hosted service at os.cloudflare.app.

How does it work?

Under the hood, Cloudflare OS runs on Cloudflare Workers with Durable Objects for per-user state and Dynamic Workers plus SQLite for generated apps. Access to internal systems flows through Gatekeepers (service-specific Workers) and Model Context Protocol portals; every model call routes through Cloudflare's AI Gateway, so the customer chooses the model and controls spend.

Why does it matter?

Cloudflare OS pushes the internal-agent stack out of proprietary consoles and into a repo any team can fork. Capability-based access controls and Gatekeepers give security teams a real story for sharing outputs without leaking source data, and running everything in the customer's own Cloudflare account avoids sending internal context to a third-party SaaS.

Who is it for?
