Release2026-08-05

Cloudflare released Cloudflare OS as open source, a platform that gives staff a browser-based assistant grounded in a company's own terminology, procedures and internal systems, and lets them build small shared apps and scheduled workflows. Access to internal data runs through per-resource permission services rather than shared API keys, and the platform logs what an assistant has read so shared output cannot leak beyond a viewer's own permissions. Running it requires deploying it into a Cloudflare account; a managed version in the Cloudflare dashboard is still in progress.

What changed

The platform ran only inside Cloudflare, as an internal tool built around individual private workspaces and static apps.

What it unlocks

Deploying a self-hosted agent workspace where staff build small internal apps and workflows against company systems, with per-resource permissions instead of shared API keys.
