Release2026-08-05

Cloudflare released Cloudflare OS as open source, a platform that gives staff a browser-based assistant workspace grounded in a company's own terminology, procedures and internal systems, and lets them build small shareable apps and scheduled automations. Access to internal data is brokered by per-service policy services that hold credentials, log what was read, and check that anyone opening shared work is allowed to see the same sources. It must be deployed into an organization's own Cloudflare account today; a managed version in the dashboard is still to come.

What changed

The earlier internal version was Cloudflare-only, built around private individual workspaces with static apps and no way to track which underlying data an agent had seen.

What it unlocks

Deploying a company-wide agent and app workspace on your own Cloudflare account, where generated apps run as isolated Workers and access to internal systems is brokered by per-service policy layers instead of shared API keys.

  • two repositories released: core and example deployment
  • first internal version given to all Cloudflare staff in May

What you need to act on it

  • a Cloudflare account
  • self-hosted deployment from GitHub
  • Cloudflare Access and AI Gateway configuration
  • engineering effort to build service-specific Gatekeepers
