New open source agent workspace gives employees AI tools built around how their company operates, with security and governance built in by default

Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE:NET), the leading connectivity cloud company, today announced it will launch Cloudflare OS, an open source AI workspace that runs on Cloudflare's global network. Cloudflare OS will give every employee a secure workspace equipped with AI tools and access to internal company systems—without requiring new infrastructure or months of custom development. Today, Cloudflare OS is available now through Cloudflare's open-source repository. Soon organizations will be able to access Cloudflare OS directly through Cloudflare or work with a select group of global implementation partners—including Presidio, Happy Cog and others—to tailor the deployment to their specific environment.

The typical enterprise AI tool knows a great deal about the world and almost nothing about how a specific company operates, its internal systems, approval processes, or the ways teams actually get work done. Every new session starts from zero, with employees re-explaining context the AI should already know. Building a tailored alternative is no small project; a platform with proper security and real integration into internal systems can take years to develop and cost millions to maintain. In the meantime, employees find workarounds, IT loses track of which AI tools are running and who is using them, and costs pile up with little to show for it. Cloudflare OS starts from a different premise: a company captures its knowledge, processes, and ways of working once in a form AI can actually execute, and that knowledge travels with every employee's workspace from day one.

Cloudflare OS started as the platform Cloudflare built to run its own global workforce. Thousands of Cloudflare employees across every team use it daily to perform research, create documents connected to live data, automate repetitive tasks, and build working apps for their day-to-day jobs. Internal tools, documents, and company systems are accessible through secure connection points that verify every user and every request before access is granted. That same platform is now available to any organization as open-source software. Because it's open source and runs in a company's own Cloudflare account, organizations own what they build on it. A company's processes, context, and internal system connections don't get locked into a vendor's closed product. Key capabilities include:

An Agent Workspace for Everyone: Cloudflare OS is accessible directly through the browser without needing developer expertise. Employees get an AI that can conduct research, produce documents tied to live data, or run automated workflows in the background without waiting on IT or a development team.
Apps Anyone Can Build and Share: Any output can become a working app with its own isolated database, real-time capabilities, and access controls. Colleagues can use that app directly or adapt it for their own needs. No developer required.
Zero Trust by Default: Cloudflare OS is built on Cloudflare Access, which verifies every user and every request before anything is granted. AI agents start with zero permissions by default and are given access only to what they need for a specific task. Governed connectors called Gatekeepers give the owners of each internal system precise control over what the AI can see, what it can change, and when a human needs to sign off before an action goes through.
Works on Any Model and Controls Cost: Through Cloudflare AI Gateway, organizations can use any AI model provider, and they're not locked into one vendor. Administrators see exactly what's being spent, broken down by person, team, or app. They can set spending budgets, rate limits, or route routine tasks to smaller, more affordable models where a top-tier model isn't needed.

"Cloudflare OS is how we run Cloudflare. For AI to truly transform an enterprise, it can't live in a silo or behind a developer bottleneck. Every employee needs the ability to build, iterate, and automate safely. Our employees get AI tools connected to the systems they actually use, and security isn't something IT has to bolt on afterward," said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare. "We built this because nothing else did what we needed. Now any company can start from where it took us years to get."

Tailored Enterprise Deployment with Global Partners

To help organizations harness the power of Cloudflare OS, Cloudflare is collaborating with leading global systems integrators to customize the platform for complex, unique customer environments. These partners build directly on Cloudflare’s infrastructure to tailor Cloudflare OS to specific industry requirements, existing tech stacks, and custom compliance needs.

"Security and governance can no longer be an afterthought when deploying autonomous agents and internal AI tools. By grounding Cloudflare OS in Cloudflare's Zero Trust network and capability-based security model, Cloudflare has created a standard for safe enterprise execution. We are proud to join the Cloudflare OS launch to help organizations curate context, deploy Gatekeepers, and deploy enterprise-grade AI applications safely," said Matt Weinberg, co-founder and president at Happy Cog.

CloudflareOS is available today as an open-source platform at https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-os. A managed deployment option is coming soon through the Cloudflare dashboard.
