Cloudflare has announced the launch of Cloudflare OS, an open source AI workspace that runs on Cloudflare's global network. Cloudflare OS gives every employee a secure workspace equipped with AI tools and access to internal company systems without requiring new infrastructure or months of custom development. The platform is available now through Cloudflare's open-source repository.
Cloudflare OS is an open source AI workspace with Zero Trust security built in by default.
Employees get AI tools connected to internal systems without requiring developer expertise.
Zero Trust by default with Cloudflare Access verifying every user and request.
Gatekeepers give system owners precise control over AI access and actions.
AI Gateway supports any model provider with cost controls and spending visibility.
Open source with partner implementation options from Presidio, Happy Cog, and others.
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. 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. The platform is accessible directly through the browser without needing developer expertise, allowing employees to conduct research, produce documents tied to live data, or run automated workflows in the background.
Cloudflare OS provides an Agent Workspace for everyone, accessible through the browser without developer expertise. Apps anyone can build and share allow any output to become a working app with its own isolated database, real-time capabilities, and access controls. Zero Trust by default is built on Cloudflare Access, which verifies every user and every request before anything is granted. AI agents start with zero permissions 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. Through Cloudflare AI Gateway, organizations can use any AI model provider without vendor lock-in, with administrators seeing exactly what's being spent with budgets, rate limits, and model routing.
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. Because it's open source and runs in a company's own Cloudflare account, organizations own what they build on it. To help organizations harness the power of Cloudflare OS, Cloudflare is collaborating with leading global systems integrators including Presidio, Happy Cog, and others to customize the platform for complex, unique customer environments.
"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.
"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.
